The Indian Railways is running extra trains to meet the increased pressure on certain routes. Officials said this passenger growth is most likely a seasonal phenomenon and that there is no evidence of any mass exodus yet. According to a Rail Ministry presentation, the trains are for destinations having high demand like Gorakhpur, Patna, Darbhanga, Varanasi, Guwahati, Barauni, Prayagraj, Bokaro, Ranchi and Lucknow. Fears of a surge in outflow from urban areas had grown after the State governments started re-introducing stricter COVID-19 restrictions and night curfews. These concerns are rooted in the experience last year when the country was overnight pushed into Covid-19 lockdowns and business activities were shut. This had led to a massive exodus of workers from urban areas back to their native places due to lack of livelihood.
