In the relentless fight against Covid, the Ministry of Railways is taking rapid action to swiftly move isolation coaches to places of demand (made by respective states) mobilising workforce and material for this task. The Railways has made available a fleet of more than 4400 coaches with around 70,000 beds to serve as Isolation Units in the country.
In the latest update, with the latest demands from the State of Assam, Railway has swiftly moved 21 isolation coaches to Guwahati and 20 to Badarpur near Silchar in Assam (N. F. Railway). Earlier in the week, Isolation Coaches were deployed at Sabarmati, Chandlodiya and Dimapur respectively.
