Indian Railways is working to ensure that it is in the forefront of offering its services to the country. Chairman and CEO, Railway Board Suneet Sharma on Friday discussed the steps being undertaken by railways during COVID times.

For instance, types of tankers and wagons were selected, routes were mapped keeping in mind that oxygen is cryogenic and sudden acceleration and deceleration had to be avoided. Over three thousand 800 COVID coaches are available.
