Konkan Railway — Ignorance of women safety

Address:

Raigad, Maharashtra

Dear Konkan Railway Authority, I am writing to you in connection with the train journey of Mandovi Express as on 01/03/2015 Sunday. The train was supposed to reached by 7:25 P.M. to Panvel, but was delayed and reached on 02/03/2015 by 3:00 A.M. I am boarding in ladies coach at Chiplun and face below problems, 1) Train holt at Roha station for more than 2 hours and than at Kasu station for few hours. 2) No one from Konkan railway staff or from RPF is came and check about ladies safety. 3) No one inform about the reason of delay. 4) In our coach few ladies travelled with small kids which including new born baby (12 days baby) and two kids who is below two years old and three childlerns who is below 8 years old and few elder women's. 5) Its not possible for us to collect food and water from outside because train is not stopped on platform. 6) No water available in washroom. 7) Also, ladies who boarded before Chiplun are not able to co-operate, they are not shifted and make place for us. In more than 10 hours of our journey we have to seat on the floor of a train. Request you to provide separate ladies coach for Chiplun. Hope Konkan railway authority will think and take certain actions on ladies safety and keep women fell secure during travelling. Regards, Konkan Railway Passenger.
