Passengers, please note: Free food is provided if the train is late, know what is the rule of the railways

Every day a large number of people travel by Indian trains. People travel from general coaches to AC coaches. There are many facilities available on the train which include toilets, comfortable seats, AC, etc. At the same time, as a passenger, you also have many rights which you should know about. For example, there is a rule in which if the train is late, then free food is given to the passengers by the railways. In such a situation, if you are also traveling by train, then it becomes necessary for you to know this rule. So let's know about this. Passengers can know about this in detail in the next slides...

What is the rule?

Actually, in winter, sometimes due to dense fog, and sometimes in other seasons, trains run late due to reasons like rain, etc. In such a situation, passengers have to stay on the train for more time, which also causes them problems. Keeping this in mind, Indian Railways has made arrangements to provide free food to the passengers when the train is late.

According to this rule of Railways, if you are traveling by a premium train like Rajdhani or Shatabdi and in such a case your train is delayed by 3 hours or more, then in such a case Indian Railways provides free food to the passengers. No fee is charged from the passengers for this. If this rule is not followed, then you can complain about it to the Railways.

These things are available in food:-
When the train is delayed by more than 3 hours, then the passengers are given biscuits, tea/coffee, milk cream pouch, breakfast, etc. It also includes a light breakfast and light food. If your train is late, then you should know about it and you can demand it from the officer present on the train.

This thing is also taken care of:-
If the train you are traveling in gets delayed for some reason, then in such a case the food stall present at the railway station is opened for a longer time (longer than the normal time). This is so that the passengers can get food and drink. Apart from this, additional RPF personnel are also deployed for the safety of the passengers so that the passengers do not face any problems.
