The Central Railway has decided to run 10 AC local services on the section from today amid covid-19 pandemic.


"We are happy with this service. It is a good step and will be a relief for us in summer," said Gautam, who is a local commuter.

Another commuter Shankar Patil said," This is a good step. We want the rest of the rail services to resume as soon as possible. We are facing a lot of trouble. It takes us long hours to travel from one place to another."
