Indian Railway IRCTC News: Indian Railways has stopped giving sheets, pillows, blankets to passengers since March last year. Apart from this, the Railways had also stopped on-board cooking and only packaged food was being given to the passengers.


Railway is the most accessible medium of travel for crores of people of the country. Every day crores of people commute by railways and depend on it for their livelihood. There is a bad news for such travelers. This news is disappointing especially for those passengers traveling in long distance trains, who are waiting to get pillows, blankets, sheets etc. again.

Railway Minister said this in Lok Sabha

Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnav has recently informed the government’s plan in this regard in Parliament. In response to a question asked in the Loksabha, he said that the dangers of Covid-19 have not reduced yet. He said that the Indian Railways had stopped giving sheets, pillows, blankets etc. to the railways in view of the dangers of the epidemic. Since its dangers have not subsided yet, the railways is not going to start this service at the moment.

On-board cooking is also closed


Indian Railways has stopped giving sheets, pillows, blankets to passengers since March last year. Apart from this, the Railways had also stopped on-board cooking and only packaged food was being given to the passengers. Now on-board cooking has been started again in some premium trains, but passengers of most trains still have to work with packaged food.

The burden will continue to fall on the pockets of the passengers

At present, disposable bedroll kits are being provided to the passengers traveling in AC coaches. For this, passengers have to pay separately. From the latest reply of the Railway Minister, it has become clear that the passengers will still have to either carry sheets, pillows, blankets etc. on their own, or they will have to pay separately for this.
