Parcel trains continues to run to ensure essential commodities in every part of the country

Nagpur Division has always been a front runner to render its services during any crisis situation. Lockdown posed a lot of problems. The main concern of the Government was to ensure the availability of essential commodities in every part of the country.  Nagpur being the heart of the country, played a key role to ensure the smooth movement of goods and commodities. A parcel train from Nagpur railway station to Howrah, which included medicines, fruits and essential food items, was left from the city today.

During the lockdown period
Perishable commodities like Orange, Anar, Mango, Ginger, Garlic, Mousambi, Mushrooms, mix veg, Fish etc. were despatched. Hard parcels(general goods) were also booked viz. Medicines, medical equipments, camphor, saunf, Packing materials, Kirana goods etc were also despatched.  The major destinations were towards the eastern region namely Durg, Raipur, Bilaspur, Jharsuguda, Rourkela, TATA, Shalimar(kolkata), Changsari.  Goods were also booked in other destinations like Badnera, Akola,Bhuswal, Jalgaon, Mumbai towards Western region.

In this crisis situation, Nagpur division, Central rly played a key role in transporting essential commodities services.
