The Karnataka government has decided to limit the movement of trains from Mumbai by cutting down all its halts, keeping only the last station, Bengaluru City, as the alighting point. The station officially called Krantivira Sangolli Rayanna (KSR) Bengaluru is the only station where state health authorities have COVID-19 protocols of thermal screening and quarantine stamping.

A note from Central Railway (CR) informed passengers that they had decided to eliminate the stops of special train No.01301 Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus Mumbai — KSR Bengaluru Special as per the request of the Karnataka government in view of the pandemic. The train will not halt at stations like Yelahanka Junction, Bengaluru East, and Bengaluru Cantonment from July 24.
