Despite facing unprecedented COVID-19 related challenges in the year 2020, the Indian Railways was able to keep the national supply chain running and move millions of people back home. In a bid to step up its fight against the deadly Coronavirus, the Indian Railways had decided to completely shut down Mumbai's lifeline &mdash; the local trains &mdash; from March 22 midnight.

The central government announced special trains for migrant labourers waiting to go home. Mid-day team has reached Bhiwandi station for a special coverage on the first train to Gorakhpur which is set for departure on Saturday night.
