The booking for passenger trains has been delayed by two hours. The official website of the Indian Railways, irctc.co.in, is failing to load due to the high rush of people wanting to book tickets amid a countrywide lockdown. The booking will now begin at 6 PM. Partially resuming passenger train operations from tomorrow, the Indian Railways will run at least 15 pairs of trains, equalling 30 journeys including the return trips. These trains will be run as special trains from New Delhi Station connecting Dibrugarh, Agartala, Howrah, Patna, Bilaspur, Ranchi, Bhubaneswar, Secunderabad, Bengaluru, Chennai, Thiruvananthapuram, Madgaon, Mumbai Central, Ahmedabad and Jammu Tawi.

Train ticket bookings will be available in a short while. Please wait. Inconvenience is regretted.”
