expired food items sold at amul kiosk

Dear madam/sir, the amul kiosk located at platform no.4 has been selling expired food products that includes amul diary products as well. Please look into this issue as expired diary can harm consumers’ health and can make them sick for days together.

fans not working

I traveled in train no.16127 on 17.05.2018 in coach no. S3. Running time of that train is around 24 hours. One of the fan in my coach was not working. After my complaint to the ticket examiner, technicians attended at villupuram railway station. But unable to rectify the same. So all the passengers who traveled in s3 coach suffered a lot without fan and also sleepless night. Kindly look into the matter and compensate me suitably....

sitting at footsteps in local trains

Could you please take a necessary action to ensure no passenger is sitting at the entrance at peak hours. It may leads...
