Zee news:

Indian Railways Update: In a major comfort upgrade for train travellers, Southern Railway’s Chennai Division has announced that sleeper-class passengers in non-AC coaches will soon enjoy access to pillows and bed sheets onboard. Starting 1 January, passengers will be able to rent clean, mechanized-washed linens during their journey, ending the long-standing practice of carrying personal bedding.

The initiative, set to run for three years across ten express trains, marks a significant expansion of a service previously limited only to AC coaches. With affordable rental options, this move aims to ensure a more relaxed and hygienic travel experience, especially during the monsoon and winter seasons. 

Sleeper-class passengers in non-AC coaches will no longer need to carry pillows and bed sheets. Starting 1 January, Southern Railway’s Chennai Division will offer prompt onboard access to essential linen, making travel more comfortable for long-distance passengers.
