Goyal stated that train journeys have to be planned and the ministry does not want that after all the preparations and planning, the trains only idle on respective stations and are eventually cancelled as it had happened before.
These trains will be fully reserved trains having both AC & Non AC classes. The general coaches will also be reserved seats for sitting. Most importantly, there will be no unreserved coach on the train.
Railway Minister Piyush Goyal had interacted with Chairman Railway Board VK Yadav, General Managers of all zones and Divisional Railway Managers through video conferencing on Wednesday.
