AND SAVE RAIL PASSENGER LIVES AND RAIL PROPERTY. more

While we talk rail safety, I thought to add something which we passengers encourage the most. Dear Citizens I request you to go through this files which I have send to the ministry in a seperate email. Please please please discourage non-irctc vendors and bring it to the notice of the TT on board. You will also see how the catering contrator CCI conveniently loaded only 24 bottles of water for a total passenger strength of 1400. This only tells that the Catering contractor is hand in glove with Non-irctc vendors. https://we.tl/5KH9Dac9ps ttps://we.tl/Jpm9hmB4pR Regards more
