Railways ordered to extend insurance cover to counter tickets
Original: insurance
India's Supreme Court has directed the Railways to mandatorily extend travel insurance coverage to passengers holding counter tickets, effective October 27. The ruling closes a gap in which online bookings included insurance while tickets bought at stations did not. The order is being closely watched as it affects millions of daily rail travellers and strengthens passenger protection at no extra choice required.
Why now: The Supreme Court ruling has immediate practical impact on millions of Indian railway passengers.
