Amid the decrease in the COVID-19 cases in the national capital, the Northern Railway on Saturday decided to re-start the sale of platform tickets at eight major stations of the Delhi Division.

General Manager of Northern Railway Ashutosh Gangal said, "The Northern Railways has decided to re-start the sale of platform tickets at eight major stations of Delhi Division. The rates of the platform ticket have been enhanced to Rs 30 per platform ticket in order to prevent unnecessary crowding at the station."
