The Supreme Court of India has directed Indian Railways to extend travel insurance coverage to passengers purchasing tickets at offline counters. This new mandate, effective from October 27, aims to eliminate the existing disparity between digital and physical booking methods. By providing consistent financial protection for all travelers, the initiative ensures that every passenger benefits from equal welfare services regardless of how they purchase their rail tickets.
