The service will start at Bandra Terminus and Surat Railway station shortly. The sanitisation will be done by passing luggage through the UV rays tunnel.

As an inaugural offer, rates for sanitisation will be Rs. 10 for each baggage while sanitisation and wrapping both will cost Rs.50. Photo Courtesy: Western Railways
