In view of the rising coronavirus cases in the national capital, the Central government has suspended all train services at Delhi's Anand Vihar railway station from today. 

Railway official said, all platforms at Anand Vihar Terminal will be reserved for the deployment of isolation coaches for Covid-19 patients. Two trains with special Covid-19 coaches have already arrived at the railway station. All five trains running from Anand Vihar



station will now operate from Old Delhi Railway Station.

Home Minister Amit Shah has said that the Central government will provide 500 railway coaches to Delhi to overcome the shortage of hospital beds for coronavirus patients.
