Railways enquires cost of deploying housekeeping staff on Vande Bharat
The Ministry of Railways has asked the Northern and East Central Zones to provide the financial implications of adopting a comprehensive on-board housekeeping service, including on Vande Bharat trains.
The ministry wrote back to general managers of both the zones on November 20, 2025, after they requested a standardised deployment policy for On-Board Housekeeping Services (OBHS) staff in Vande Bharat trains to provide a clean and comfortable travel environment for passengers.
