Thousands of passengers entering Mumbai through LTT Kurla, one of the city’s biggest rail terminals, are walking out of the facility without COVID tests as the BMC has allegedly run out of testing kits. Sources said the civic team at LTT had just 10 kits on Saturday. About 18-20 trains arrive at LTT daily, each bringing in nearly 5,000 passengers. 

Railway officials said that the task of screening and testing passengers is with BMC and the railway provides RPF and GRP staff and home guards if required to manage crowds.
