Local trains on Central Railway got social distancing markers on the seats of all compartments as a part of the COVID-19 protocol enforcement on Tuesday. Commuters, however, remained unimpressed, saying there needs to be voluntary effort.

"The markings are a part of an awareness drive so that the fact that commuters need to maintain a safe distance from each other is hammered continuously, even while travelling onboard local trains. In addition to this, COVID awareness posters are also being posted in local rakes and at stations," Central Railway's chief public relations officer Shivaji Sutar said.
