In view of the above, it is clarified that the above mentioned relaxations w.r.t. ‘transhipment of parcels’ were permitted only in the ‘COVID-19 Parcel special trains’, so as to maintain supply-chain of essential items throughout the country during the pandemic, and hence the same are not in effect in the present scenario.
