Government officials inspect the facilities in the newly arrived coach. “We have received first such coach and we would get the second one very soon. These coaches are equipped with all sorts of comfort facilities and promise to deliver more than what the Railways currently offers even on executive and first-class coaches that are attached to trains like Shatabdi and Rajdhani,” Bhakar said.
