A report on Indian Railways has raised concerns around the hygiene and cleanliness of one of the biggest transporters of the world. Lakhs of passengers commute using Indian Railways on a daily basis and any lapse in cleanliness can be a bigger threat.
In an RTI response to The New Indian Express, the Ministry of Railways said the linen provided to passengers is washed after each use but the wool blankets are to be washed “at least once a month, preferably twice in a month, subject to available capacity and logistics arrangements”.
