NFR to provide 500 ml water in Vande Bharat trains for free

DIMAPUR — In line with the Indian Railways (IR), the Northeast Frontier Railway (NFR) has decided to provide 500 ml Rail Neer packaged drinking water (PWD) bottles to each passenger travelling in Vande Bharat trains.

This step has been adopted to reduce wastage of drinking water in trains during summer, said an update from NFR.

“In addition, an extra 500 ml bottle of water will also be provided to the passengers on demand without taking any extra charges if needed. Most passengers who have book tickets in Vande Bharat trains normally travel for short distances. So, 500 ml water bottles are mostly adequate and more convenient for the passengers during their short journey time,” read the update.
