Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray is leaving no stone unturned to resume Mumbai local trains for the general public. Yesterday, Uddhav in his speech said that his government is in talk with Central to start the local train.
“We have opened almost everything and the economic activity is picking up pace. We are currently in talks with the Centre. Piyush Goyal ji has been very cooperative. As we get clearances from the Centre, we will proceed towards starting local trains also,” Uddhav Thackeray said in an address to the state. But, CM Thackeray did not mention any specific date from when local trains will start for all commuters.

From October 23, women passengers were also allowed to use the services.
