Railways ‘wagon tragedy’ for Vande Bharat, passengers collapse

The Indian Railways' policy of stopping numerous trains to facilitate the smooth operation of Vande Bharat trains continues to cause significant inconvenience to passengers. This practice, despite widespread complaints and protests, has resulted in overcrowding and delays for other trains, including the Mangaluru-Nagercoil Parasuram Express, which was halted for 30 minutes...

at Thikkodi, leading to two female passengers collapsing due to the crowd and heat. Passengers on the Alappuzha route have protested by wearing badges stating 'Durithamee Yatra' (Journey of Hardship) to highlight their grievances. The railways claim that delays are due to maintenance, but passengers allege that trains like Intercity, Palaruvi, Rajdhani, and Ernad are deliberately delayed by up to 45 minutes to prioritize Vande Bharat. Further, the rescheduling of the Venad train has inconvenienced regular passengers, and trains like Kayamkulam Express, Jan Shatabdi, and Nagercoil-Kottayam passenger are also experiencing delays. The president of All Kerala Railway Passengers Association, K J Paul Manvettam, has stated that the delays are leading to overcrowding on other trains.

Vande Bharat train ke smooth journey ke liye, kai trains ko rokne ka railways ka act abhi bhi chal raha hai. Aurat aur bachcho se bhari hui trains ko rokne se, passengers ko bahut dikkat ho rahi hai. Mangaluru-Nagercoil Parasuram Express, jo ki bahut crowded thi, usko Thikkodi pe Vande...

Bharat ke liye aadhe ghanta ke liye rok diya gaya. Isme do female passengers, crowd aur high temperature ki wajah se, behosh ho gayi. Unko first aid dene ke baad Kozhikode railway station le jaaya gaya. Train, Thikkodi pe aadhe ghanta rukne ki wajah se, Kozhikode ek ghanta late pahuncha. Log complaint karne ke baad bhi, railway authorities kaanoon pe dhyaan nahi de rahe hain. Alappuzha route ke passengers ne, 'Durithamee Yatra' likhe hue badges pehan kar protest kiya. Passengers ka kehna hai ki railways Kerala ki important trains ko deliberately late kar rahe hain, taaki Vande Bharat jaise new trains time pe chale. Intercity, Palaruvi, Rajdhani aur Ernad jaise trains ko Vande Bharat ke liye 45 minutes tak delay kiya ja raha hai. Thiruvananthapuram mein passengers ne, Venad train ko 5.05 am se 5.25 am karne ke baad protest kiya. Kayamkulam Express, jo ki Ernakulam se 6.05 pm par chalta hai, usko recently 40 minutes delay hua hai. Jan Shatabdi aur Nagercoil-Kottayam passenger jaise trains bhi late chal rahe hain. Railways ka kehna hai ki trains maintenance ki wajah se late chal rahe hain.
