Railway- After stopping the speed of Corona, on the one hand, the oxygen supply to the trains decreased significantly and on the other hand, there was a huge increase in the number of passengers traveling on the trains. At the request of passengers, the railways began to operate many long-distance trains. These trains have the largest number of migrant workers.

As a result, the movement of people in trains has increased.
