[Resolved]  Indian Railways — No security for lady passengers in 1st class compartments of local trains.

I am a daily traveler on the Lonavla - Pune local train route. I and my fellow lady comuters have noticed on a daily bases that
1. Persons with improper tickets or no tickets boarding the 1st class compartments of the local trains.
2. That female and male railway employees (sweeper class, peons, people who work on the railway lines etc. )travel in this compartment.
3. We have also had the pleasure of traveling with a dead body in the compartment placed by the railway or police staff.
4. Ticket checkers are few and far in between. They are so soft they they request the improper ticket holders to alight from the train. Male Ticket checkers do not dare to enter the ladies compartment.
5. Bonafied pass holders are insulted by these passengers daily.
6. To what age are male and female students not holding first class passes allowed to travel in the first class compartment of a train?

We pay a princly sum of Rs.800/- per month to purchase a pass from Lonavla to Pune. Our complaints have fallen on deaf ears to all station masters and police(rpf and Grpf). My last resort was to make this complaint to you as I was threatened by another lady passenger after she alighted at Dehu Road with her slippers.

My Railway Pass Number is 48724417 my ID card number is 407692

I request you to please look into the mattere and take necessary action
