KOLKATA: From Monday, South-Eastern Railway (SER) will be increasing its local train services from 104 to its full fleet of 146. Of these, 72 suburban trains will run in the Up direction and 74 in the Down direction.
After the state government allowed the resumption of local train services, SER has been restoring its EMU trains in a phased manner, resuming services of 48 suburban locals from October 31 and those of 104 by November 8.
An SER spokesperson said elaborate arrangements have been made for regular sanitization of the coaches. The zone is also organising awareness campaigns through public address system to ensure all health protocols are followed, appealing to passengers not to travel unless extremely essential. Along with CCTV surveillance, additional security has also been deployed in trains and stations.
