Even as Central Railway (CR) began implementing the QR code ticket system at 15 stations on Thursday, Divisional Railway Manager Shalabh Goel said they are also prepared to begin local train services and are only waiting for the government's directives to come.

"We need to understand that the state government sends a request to the railway ministry which then conveys it to the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA). MHA then assesses the situation and takes a call, only after which a decision on train movement is taken," he said.
