Indian Railways Provides Two Bed Sheets in AC Coaches
Indian Railways gives two bed sheets to passengers in AC coaches.
One sheet is for the sleeper seat, and the other is used under the blanket to keep it clean.
This helps keep passengers comfortable and healthy.
The blankets are washed after each use, and the bed sheets are washed after every journey.
Indian Railways also uses special cameras and machines to check the cleanliness of the linen.
They are also testing new blanket covers on some trains to make things even better.
