New Delhi:
Good news has come out for the passengers traveling by train. Many significant decisions have been taken by the Indian Railways keeping in mind the convenience of the passengers.
Now passengers taking general tickets can also travel in sleeper class. The Railways have taken this decision in view of the severe cold.
Due to this decision of Railways, the elderly and the poor will get a lot of benefits, and it will make it easier for these people to travel.
Passengers will be benefited from this decision of Railways
The Railway Board has asked the administration of all the divisions to send the details of all the trains running with less than 80 percent passengers in sleeper coaches.
Railways are considering converting all those sleeper coaches into general ones. Passengers are going to get a lot of benefits from this decision of the Railways.
In the winter season, most passengers prefer to travel by AC coach instead of sleeper coach. For this reason, the number of passengers in the sleeper coach is decreasing.
80 percent of seats vacant in sleeper coach
Along with this, the Railways has taken a decision to increase the number of AC coaches. Due to the winter season, up to 80 percent of the seats in the sleeper coach remain vacant.
For this reason, this decision has been taken by the Railway Department.
Apart from this, the number of people traveling by general ticket is also increasing significantly. In view of this, Railways has decided to give the status of the general coach to the sleeper coach.
