Railways withdraws restriction on provision of linen, blankets and curtains inside trains

Railways have amended the restricted SOP and have decided to allow linen and blankets to passengers.

New Delhi: In view of Pandemic and Covid Protocol due to Covid-19, Standard Operating Protocol (SOP) for Movement of passengers by trains was issued which imposed the restriction on linen, blankets and curtains inside trains.

Railways have now decided to withdraw the above restriction with regard to supply of linen, blankets and curtains inside the train with immediate effect and the same may be provided as per applicability during Pre-Covid period.

This comes as a big relief for the regular passengers, who were finding it difficult to manage without linen and blankets even inside airconditioned coaches.
