Navratri has started. Many people observe fast during Navratri and take special care of cleanliness. Especially when you travel by trains in Navratri, it is a bit difficult, because there is no arrangement for the people who are fasting for food and drink in the train. However, now fasting thali is being provided for such passengers by the Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC).
