railway board has instructed all zones to ensure bedrolls are provided to passengers before train departure. Previously, bedrolls were supposed to be provided within 30 minutes of departure, but this often didn't happen due to absent coach attendants. Additionally, 20,000 pillows and covers have been replaced, and a new agency has been appointed for bedroll distribution. A coach attendant will now be present in each AC coach, and supervisors have been assigned for monitoring. However, construction work in Bina Junction will affect eight train services between April and May. This includes cancellations of some trains and changes to halting points at Bina station for others. The affected train numbers and routes are listed below.
