A statement has been issued by the Ministry of Railways stating that unreserved train services are being introduced in a phased manner.

According to the statement, the UTS facility on the mobile app will also be provided on non-suburban sections of Zonal Railways. The facility is now available only in suburban categories. Due to the commencement and lockdown of the corona, the UTS facility on the mobile application was discontinued by Indian Railways. Recently, it was announced that Indian Railways will run Holi special trains to reduce the rush of passengers at the festival. According to the report, Northern Railway announced the addition of 18 pairs of new special trains to facilitate the passengers due to Holi.
