Hyderabad: The South Central Railway (SCR) has installed thermal screening facilities across its railway stations to screen passengers before they board the train. The SCR make arrangements to resume the services of passenger trains from June 1^st.

According to the officials that the thermal screening is now mandatory for rail passengers intending to travel by special trains to undergo thermal screening at early points. We have installed computerized thermal screening machines as a part of our intensified methods to prevent the spread Covid- 19. Only passengers who are found asymptomatic will be permitted to travel, in case a passenger found to be symptomatic of Covid- 19 during screening, they shall be allowed to travel. In such case, a full refund of ticket fare will be provided to passenger.

As thousands of passengers are expected to arrive at the stations once the special passenger trains operations resume, these scanners will be able to detect temperatures quickly unlike the manual one. Apart from this, to provide a hassle free boarding experience, the SCR will have separate entry and exit gates as much as possible.

Secunderabad- Howrah Special, Secunderabad- Danapur Special, Secunderabad- Guntur Special, Secunderabad- Hazrat Nizamuddin while the Hyderabad- New Delhi Special will also have a halt here.
