The Indian Railways announced to resume blankets and linens services to travellers in AC coaches now. The service is notably being resumed after a 2-year hiatus due to the pandemic. The provision was first suspended in 2020, under the COVID-19 Management Protocols of the Indian Railways, to break the chain of coronavirus infection. However, with the pandemic fading now, the service has been resumed with immediate effect.
