Passengers of the first special Rajdhani Express train gathered at Mumbai Central station since morning even though the train is set to depart at 5:30 pm on Tuesday. All passengers underwent thermal screened for temperature from distance before they were allowed to enter the train. However, as per the video fooatge sourced by mid-day,  the passengers shockingly were not maintaing social distancing and every seat on the train had been booked, without vacant berths.
