Kolkata: After training on Sunday dresses, the train faces a working day test on Monday and hardly manages to make progress in upholding social distance rules.
People give carefully into the air and push each other while going up or down the crowded compartment.
Eastern Railway (ER), which brought most of the suburban passengers along the Division of Sealdah and Howrah, did not expect things to be the opposite.
Go with statistics, ensuring 50% occupancy is “impossibility”.
According to officials, the emu compartment can accommodate 124 passengers.
Thus, only 62 must be permitted or around 750 must take the 12 train train.
From 8am to 11am, around 3,000 commuters took an average local train.
That’s 250 per compartment.
Train police personnel request commuter continuously, trying to control the surge in passengers.
“We made an announcement, urging people not to jostle up to climb up.
RPF uses Loudhailer to warn transmission.
Starting tomorrow, there will be more RPF personnel on the train,” said a spokesman for Ekalabya Chakrabory.
On Monday, Er Ran 820 trains in 93 garu in Division Sealdah and 380 services in 50 Rakes in the Horwah Division.
South-Eastern Railway (SER), other zone train headquartered in Kolkata, operating 49 EMU services from the usual 190.
In many stations, commuters demand more trains to avoid rush.
DRM SP Singh said: “We will run 870 services at the end of the week.” In pre-covid, ER Ran 920 services along the Uiety Division and 488 in the HOWRA DIVISION.
The scene is like pre-pandemic days, with a long ticket queue and crowding at stations such as sonarpur, recently, barasat, sodepur, barrackpore, serampore and naihati.
Trains along Krishnagore, Bongaon, Hasnabad, Gede, Canning and Lakshmikantapur are equally crowded from the normal period.
“Everyone wants to go in at the same time,” said ER official.
Prasanta Das, an employee at the State Phe Department, said: “Unable to wait for the next train.
So far, special staff run and canceled and turned on.
Starting today, the office will not accept the reason late.” If he was worried, some were relieved.
Yubilant vendors at the Sheoraphuli station worshiped Rake with a bouquet of flowers as the fastest and cheapest travel facilities back after six months.
But passengers from the stubborn stubborn station saw red because it was specially replaced with regular services, and the train was no longer stopped at their stations.
ER officials are preparing for violations of a cooler and covid protocol.
“Monitor 206 and 176 stations in the Seordah and Howrah Division, respectively, or 286 stations of the two divisions are a big challenge.
Points of entry can only be checked at the station of Howrah and Seacah,” said an official.
The train cannot add more locals.
For that, the track, crowded with long distance running, passenger and shipping goods, need an upgrade.
