The pandemic isn’t over and it still feels like we are in the fog of war phase of the pandemic. With the uncertainty and fear hanging over travelling, no one knew when everything will be back to normal.
Recently the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) head, Raj Thackeray, demanded that the Chief Minister reinstate local train services for the general public, particularly for those who had completed their vaccinations.
