New Delhi: The Indian Railways has cut short sleeping hours to its commuters between 10 pm to 6 am hereafter.
The railways passed a circular on August 31 which states the new timings to resolve the quarrel between the passengers that took place due to some of the oversleeping passengers on the middle and lower berths by reducing official sleeping hours.
Until now, time allotted for sleeping was between 9 p.m. and 6 a.m.
“Sleeping accommodation between 2200 hours and 0600 hours and sitting accommodation for the rest of the period is provided for the passengers in the reserved coaches having sleeping accommodation,” said the circular.
However, the circular makes an exemption for certain passengers. “Passengers are, however, requested to cooperate with the sick, persons with disability, and pregnant ladies in case they want to sleep beyond permissible limits,” the circular further read.
