Kicked off on 4th March 2014, the idea of the campaign by Nishant, who works in a travel company’s corporate communications department and runs a youth organisation called MUSE, is to decongest Mumbai local trains and save people from falling off.

With the harvest festival just around the corner, the Southern Railway is all set to gift its passengers on the Chennai-Bengaluru-Mysore Shatabdi a gift of indulgence and comfort by adding two new luxury coaches to its existing fleet.

In a move to help passengers travel safely late night after the New Year's Eve celebrations, Railway authorities in each of the Tier One cities have decided to run special trains with extended time periods than usual.

According to WR chief public relations officer Ravinder Bhakar, the new system enables transparency and feedback from the commuters will be rendered utmost priority.

This circular was issued by DK Gayen, head of the Human Resources department for the Indian Railways. It mandated that random surprise checks be conducted by inspectors of Personnel department and the sub-departments to review and list the names of unauthorised absentees.

The rationale behind the Western Railways’ move of introducing these disposable, eco-friendly hand towels and pillow covers for the third Rajdhani passengers is to not only tackle complaints related to hygiene but also save money due to the numerous towel theft cases on train journeys.

Landing closer to compartments reserved for women, the Churchgate-facing staircase, which connects platforms 8 and 9 to the south foot-over-bridge, has been picked.

The loco pilot, RP Meena, was steering the train into Churchgate station, when he saw a dog on the tracks.

Under the first phase, the clinics will be set up at major stations like Andheri, Churchgate, Mumbai Central and Bandra, and will slowly expand to all 24 stations on the Western Railway line.

Railway Minister Suresh Prabhu as well as Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis were among those at the meeting where the decision was made.
