Vande Bharat Trains: There is big news for the passengers traveling in Vande Bharat trains. From now on, instead of one liter bottle of water, they will be given a Rail Neer bottle of half liter i.e. 500 ml while traveling in this train. Northern Railway has also issued a press release in this regard. Railways has also given the reason behind its decision.
Now you will get half liter water
In this information given to the public, it has been informed that all concerned are informed that in order to save wastage of precious drinking water, Railways has issued one Rail Neer Packaged Drinking Water (PDW) bottle of 500 ml to every passenger in all Vande Bharat trains. Have decided to give. Another Rail Neer PDW bottle of 500 ml will be given to passengers on demand without any extra charge.
What is the logic of Railways behind this decision?
Regarding water reduction in Vande Bharat trains, Railways' argument is that “some passengers do not consume water completely, this leads to wastage of water.” Although the provision of water up to 1 liter to railway passengers is still included in the train fare without charging any extra fee, but it has been divided into two parts. This means that now passengers will basically get a 500 ml bottle instead of 1 liter and on asking again, the passenger will get a free 500 ml bottle.
Railways should provide information to passengers
Although there is already a system of providing half liter water bottles in Shatabdi Express trains in the country, there is a difference in the operating timings of Vande Bharat and Shatabdi trains. Many Vande Bharat trains take at least 8 hours to travel and during this time half a liter of water may be consumed. Even if the railway passengers are not able to drink the entire water of 1 liter bottle, when they get 500 ml of water, they should also be informed that if they want to take half a liter of water then they can go to Vande Bharat trains. It will be given free of cost.
