Indian Railway: Many passengers have to face cold during AC class travel in Indian Railways, especially late at night. In view of this, passengers often demand extra blankets (Extra-Blanket-in-Train). However, it is important to know that according to the rules of the Railways, blankets are provided to each passenger as per his ticket.

PNR status and blanket arrangement

If you have two tickets on your PNR and only one of them is confirmed, then also you can demand additional blankets (Additional-Blanket-for-Passengers) for the other passenger. According to the rules of the Railways, even if the second berth is RAC or waiting, there is a provision for getting a blanket.

What do the rules of the Railways say?

According to the Railways, if it is cold during the journey and a passenger has a confirmed ticket, then he can be given additional blankets (Requesting-Extra-Blankets) as per the requirement. There is no extra charge for this, provided the coach attendant has sufficient blankets available.

What to do if blanket is not available?

If the attendant does not give you an extra blanket even though he has one, you can call the railway helpline number 138 or complain through SMS to 91-9717680982. Apart from this, you can also get your problem resolved by tweeting to @RailMinIndia on Twitter.

Passenger facility and railway responsibility

Railways always strive for the convenience and comfort of passengers. If you are facing inconvenience during the journey, you have full right to ask for help as per the rules of the railway.
