During the situation of lockdown in all the States, Indian Railways staff deployed at various good sheds, stations and control offices continued working on 24/7 basis to ensure that the supply of essential items for the nation does not get affected.

On Friday, 34648 wagons carried supplies to keep the supply chains functional. Of these, 23682 wagons of essential commodities were ferried by Indian Railways in 425 rakes to ensure that the supply chains keep functioning. The total number of wagons carrying essential commodities during the past five days thus reached approximately 1.25 lakhs.

It may be noted that Ministry of Home Affairs has lifted restrictions on movement of goods to facilitate easy loading and unloading at the various locations across the nation.This has removed ground level discretion in permissions regarding loading and unloading of goods of various kinds at Terminals spread across India.

Special efforts are being made by Indian Railways to ferry these goods to maintain the supply chain in the lock down period.
