The second wave of Covid-19 has led to a drive of panic. Partial lockdowns and curfews have forced people into their homes again. There’s a rush of passengers to return back to their homes. Therefore to reduce the burden of people, the Railways has decided to run new special trains through Visakhapatnam.
Here is a list of two special one-way trains with a stoppage at Visakhapatnam Railway Station.

The one way running special trains will also be stopping at Bhadrak, Palasa.
