During this pandemic Covid-19 when the virus attacked the world vigorously it became very hard for every country to survive the pandemic. Everyone was requested to live at home to prevent getting infected by the virus. At this time when everything stopped even the Indian Railways which didn’t stop since it began, the only persons and buildings were doctors, nurses, ward boys, and other frontline medical workers and the medical care centers and hospitals working who even didn’t see their families for months and not only this some of them also lost their lives.
