Students from schools and colleges below the age of 18, who aren’t eligible for the coronavirus vaccine, will be permitted to use the local train services in Mumbai, reported the Times of India. On Thursday, the Maharashtra government undertook some additions to the sections permitted for services that were limited to those fully inoculated.

Apart from those who are fully vaccinated and have completed 14 days since, even those individuals who aren’t able to take a vaccine owing to medical conditions, with a doctor’s certificate to confer this in addition to those below the age of 18 and are thus not eligible for vaccination will be treated equally to utilize certain services. These services comprise local train travel, entry to temples in some districts, malls, auditoriums, restaurants, wedding halls as well as multiplexes.

It is anticipated that these relaxations will be crucial for students in junior colleges since they will be able to attend physical classes. According to accounts, some educational establishments have commenced science practicals as a starter to reopening their doors fully. Since many students are keen on attending in-person classes, allowing them to ply by local trains will come in handy.

Based on the account, railway authorities will adhere to the government guidelines. Those below the age of 18 will benefit from this travel advantage for up to 60 days since their vaccination becomes available. Upon the availability of vaccines, they will be needed to get inoculated to benefit from the services.
