Indian Railways Introduce ‘Baby Berth’
On Mothers' Day February 8 , the Indian Railways introduced a separate ‘Baby Berth’ (seats for newly-born children) in trains .
The lower berths already reserved for women have been placed next to baby berths so that young children can travel with their mother without any inconvenience.
At present these new berths meant for young children have been installed in some trains on a trial basis. According to official information, two berths have been added in the Lucknow Mail going from Lucknow to New Delhi. The Railways will not charge any extra fare for the seat meant for infants.
The Railways tweeted “Facilitating ease of travel for mothers travelling with their babies. Indian Railways introduced baby berth on experimental basis in Lucknow Mail 12229/30, Coach No. 194129/B4, berth No. 12 & 60. The fitted baby berth is foldable & secured with a stopper”.
