The Indian Railways said it has been decided to reserve a few berths in every coach of Vikramshila Superfast Express and Bhagalpur Garib Rath train for women passengers. The berths in each coach of these trains will be reserved for women passengers around all classes.
In these two trains, the new reservation of berths for women will be implemented from January next year.
For women passengers in long distance trains, Union Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw had made announcement on reserved berths, earlier this month. Vaishnaw had said that to ensure comfortable and safe travel of women passengers in long distance trains, Indian Railways has allotted special berths for women and several other facilities.
Six berths in 3AC class of Garib Rath, Rajdhani, Duronto and Fully AC Express trains and the same number of berths in sleeper class of long distance Mail and Express trains will be reserved for women, according to his statement.
In a few trains including Rajdhani, Humsafar Express and Duronto Superfast trains, the Indian Railways had earlier implemented reservation of berths for women. The Indian Railways said the facility will be available for the safety and security of women passengers in these trains leaving from Bhagalpur for Surat, Dadar and other cities.
