Supreme Court orders Railways to insure counter-booked tickets from October 27

The Supreme Court has directed the Railways to extend insurance cover to tickets bought at reservation counters from 27 October.
The facility is currently available only to passengers who book online and pay a small extra amount.
The court said this matters most for poorer passengers, who usually buy their tickets at the counter.
It warned that the Railway Board will be held directly responsible if the direction is not carried out.
