Side Middle Berths and cleanliness

Side Middle Berth System

This is a total infringement on a human beings right to safe travel, as it is the Indian railway boggies are a death trap in case of accidents.

Now with the Side Middle berths railways has ensured that people wont get a chance to escape.

Have you tried sitting up or getting up in any of the side berths its not possible - without crrokingt your body in an uncomfortable way (not tgo mention the clasutropbic feelings)

There is no way a 6 foot person can get out of that seat in case of an emergency plus increased crowd without increase in facility and lack of luggage space which comes with this is totally inhumane, wonder what the so called opposition parties and human right organizations were doing when these kinds of inconvenience measures were being implemented.

Railways should

1) Immediately disband the use of these SMB and restore the Side Upper berth to its old specification (even in trains where SMB has been removed the SUB is left at the same height which is equally dis comfortable for tall people

2) Improve the facilities on the train especially toilets and cleanliness of the berths (last time I had the greatest misfortune of traveling from Orissa to Trivandrum by train and it is not an exaggeration when I say the berths were overflowing with cockroaches
