Two Rajdhani trains arrive in New Delhi from Patna, Ahmedabad


New Delhi, May 13 (IANS): Two Special Rajdhani Express trains carrying passengers from Patna and Ahmedabad arrived at the New Delhi railway station on Wednesday, a day after 15 pairs of trains resumed services 48 days after a nationwide lockdown was announced to combat the spread of novel coronavirus.
