In a memorandum submitted to Madurai Divisional Railway Manager V.R. Lenin here on Tuesday, Mr. Venkatesan said that the viral infection has come down to a significant extent and the Centre has relaxed the lockdown conditions. “Even after the State Government having given permission for operation of passenger trains, the railway administration has not come forward to operate passenger trains,” he said. He recalled that three pairs of passenger trains were being operated between Madurai and Rameswaram before the lockdown. Similarly, Rameswaram-Kanniyakumari tri-weekly express trains were also operated earlier.
