Indian Railways to start services of 71 unreserved trains from April 5

Railways is going to start 71 unreserved train services from April 5 to increase transport facilities for passengers. Union Railways Minister Piyush Goyal said this has been done to ensure safe and comfortable travel for passengers.

Earlier this month, the Railways reactivated the 'UTS on Mobile' app to decongest unreserved ticketing system counters at different stations to avoid any chaos and ensure social distancing at unreserved ticket booking counters.

Indian Railways has instructed Zonal Railways that whenever unreserved train services are introduced, the Zonal Railway concerned will accordingly enable UTS on Mobile app for booking unreserved tickets.

The Indian Railways has also introduced a Rajdhani Superfast Special train between Hazrat Nizamuddin in Delhi and Secunderabad in Telangana to ensure passenger convenience. This train, which will be operational from April 4, will run from Delhi every Sunday and from Secunderabad on Wednesday.
