Passenger uproar in Puri-Durg Express over poor AC coach facilities; railway ‘silent’

Passengers travelling in the AC coach of the Puri-Durg train created a commotion after being allegedly provided with dirty bed sheets on Sunday. Complaints were also raised about cockroaches moving across the compartment, adding to the discomfort of those on board. The situation caused widespread dissatisfaction among travellers, who voiced their grievances openly.

Alongside the issue of unclean bedding and pest infestation, passengers further alleged that the toilets had no water. The lack of basic facilities prompted strong criticism, as many passengers said they were unable to use the toilets during the journey.

AC Failure Leads to Protest

Matters escalated when the air conditioning system in the coach was not switched on, leaving passengers to endure unbearable heat. The rising discomfort led to loud protests within the train, as frustrated passengers demanded immediate redressal.
