Indian Railway Police — Forced entry of gents into ladies coach Malwa Express on 15.3.12 at Ludhiana

Address:

Ludhiana, Punjab

Sir,
My wife was travelling in ladies compartment of Malwa Express from Jammu Tawi to New Delhi on 15.3.12. On reaching at Ludhiana Railway Police personnel (two sardars) on duty at Ludhiana forced entry of gents into ladies coach by charging Rs 50/- per head. When my wife objected for this, police personnel said to my wife "why are you making noise as no one except you have any objection, sit on your seat quietly". On this my wife asked the lady police standing beside to remove the gents from the ladies compartment. The lady police however removed the gents once and slipped away immediately. The Sardar police personnel again forced gents into ladies coach by charging Rs 50/- per head from gents as such making the journey of ladies uncomfortable and insecure.

May I request the authorities concerned to take action against the defaulter police personnel of Ludhiana railway station. It is further requested that gents should not be allowed entry in ladies coach in any case (not even husband accompanying the wife). And if any gent found travelling in ladies coach in any way should be dealt severely.

Authorities concerned are requested to look into the matter seriously and ensure comfortable and smooth journey by ladies.

Thanks & regards
