What new passenger-friendly initiative has Indian Railways introduced regarding train chart preparation notifications?
Reservation slips will now include the exact time of chart preparationIndian Railways has introduced a new initiative where reservation slips will now specify the exact time when the final reservation chart will be prepared for each train. This change aims to eliminate confusion, especially for passengers with waitlisted tickets traveling on trains scheduled before 2 pm. Previously, charts were prepared the previous evening but without a fixed time, causing uncertainty. Now, passengers will receive the charting time via SMS, email, or on the ticket slip. This follows the recent shift from four-hour to eight-hour advance charting, both part of ongoing efforts under Railways Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw to enhance passenger convenience and transparency in the booking system.
