The Maharashtra government has decided to issue single journey daily tickets for local trains in Mumbai.
Late on October 30, the State Disaster Management Authority sent a letter to Western and Central Railways directing them to issue all kinds of tickets, including daily ones, which were earlier not allowed.
However, the daily tickets will be issued to only those who have been fully vaccinated, the state government order read. Currently, owing to Covid-19 protocols, the state government is only issuing passes to those who have got two shots of a vaccine and have completed 14 days since their second dose.
