JE News Desk: The Indian Railway has been receiving criticism after a video of Avantika Express running between Mumbai-Indore, showing water leaking from the roof went viral. In the video, it can be that the water is leaking from the roof of a passenger train coach.

Taking to Twitter, Congress also shared a video criticising Rialways for poor condition. "I wish some work would have been done for the Railways instead of empty propaganda. The railway minister who shows the flag is currently abroad, the named railway minister should pay attention," Congress wrote.

Twitter Reaction

Mahila Congress working president Netta D'Souza tweeted, "Who is responsible for the plight of Indian Railways?".

"A VB train which is expensive than usual and cater to a small percentage of ppl is sign of progress that is not urgent. India needs existing trains to be run efficiently than high speed semi-luxury trains," a Twitter user commented on a video shared by Congress.

"It is not BJP's rail or Congress rail. We must understand development means removing short comings. Why railway engineers do not check themselves each coach on some statistical way and fix problems. Why upsc exam is required to appointment railway engineers. Ask railway when they," another user named Sujay Bhattacharya wrote.

"There is a bigger plight than this and scams worth crores are taking place daily in the railway bed sheet supply chain. Seventy per cent of the used sheets are folded back and crores of rupees are being diverted from the fake washing bills, but everyone is silent after getting their share," Madhav Krishnaa Daga said.

What Western Railway Said

Responding to the matter, the Railway said all the coaches of Avantika Express have been thoroughly checked and the train started its return journey.

"All coaches of Avantika Exp have been checked thoroughly & issue has been attended to promptly. The train has commenced its return journey & there are no such issues now. Passenger convenience is of utmost priority & WR leaves no stone unturned to resolve passengers' grievances," Western Railway tweeted.
