A day after the state government issued an order allowing
only fully-vaccinated people to board local trains in the Mumbai Metropolitan
Region (MMR) by availing only monthly, quarterly and half-yearly passes, the
Railways may stop issuing the daily local train tickets.
An internal notification from Railways is yet to be released
in this regard. The Central Railway on
Wednesday stopped issuing daily single and return journey tickets completely,
the Western Railway was issuing daily tickets in absence of the internal
notification following the state government order.
Earlier, the state had allowed workers under essential
services and government personnel to travel in trains irrespective of their
vaccination status and they were allowed to buy daily single or return journey
tickets.
Commuters other than the essential service workers, even
though being fully vaccinated and completing 14 days after the second dose,
were not allowed to buy daily tickets.
The railway passenger association, however, is demanding daily tickets
be issued to the fully vaccinated according to the government guidelines.
