IRCTC General Ticket update : If you too are traveling by train, there is a good news for you. Now the general category passengers will get special facilities from the railways.
Passengers traveling in general coaches have to suffer a lot in summer. Now the railway has received a letter to solve the problem of the passengers, after which the railway has taken a big decision. Let’s see what facilities passengers in general coaches will get from now.
These facilities will be available
During the summer holidays, the number of people traveling by train is significant. So considering the increasing number of passengers, the Railway Board has written to all the zones and directed to ensure all the basic facilities in the general coaches. The railway board has issued this letter after the photo of huge crowd in the general coach of the railway went viral on social media.
What did the letter say?
The letter written by Railway Board Member (Operations and Business Development) Jaya Verma Sinha has asked the general managers of railway zones to ensure basic amenities for passengers traveling in trains, especially in general coaches.
There are no basic facilities either
General coaches are located at the front and rear ends of all mail and express trains. Therefore, they face difficulties in getting basic facilities like drinking water and food on the platforms of many stations.
These facilities will be available
The Board has directed the General Managers of all Railway Zones to arrange affordable food, drinking water and vending trolleys near unreserved coaches at every stop of trains. Apart from this, instructions have also been given to ensure cleanliness of general coaches at designated stations to improve the quality of this service.
