Indian Railways is introducing various benefits and announcements for passenger convenience. Accordingly, Indian Railways has taken important steps to make travel clean and comfortable for passengers. Amidst growing concerns among passengers about the quality and cleanliness of blankets and blankets provided on trains, the Railways has announced the introduction of modern technologies such as UV robotic cleaning.

Accordingly, blankets will now be ultraviolet cleaned after each trip. Northern Railway Chief Public Relations Officer Himanshu Shekhar Upadhyay said, “Now the blankets in Jammu and Dibrugarh Rajdhani trains are cleaned through a UV robotic cleaning process after each round trip. This process is considered very effective in removing bacteria and germs from blankets.

The Railways has said that the cleaning of bedsheets, blankets, and pillows used in trains is done after each use, especially in machine laundries. This process is fully monitored by CCTV cameras. Regular checks are also carried out by the authorities. Blankets are provided on the train only after they have been cleaned and tested for passengers.”
