Dear Sir,

Unhygienic and dirty ladies compartment full of cockroaches

Train no: T83 from Howrah to Tarakeswar

I am a student of Presidency college (B.Sc1st yr) and travel daily from Serampore to Howrah. While traveling on 20.04.09 in the above mentioned train unfortunately I found numerous cockroaches everywhere in the ladies compartment crawling and flying making it so hard for the passengers to even sit or stand in the train. It’s a shame to state, but they were so many in numbers, even more than the no. of passengers. I am afraid to travel for the cockroaches. I feel you would consider the matter seriously.

In the circumstances, I beg you to take some action to clean and disinfect the train compartments if any system therein to make it comfortable for the passengers to travel.

Yours faithfully,

Ishita Chakrabarti
