Indian Railways
Halting train held on non-platform line

Dear sir (s),

I am a regular commuter between Vejendla and Vijayawada stations. I use to travel by Trai No. 439 Tirupati - Guntur Passenger to reach Vejendla Railway Station. The train is scheduled to reach Vejendla at 02.36 a.m. It is scheduled to have a crossing with an non-halting express train at Vejendla Railway Station 5 days a week. Platform is located at mainline at this railway station. Looplines doesnot have platforms.

Onduty station master at Vejendla Railway station frequently takes the passenger on nonplatform (loop) lines to give line clear to Express train on main line. The area between loop lines is filled with grass and bushes, where movement of harmful insects and snakes is routine. In addition, there are no lighting arrangements provided. I am facing lot of inconvenience in nights to get down there and to reach mainline (High-level) platform by crossing railway track as there is no foot over bridge.

The issue was taken manytimes to the notice of Station Superindent. But, there is no response.

As the railways have to provide minumum amenities to the passengers at railway stations, and they fail to do so, I would like to fail a case in consumer forum againt the Station Superindent/Vejendla and Section Controller/Guntur for the inconvenience caused to me.
