[Resolved] Indian Railways — Bad coach condition | |
Would like to bring to your notice about a health issue we faced after travelling in Kanyakumari- Bangalore Express (16525). My daughter had severe skin infection due to an insect bite from the train. This has happened twice, once 4 weeks before due to bed bug bite and last week due to some poisonous insect bite. This time it was so severe that she ran through high temperature and had swollen wrists and legs. Both the time we traveled in second AC and I am wondering what will be the case with the general coaches. We are paying a good amount for second AC reservation and this is not the quality we would expect out of it. The coaches are very dirty and we often see rats running around. Also, every year, a huge amount is cut from my salary in the name of income tax. What is the purpose of me paying tax if Govt cant provide us good public transport facility. All we ask is quality faclity, not some hi-fi stuff. Was this information helpful? | |

Indian Railways — Worst Condition of compartment
Sir, I travelled by Train No. 5959 Kamrup Express from Howrah to New Jalpaiguri on 21.09.08. I travelled in AC 3 Tier in B2 compartment and the coach no. was 03113. At once when I entered in the toilet I felt why I booked in AC 3 Tier because the toilets of the Sleeper class was better. Also the the Staff of the did not switch ON the AC until the train started from Howrah. The coach provided was really a older one because the coach was not infested for a long time. Lot many cockroaches were found in the compartment. Along with us two foreign passengers travelled. Infact they were laughing at the condition of the coach and the toilet. If this kind of service we provide for the guests it will be a shame on our part. Kindly look into the matter to improve the situation.
