It is my observation that the bed spreads, blankets and pillows provided in the AC compartments of the trains to and fro to Bangalore are not washed and ironed properly. They are just folded and kept in fresh brown paper covers and given to the travellers.
This has been my experience during my journeys from Nagpur to Bangalore (Sampark Kranti, 3 AC), Bangalore to Shimoga ( 1st AC , Shimoga Express), Shimoga to Bangalore (3AC).
It was obvious that I was given a used bedsheet and when i asked the attendant he said this was what was available and refused to give fresh ones.
It should be insisted that travellers will and can expect neat washed bedding when we pay more than 3 times the sleeper class cost.
Request the attention of concerned authorities into the matter
