Now, trains will ban prickly blankets; Railways will provide blanket covers with Sanganeri print.

According to Union Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnav, until now, blankets were provided on trains without covers. Passengers were often concerned about whether the blankets were clean or not.

Passengers traveling in AC coaches often complain about blankets. Sometimes, they complain about the blankets being dirty, and sometimes, the prickly feeling of the blankets bothers passengers. To alleviate these problems, the Railways has taken a significant step, providing blankets with covers featuring Jaipur's famous Sanganeri print. This initiative began with the AC coach of the Jaipur-Asarwa (Ahmedabad) train. Let's explore the benefits of this initiative.

Sanganeri print covers will be used on train blankets.

According to Union Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnav, until now, blankets were provided without covers on trains. Passengers were often concerned about whether the blankets were clean. To address this issue, the Railways have introduced blanket covers. These covers feature Jaipur's beautiful Sanganeri print, which not only looks beautiful but also keeps the blankets clean and safe. This initiative is currently a pilot project. If successful, it will be implemented on trains across the country.

The focus was on these things.

According to reports, two things were considered when creating the blanket covers. First, it was necessary to create a cover that would last a long time. Second, it was necessary to make it easy to wash, and the print would not fade. The Sanganeri print is particularly durable and retains its shine even after repeated washing. These covers will not only keep the blankets clean but also provide comfort to travelers.

New facilities will be available at railway stations.

In addition to blanket covers, the Railways have taken several important steps to provide passenger amenities. The Railway Minister inaugurated new facilities at 65 railway stations. These include signage, full-length platforms, and other amenities at smaller stations. The Railways' goal is to ensure that even smaller stations provide passengers with the same amenities as larger stations. 

This is the plan of the railway

North Western Railway PRO Shashi Kiran stated that the railway is renovating 77 stations under the Amrit Bharat Station Scheme at a cost of ₹4,000 crore. Five of these stations are fully completed, and work is progressing rapidly on the remaining stations. New platforms, tracks, and electrification are being constructed at stations like Jaipur, Gandhinagar, and Khatipura. Work is also progressing rapidly at other stations.
