Re# 5949915-1              
A. Why is railway bearing accommodation, food etc?
B. Is there any transparency in as to who will get boarding passes, or it will be people related to RSs only?
C. Why all zones have fixed 20 SL + 2UR CC in astha trains? Right now the minimum temperature goes around 5°C in Ayodhya, these people from peninsular India would suffer a lot in SL coaches because in the night these coaches are stone cold , don't think they will be able to bear a sudden temperature shift.

1) IR is not bearing fooding and accommodation cost, it will be levied by passengers who are travelling in Astha Special servcies.
2) Prices are decided by IRCTC, (these trains ticket will not be booked online and on counter it is sold be IRCTC separately) who will pay the price they can travel in these services.
3) Fooding, bedroll, etc. services provided in these trains by IRCTC, so the cold temperature problem is somehow will be managed. This service have 20 SL + 2 GS coach for normal public to travel to Ayodhya
