luggage prov isions is all the same allowance of 40 kg whether you travel in Garib rath or rajdhani for 3AC. it does not make any difference. if you have more, you have to pay extra in the station and take receipt, else no problem at all. if you need bed roll set, kindly contact the coach attendant after boarding hte train and inform your berth number. refreshment/snacks/tea/ etc are provided during journey. lunch/dinner is served on order. generllay ok food - do not expect home quality food, but its ok.
GR is cheaper than all other concessions for a normal passenger and most people have many myths about GR. its the best value for money. have a nice and pleasant

as such there is no official announcement by IR. but if you can and possible then postpone your journey. specially if you are going to long route e.g MAS to delhi. Bandh can impact on long route train strating 4th night and 5th morning. but on 5th night it will not be any problem

    These days, every other day, we are getting requests from members to allow email login to their FB-based IRI account. 10 years ago, we had given the option for users to login through FaceBook - in retrospect, this was a mistake. These days, apparently, users are quitting FaceBook in droves because...
