The Railway Ministry has reiterated its directive to provide linen and blankets to passengers travelling on Reservation Against Cancellation status after receiving repeated complaints from almost all zones.

Under the RAC system, two passengers are accommodated on a single berth.

"Complaints regarding the non-provision or inadequate provision of bedroll kits to RAC passengers are still being received through various channels," the Ministry said in a letter dated August 4.

It added, "In view of the above, it is reiterated that the Railway Board's instructions must be strictly followed to ensure that every RAC passenger travelling in AC coaches (except AC Chair Car) is provided with a complete bedroll kit at par with other bona fide passengers travelling in the coach."
