 Review on Indian Railways by santulan - MouthShut.com
In Rajdhani express, there is provision of two bottles (2 liters) only, for duration of 24-30 hours of journey.
The service level provided in Rajdhani express should be above these small issues especially when a considerable amount is deducted in the name of providing “quality meals”.
I understand that this is a small issue and can be resolved by issuing a fresh circular to Rajdhani Express staff to provide sufficient water and meals to the passengers.
