Ratlam (Madhya Pradesh): Railway passengers have demanded that the passenger trains stopped during corona period should be restarted as short-distance passengers were facing severe difficulties in their movement during the daytime in particular.
Convener Nagda-Ratlam UP DOWN railway passengers association Mahendra Nagar in a statement issued today said that passengers never faced such difficulties in the movement between Ratlam-Nagda due to a lack of rail services during daytime. He said that between Ratlam and Nagda a good number of villages exist and about 35-40 thousand people reside.
They have to move quite often for their work but due to a lack of rail services between Ratlam-Nagda mainly due to the non-restoration of pre-Covid era trains or change of timings, difficulties have increased manifold. He cited that short-distance passengers from Nagda to Ratlam have a train service at 8.30 AM and the next train service is at 5 PM. He added that Express trains run but do not have stoppages at small railway stations.
