New Delhi: The Railways has announced that there will be no special trains for migrant labourers till May 3. The railway’s explanation is based on the fake news that special trains will run to return migrant labourers trapped in different parts of the country.
All travel trains across the country have been cancelled until May 3. Similarly, no special train service has been set up – the Railway Ministry’s official Twitter page said. He also said that anyone spreading false messages in this regard should be brought to the notice of the Ministry.
The IRCTC said it has decided to give a refund to all reserved trains till May 3 and that the trains will not be operated until May 3 in case of a lockdown. But e-tickets need not be cancelled. Those who canceled e-tickets will be refunded.
