In a video shared by twitter user Vaidy Voice, a railways official can be seen explaining that many passengers used to feel discomfort while sleeping on a side-lower berth due to the uneven gap when the seats were felled.
To mitigate that the railways has introduced a cushioned side-board which can be placed on the felled berth. This not only provides a continuous and smooth surface for passengers to sleep on but it also provides more surface area than the legacy berths.
It should be noted that passengers travelling in AC Two Tier have over the years complained against same fares being charged for normal and side berths considering the latter do not provide any extra space or comfort despite the higher costs.
Introducing ElectionsHQ + 50 Ground Reports Project
The 2024 elections might seem easy to guess, but there are some important questions that shouldn't be missed.
Do freebies still sway voters? Do people prioritise infrastructure when voting? How will Punjab vote?
The answers to these questions provide great insights into where we, as a country, are headed in the years to come.
Swarajya is starting a project with an aim to do 50 solid ground stories and a smart commentary service on WhatsApp, a one-of-a-kind. We'd love your support during this election season.
