Ranchi Rail Division is charging more money from railway passengers in the name of better facilities, but is not able to solve their problems. AC and sleeper coaches of many trains are full of cockroaches. The condition has become such that people are getting worried during the journey. Dr. Deeksha Sinha, who was traveling in seat number 28 of AC coach B-5 of train number 18615 (Howrah-Ranchi Kriyoga Express), informed the Railways about the problems being faced by the coach by tweeting.
On which DRM re-tweeted and said to take action. On the other hand, Mrinal Wadher, who was traveling by train number 22838 Ernakulam-Hatia train three days ago, tweeted and informed the railway minister and DRM about the problems caused by cockroaches. The traveler says that even after spending so much money, the cockroaches caused trouble throughout the night. Due to cockroaches, other passengers could neither eat food in the train nor sleep at night. Cockroaches entered the bags of many passengers.
