Earlier, passengers travelling in AC classes with RAC tickets were not given bedrolls though bedroll charges were included in their fares.

Sleeper class passengers in the non-stop Duronto express will be provided bedrolls on demand, the railway ministry said in a statement.

Each passenger will be charged Rs.25 additionally for the service.

"We have planned this facility just in Duronto for time being but later on the the bedroll facility for sleeper class will be extended to other long distance trains as well," a railway official said.
