Several Shramik Trains since yesterday have been diverted, delayed and stuck since yesterday leaving passengers stranded for hours without food. The reason, officers say, is major congestion on route due to the fact that the trains are running without a time table. Thread 👇 https://twitter.com/A2D2_/status/1264065548251324422
Most of the Shramik Trains are heavily concentrated on a select few routes with most of them going towards UP and Bihar. Since these are not scheduled time tabled trains and running at random these zones are scrambling to manage heavier than usual traffic on these routes...
Divisions managing trains towards Eastern UP and Bihar are running more trains than in normal times without a schedule due to which routes are getting choked.

Plans to run more trains is getting ramped daily as more and more migrants are lining up to go back.
It would be better if regular time tabled services start again but since these are special trains it is hard to run them on a time table, officers say it takes hours to board, check passengers for symptoms, de-board them at stations and arrange buses at destinations etc daily.
Of the total Shramik Trains run so far 1200 have gone to Uttar Pradesh and 800 to Bihar, along the routes which are now getting choked.
