Passengers were given new brand blue colour soft and cosy blankets, as well as new pillows and white bedsheets. 

 

The restoration of linen service in Mumbai CSMT Hazrat Nizamuddin Rajdhani express and commended the quality of linen, but remarked it would be too excellent if they were notified well in advance about the restoration of linen services in this train. "I was unaware that linen services would be resumed on this train starting today, so I brought my bedding, which increased the weight of my luggage," said a senior citizen who boarded from Mumbai CSMT, adding that it was a positive step.

 

To limit the spread of Covid-19 during the pandemic, former Railway Minister Piyush Goyal decided to stop providing blankets, bedsheets, linen, and curtains in AC carriages on all Indian Railways trains.
