New Delhi: The Indian Railways has resumed booking of Tatkal tickets for all 230 special trains from June 29.

Tatkal bookings were done on Monday for trains starting from Tuesday. Tatkal tickets are booked a day before the train journey after 10 am for AC seats and after 11 am for sleeper class seats.

The service was suspended in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Railways had also stopped running passenger, mail and express trains during the nationwide lockdown from March 25.
