[Resolved]  Indian Railways — Poor Facility causing death

Address:

Uttar Pradesh

It is the matter of shame for Indian Railways that one of our luxurious train doesn't even have some necessary things like Oxygen cylinder. I was travelling on Swarn Shatabdi(train no 2003) on sunday i.e. 11th may 2010 from Kanpur to New Delhi a guy died in the train just because of poor facility and slow response of the train staff. A guy travelling in seat number 35 of coach C-7 died as he had a heart stroke and there was nothing which the train staff did to save him. Doctors travelling in the train tried to save him but due to insufficient resources they were not able to just because the train staff took so long time to react. He could have been saved if there would have been atleast an oxygen cylinder. Moreover, when complained regarding the issue to TTE he refused to give the complaint book. It was a shamefull moment for all of poeple travelling in train as we couldn't do anything. The poeple who fight for us and our country get such a treatment, the name of the person died was T. V. Gopakumar and he was a flight leuitinent in Indian Air Force. My only concern is that there should be suffucient resources in trains in this kind of emergencies. I would request Indian Railways to take some strict actions against the train staff available in that train and provide trains with such necessary first aid things like oxygen cylinder.
