Wake-Up Call By Indian Railways
With this facility, passengers will now be notified before arriving at their destination by the Indian Railways. They can sleep peacefully without the stress of thinking about when to wake up and get off the train. This ‘wake-up call’ will alert the long-distance passengers 20 minutes prior to arriving at the station.
Earlier, this is a huge concern for passengers travelling at night and now they do not have to worry about missing the station anymore.
The passengers can presently use this facility from 11 P, to 7 AM.
