Railways — ILL TREATMENT TO TRAINS

Address:

Khordha, Odisha

Sir,

I am travelling in Bhubaneswar Rajdhani Express at least once in a year for last five year. The train from and to Bhubaneswar comprises of old / rejected AC coaches. The aminities like seats, lights, Air conditioning and toilets are not upto the standard and no on is bothering to rectify / improve the aminities. The train used to be delayed in West Bengal deliberately, on asking why it show, the station master has ready reply there is no platform available on ahead station, however, other local passanger/express trains are passing by. Sir, as far as the India's first priority and highly paid train, this is really a ill treatment to the trains running to and from Odisha.

Recently, I had to board the train 2816 New Delhi-Puri SF Express on 04 Nov 10 from New Delhi. Train delayed in departure from its originating station due to technical delay. some how train started one hour delay from NDLS. The train was four hours late on arrival of Medinapur. The train was detained by station master for an hour only to pass some local trains. When I inquired about the delay, he stated the same store that there is no platform available at Kharagpur Rly station. One giving example how other trains are passing if there is no platform available, he avoided me and other passengers. He cleared the train, when he thought now the situation is not in control to reply passengers. Why sir, Why it is like this, can any one reply?

And I was travelling in AC3 Tier, where cleanliness was not at all being carried out. toilets were shavy and western toiled flush and seat was in broken conditions. Pathetic situation, I monitored sleeper class toilet adjacent to AC coach was comparatively good. Why? Did I paid less in compared to sleeper class or it is my mistake to board a train other than Rajdhani Express.

Please please for god shake do not make my state so down, as your commercial chart can show a good amount of passengers sincerely take tickets and maximum depends upon rail journey. Please Do the needful.
