Railways Ensures Lower Berths for Elderly Women Over 45 and Enhanced Disabled Access

• Railways automatically assigns lower berths to senior citizens and women over 45 if available, even if not selected during booking.
• Specific numbers of lower berths are reserved in Sleeper, Third AC, and Second AC coaches for elderly, women over 45, and pregnant women.
• Indian Railways provides reserved berths/seats and enhanced accessibility features for disabled passengers, including widened doors, accessible washrooms, and Braille signboards.
• Train accidents have been reduced by 90% due to the indigenous 'Kavach' technology, which automatically stops trains in danger.
• Indian Railways' punctuality has reached 80% nationwide, surpassing Germany's Deutsche Bahn.

Why It Matters: Railways prioritize comfort, safety, and accessibility for elderly, women, and disabled passengers.
