The Central Railway's (CR) Nagpur division, popular for oranges, has increased ferrying of oranges by trains amid the lockdown period. In spite of lockdown, about 400 quintals of oranges have been despatched from Nagpur.

"Nagpur, the winter capital of Maharashtra, is famous throughout the country as 'Orange City' for being a major trade centre of oranges that are cultivated in the region. CR has so far parcelled as many as 22,891 packages in April to far-off places like Rourkela in Odhisa and Tatanagar in Jharkhand," CR Nagpur's senior divisional commercial manager Krishnath Patil told Mid-Day.
