The Railways has modified guidelines for Shramik special trains, which ferry stranded migrant labourers from various states during the nationwide lockdown.
According to the revised guidelines, the capacity of these special trains should be equal to the number of sleeper berths. Therefore, the capacity of these special trains will be increased from 1,200 to more than 1,700, meaning that the trains can now operate with middle berths being occupied as well.
Moreover, these trains will also have up to three stoppages in the destination state. The ministry has also appealed to all states, especially those which have allowed very few trains, to give approvals liberally.
The special trains have 24 coaches which are currently carrying 54 passengers in each coach against a capacity of 72 passengers.
