PUNE: Train services between the city and Mumbai are unlikely to resume anytime soon.
“Trains between Pune and Mumbai were stopped because of the rising number of Covid-19 cases. The state government is yet to speak to the railway authorities about resuming the services. So, it is unlikely that the services will start soon,” divisional railway manager (DRM), Pune, Renu Sharma said while addressing a news conference on Thursday.
“Once the state government approaches us, we shall forward the proposal to the Railway Board. The process of unlocking is on and inter-district movement has been allowed by the state government without e-passes,” Sharma said.
Currently, only the Pune-Danapur Express operates from Pune and seven other trains pass through the city.
