The West Bengal government has written to the Eastern Railway (ER) seeking to discuss running a few pairs of suburban trains daily while observing the COVID-19 regulations.
"GoWB is concerned to see the use of unquiet means to disperse passengers in need at railway platforms and has written a letter to railway authorities for discussions towards plying of a few pairs of trains in the morning and afternoon hours for general commuters at large on observance of physical distancing norms and public health protocol," it said in a series of tweets and shared the letter written by state home secretary HK Dwivedi to the ER general manager.
