All passengers must be screened.
More than 1.45 lakh of passengers are expected to travel on the first day as the railways restart 200 trains today as part of the coronavirus lockout, which has been extended until June 30. The special passenger trains are an addition to 15 trains that were restarted last month as the railways ramp up their operations.
About 26 lakh passengers have made reservations for this month, the railways said in a tweet Sunday.
The first train to restart last night was the Varanasi Mahanagri Express from Mumbai, one of the cities hardest hit by coronavirus, last night. In a video tweeted by the Ministry of Railways, passengers could be seen wearing masks while officials were taking their body temperatures.

In his monthly radio address, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Sunday: “The Indian railway family is at the forefront of the fight against COVID-19”.
Under the SOPs issued by the Ministry of the Interior, all passengers must undergo a thermal control and only those found asymptomatic will be allowed to board the train.
On board the train, all passengers must maintain a social distance and wear face masks throughout the journey. All passengers are also encouraged to use hand sanitizers.
No bed linen, blankets or curtains will be provided inside the train. Passengers are invited to bring their own sheets if they need them. The temperatures inside AC coaches must be properly regulated for this purpose.
