@AakifR64293 Even 1 bad food in the train is their responsibility. What reputation when you can't do your work right!. We will raise our voice to any bad experience. To keep good reputation is in the authority hand. Don't put it on us. Do your work properly first.

@AakifR64293 Railway if they can't maintain hygiene and quality than they can just stop serving meals till they put their act together. Let passengers get/arrange their own food like in the past instead of getting sick.

@AakifR64293 They need to shutdown food service in IRCTC completely. Either tie up with local restaurants to do food delivery @ stations (already happening) or let branded restaurants handle food service on trains.

@AakifR64293 IRCTC has a dark pattern wherein food was selected by default - I saw this when booking for Vande Bharat. The snacks served is basically ultra processed junk and the food is OK at best. I now just opt-out of food from IRCTC.

@AakifR64293 There is RBI guideline, no deposit can be maintained for unutilised fund and should be refunded. My wallet in IRCTC is for over ten years, or even more haven’t travelled is unutilised and not refunded as there is no such facility provided to retrieve fund form the app.

@AakifR64293 If the 'Lailways' and IRCTC are so concerned over their reputation, why don't they do their job and rein in the caterers providing dismal services? Once their incompetence is exposed, they try to browbeat whistleblowers. But why be afraid of a legal notice?

From Delay to Crackdown: Lathi Charge and Phone Snatching Spark Outrage at bidadi railway station The Ashokapuram MEMU train was delayed for about an hour and a half, causing great inconvenience to passengers. The train was halted midway due to a technical glitch, leaving hundreds of passengers stranded and unable to reach their destinations on time. Frustrated by the delay, passengers staged a protest against the railway authorities at Bidadi Railway Station. Some protesters came down onto the tracks and shouted slogans, demanding an immediate alternative train. “It is unbearable that the train has not moved for one and a half hours. Students, employees, and women are in distress,” the passengers said. Railway officials stated that the train had been stopped due to a track issue and assured passengers that the problem would be resolved within half an hour, after which services would resume. During this time, a heated argument broke out between the passengers and the officials. As the situation escalated, a scuffle reportedly broke out between the police and the passengers. The Bidadi police arrived at the scene and carried out a mild lathi charge to disperse the protesters who had gathered on the tracks. In a video of the incident, police personnel were also seen allegedly trying to snatch a mobile phone from a passenger who was recording the events #bangalore #bengaluru #bidadi #railway RPF INDIA South Western Railway ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು ನಗರ ಪೊಲೀಸ್‌ BengaluruCityPolice CP Bengaluru ಪೊಲೀಸ್ ಆಯುಕ್ತ ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು Joint CP, Traffic, Bengaluru alok kumar DGP KARNATAKA ಕರ್ನಾಟಕ ರಾಜ್ಯ ಪೊಲೀಸ್ Karnataka State Police S.

Public Health Issue Alert 🚨 Travelling on Vande Bharat today (Allahabad → Delhi) and yesterday was travelling on Rajdhani (Delhi → Allahabad), I was served rotis/kachoris heated directly inside sealed plastic packaging. While at Rajdhani, I was hungry and so ate the hot Kachori almost instantly and then realised - wait, how can it be hot? Wasn’t it in a sealed packet? How could they heat the packet directly? Then this repeated today and I couldn’t stop myself from inquiring - The “Halka Phulka” roti packet clearly states: • “Store in a cool & dry place” • No mention of microwave/heating in-pack • No “microwave safe” indication Yet the packets are handed over visibly hot. Lakhs of passengers can verify this - the rotis are served warm with the plastic pack heated. The person in the train confirmed that rotis were being heated directly in the packet. Food-grade plastic is not automatically heat-safe unless certified for microwave/steam use. Heating multilayer packaging without clear instructions can potentially increase chemical migration into food - especially when done repeatedly at scale. This may be operational convenience. But food safety should never rely on shortcuts. Requesting IRCTC Ministry of Railways Ashwini Vaishnaw to clarify: - Are these institutional packs certified for in-pack heating? - If so, can that certification be publicly shared? - Is this happening on all trains? 🚆 - Who has authorised this? Passenger safety deserves application of mind - not just efficiency. Just to make the passengers that IRCTC is serving hot food, how can such a careless thing be done - playing with the health of lakhs of people who are eating this food? The last thing we want is blame game buck to be passed between IRCTC FSSAI - Ministry of Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution will say that it is Railways’ mistake. Railway minister will say it is the third party vendor who has been given the tender - it’s their mistake. Third party vendor will find someone at the lowest in the ladder like the gentleman in this video who admitted that they were heated in microwave, to fix the blame on - while fixing NO Accountability of the damage already done and NO Responsibility for what’s to come. Action / Clarification on this ought to be issued from the Railway Ministry. Corrective Measures need to be announced immediately. #railways #VandeBharat #HotFoodScam

🚨 Woman Harassed on a Moving Train: Serious Questions About RailMadad’s Emergency Response On August 30, a woman was travelling on the 8:30 PM Vanchinad Express from Thiruvalla towards Ernakulam South. When the train reached Kottayam, a man who appeared to be heavily intoxicated and not fully in his senses boarded the train. After noticing the woman, he deliberately came and sat close to her. He then began leaning towards her, making her uncomfortable. She moved away and changed her seat to maintain some distance from him. However, the man followed her and repeatedly attempted to touch and hold her leg. He tried to do this two or three times. When he attempted it for the third time, the incident was recorded on video and his hand was stopped. An emergency complaint was immediately raised through the RailMadad app. However, the response was that there were reportedly no railway staff, police officers, or RPF personnel available between Kottayam and Ernakulam Junction, making immediate intervention difficult. She was informed that assistance could be sent from Ernakulam South if required. Afterwards, the man got down at Mulanturutty station, where he continued to harass and intimidate the woman before eventually leaving the station. The bigger concern: What happens when an emergency occurs inside a moving train? If a passenger especially a woman is being harassed or feels unsafe inside a moving train, assistance should be available while the train is in transit, not only after it reaches a particular station. If a passenger uses RailMadad to report an emergency, the expectation is that the complaint will trigger a prompt and effective response. Being told that no railway, police, or RPF personnel are available between two stations raises serious concerns about passenger safety. Railway authorities should urgently review this system and ensure that genuine emergency complaints made through RailMadad receive timely assistance, including appropriate intervention by railway security personnel at the earliest possible opportunity. Passenger safety must not depend on how far the train is from the next station. Women and all passengers deserve to feel safe and protected throughout their journey.

Hyderabad-based paediatrician Sivaranjani Santosh, whose eight-year battle led to a key regulatory shift on ORS labelling, is now facing legal trouble after pharma majors issued a notice accusing her of making false, misleading, disparaging and defamatory remarks about their products. The development comes after the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI), in an order issued in October 2025, stated that no food brand may use the term ‘Oral Rehydration Salts’ or ‘ORS’ unless the formulation strictly adheres to standards recommended by the World Health Organisation (WHO). A cease and desist notice dated March 16 alleges that Dr. Santosh made defamatory statements on social media about products, including ORSL and its rebranded version ERZL. The notice states that the companies are science-based and compliant with the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006, and asserts that their claims are backed by scientific evidence and regulatory approvals. Referring to ongoing regulatory and legal developments, the notice cites proceedings before the Delhi High Court, stating that the court had observed that the products in question were ‘not adulterated or unsafe for use’ and that the dispute was limited to branding aspects. The notice denies claims that erstwhile ORSL products continue to be sold or that ERZL is being marketed as an ORS substitute, stating that distributors have been instructed to return or relabel older stock in compliance with FSSAI directions. The companies have demanded that Dr. Santosh immediately remove all allegedly defamatory posts, refrain from making further statements against them or their products, and avoid unauthorised use of their trademarks. Responding through her Instagram page, Dr. Sivaranjani defended her position and questioned the legal notice. She said her position was consistent with and supported by the FSSAI orders issued on October 14 and 15, 2025 and added that the Delhi High Court had refused to grant a stay. She argued that presenting ERZL as a new form of ORSL would violate the regulatory directive and could confuse parents who previously associated ORSL with ORS.

To The General Manager North Eastern Railway Gorakhpur, Uttar Pradesh **Subject: Urgent request for permanent solution to water logging at Chhapra Junction** Respected Sir/Madam, I would like to draw your kind attention towards the serious water logging problem at Chhapra Junction, especially during the monsoon season. Chhapra Junction is a very important railway station and a lifeline for thousands of passengers travelling between Bihar and several major metropolitan cities across the country. Every day, a large number of passengers depend on this railway junction for their journey to cities such as Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata and other major destinations. The recurring water logging at the station and its surrounding areas causes significant inconvenience to passengers. It also creates difficulties for elderly people, women, children and passengers carrying luggage. Prolonged accumulation of water can further create sanitation and safety concerns. I therefore request the concerned railway authorities to kindly conduct an immediate inspection of the drainage and water disposal system at Chhapra Junction and take necessary corrective measures. A permanent solution should be developed so that the problem does not continue every monsoon. Chhapra Junction is an important connectivity point for the people of Bihar and deserves proper passenger infrastructure and effective monsoon management. I sincerely request the Indian Railways to take this matter on priority and ensure that passengers are provided with a safe, clean and accessible railway station throughout the monsoon season. Thank you for your attention and prompt action. **Yours faithfully** A concerned citizen . CC to Ministry of Railways Ashwini Vaishnaw

“I’m a Railway Employee Do Whatever You Want!”: Arrogant Smoker Flouts Train Rules, Endangers Passengers A man was seen smoking a cigarette inside a train, which is clearly a violation of railway rules and basic public safety. When a co-passenger politely questioned him and asked him not to smoke, the man responded in an arrogant and threatening manner, saying, “I am a railway employee do whatever you want.”This kind of attitude is deeply disturbing. Just because someone claims to be a railway employee does not give them the right to break the law or endanger the health and safety of other passengers. Smoking inside a train is not only illegal but also harmful, especially to children, elderly passengers, and those with respiratory problems who are forced to inhale the smoke.If anything, a railway employee should be an example of discipline and responsibility, not someone who misuses their position to intimidate others. Such behaviour reflects a complete lack of civic sense and respect for fellow passengers. Public transport belongs to everyone, and no individual employee or not is above the rules.Authorities must take strict action against such misconduct and send a clear message that arrogance and abuse of power will not be tolerated. Rules exist for a reason, and respecting them is the minimum expected from anyone travelling on public transport. #bangalore #bengaluru #railway #IndianRailways #smoking Ministry of Railways Ashwini Vaishnaw South Western Railway ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು ನಗರ ಪೊಲೀಸ್‌ BengaluruCityPolice ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು ಸಂಚಾರ ಪೊಲೀಸ್ BengaluruTrafficPolice alok kumar CP Bengaluru ಪೊಲೀಸ್ ಆಯುಕ್ತ ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು Joint CP, Traffic, Bengaluru DGP KARNATAKA ಕರ್ನಾಟಕ ರಾಜ್ಯ ಪೊಲೀಸ್ Karnataka State Police S.
