Clarification About Supply of Linen in Trains

Posted On: 23 MAR 2022 7:48PM by PIB Delhi

Some sections of the media have reported that Railway is not providing linen despite the withdrawal of restriction on linen with immediate effect.

It is informed for the guidance of all concerned that the supply of linen (Bed sheets, Blankets etc.) has been resumed by the Railways from the date the resumption of the same was notified. However, it is being done in a phased manner to ensure proper quality of linen. This is because a sizeable amount of fresh linen is being procured as a lot of old stock has become unserviceable in the last two COVID years. Railways is working overtime to bring the service back to 100% as it was in Pre-COVID times.
