The Railway Protection Force (RPF) in Basti has registered an FIR under Section 145 of the Railway Act against unidentified individuals for their role in the vandalism.

Passengers Vandalize Antyodaya Express at Basti Station Over Locked Doors

The Railway Protection Force (RPF) in Basti has registered an FIR under Section 145 of the Railway Act against unidentified individuals for their role in the vandalism.

In a dramatic incident late Tuesday night, enraged passengers waiting to board the Mumbai-bound Antyodaya Express (15101) at Basti railway station resorted to vandalism after finding the coach doors locked. Videos of the incident, which have gone viral on social media, capture the chaos as one individual used a heavy stone to smash the glass panel of the train&rsquo;s entry door, while others dismantled the iron grill of a window to climb into the coach.

The Railway Protection Force (RPF) in Basti has registered an FIR under Section 145 of the Railway Act against unidentified individuals for their role in the vandalism.
According to railway officials, the train was severely overcrowded, prompting passengers already inside to bolt the doors from within to prevent more people from boarding. This infuriated those waiting at the station, leading to a violent outburst. "A youth shattered the glass of the entry door, and others broke the iron grill of a window to gain access," an official source said.
The incident occurred around 10:30 p.m. and was followed by another video surfacing from Mankapur railway station later that night. The footage shows an RPF constable helping an elderly woman board the overcrowded train, highlighting the chaos passengers faced.
Chandra Mohan Mishra, Senior Divisional Security Commissioner of Northeastern Railway, confirmed that authorities have CCTV footage of the vandalism and are working to identify the perpetrators. "Our teams are trying to track down those involved," he said.
Despite the severity of the incident, no arrests have been made so far.
The Antyodaya Express, which runs between Chhapra and Mumbai, has been a lifeline for many passengers travelling long distances, but the incident underscores the challenges posed by overcrowded trains.
As the investigation continues, railway authorities will likely face questions about overcrowding and safety measures to prevent such incidents in the future.

Indian Railways is reducing its advance reservation period from 120 days to just 60 days

If you're someone who loves planning train trips months in advance, get ready to switch gears!
The Indian Railways is pulling the brakes on long-term planning by slashing its advance reservation period from 120 days to... drumroll please... 60 days!.
Starting November 1, 2024, you'll only be able to book your tickets 60 days before your journey date.
So, whether it&rsquo;s a last-minute getaway or spontaneous vacation vibes, the window to grab your tickets is getting shorter!
But wait&mdash;here's a quick heads up!If you've already made bookings under the current 120-day window before October 31, 2024, no need to worry&mdash;those are safe and sound.
&ldquo;With effect from November 1, the advance reservation period (ARP) will be 60 days (excluding the day of journey), and bookings will be processed accordingly. However, all bookings made up to October 31 under the previous ARP of 120 days will remain intact. Cancellations of bookings made beyond the 60-day ARP will be permitted,&rdquo; the order stated.

An Indian Railways engineer was told to transfer to Delhi 3 days before his scheduled retirement.

‘Sheer madness’: Railway engineer transferred 3 days before retirement

An Indian Railways engineer was asked to report to Delhi for a new posting 3 days before his scheduled retirement.

"Sheer madness," responded a senior engineer to the Railway Board when it ordered his transfer from Bilaspur in Chhattisgarh to Delhi three days before his retirement.
The chief communication engineer from the Bilaspur division of South East Central Railway (SECR) has written to the Railway Board terming his transfer to the Northern Railway (NR) zone three days before his retirement an act of harassment.
According to the transfer order, KP Arya is supposed to join the NR on a higher administrative grade post on November 28, 2023, while his retirement is due on November 30.
"This order seems well in order at the surface, but when seen in the complete perspective of my imminent superannuation within a week on 30th Nov 2023, the madness shines brightly," Arya said in a letter addressed to the Secretary, Railway Board.
He added, "Because this is nothing but sheer madness only to transfer one employee, who has served the IR (Indian Railway) organisation his whole life, in the week of his superannuation so that his superannuation settlement gets disrupted and he gets harassed in the last days in the organisation." Arya told PTI that the SECR zone already had a vacant HAG post, still, the Railway Board decided to transfer him to the NR zone on a similar vacant post.
"I will work only for three days in NR headquarters, New Delhi and retire from the Indian Railways. The Railways will pay me about Rs 3 lakh just as transfer money which is a complete waste of public money," Arya told PTI.
Though this is a promotional transfer, Arya will not get any additional monetary benefit. "My promotion was due about six months ago but it was kept pending. However, as per the government norms, I started getting monetary benefits for that post from the day my promotion was due. So, this promotional transfer is only to harass me." The engineer in his letter alleged, "In the series of harassment being meted out to me, a professionally very very competent, honest and upright officer by a cabal of officials of dubious character &hellip; I found it my duty to expose the concerned Railway Board officials as I have always done."
