THIS IS THE WHOLE STORY !!!! Happened with me on 12/02/2012
Some BHARAT VIKAS GROUP COMPANIES ,is awarded with contract of cleaning train compartments...the cleaning man groomed the compartment and thrown all the plastic waste out of train in forest and crop fields..when i asked WHY? the guy said seniors never give us garbage bag for Non AC and keep them for AC COMPARTMENTS..whereas our instructional manual says us to fill Plastic and organic garbage in bags...I am in 11057 Amritsar Express ...
What i said to him is ,” if u throw such plastic on station at-least someone else will pick it whereas who will pick the plastic thrown in forest or fields..?”
When I inquired about TT or train guard, i have not found them, I went from S1 to S10 , few train staff told me TT is resting in AC Compartment, and no one knows the wear-about of train guard...I thought i will get the complaint book and register my grievances., but so far no results. I checked the procedure of filing complaint on the instruction poster in my compartment which is S1. See the Picture I clicked.
So when Train staff and few railway police men were unable to inform me the wear about of TT and Train Guard, I patiently waited for my Station, Ludhiana . I inquired about the topmost officer on Ludhiana Railway station to register my complaint on whole issue.
They directed me to Deputy Station Superintendent , where I filed my complaint. these Pictures are my hand written complaint.
while sharing with DSS, I asked him , “do AC compartments have dustbins” , he said “yes !!“ then I asked “do sleeper coaches have dustbin” he said “yes !!”
I said , I am traveling in India Railways since Childhood , but never seen dustbins in non AC Coaches , He said they are there beneath washbasin.
I invited him to come and board to any train with me right at that moment , as we both were on Railway Station Itself and let us do dudh ka dudh and pani ka pani . after observing my confidence he came on "maybe!!!" and sent me to his senior . The Senior was having lunch so clerk went inside and came with an answer “AC have dustbins and non AC do not “ smilingly .
I went again to the Deputy Station Superintendent and he patiently accepted his misjudgment. Then I asked him to return my complaint and add this suggestion alongwith , which he smartly refused ! I do not know his Intentions,
Before leaving his office I told him that , approx no. of passengers and size of compartment is same in AC and Non AC and since the inception of AC compartment, Indian railways provided them with dustbin and passengers in those compartments are aware of it.
Whereas in Non AC , because of unavailability of Dustbin , people are addicted with a habit of throwing garbage here or there or outside of train. I quoted him that " education se hi awareness aati hai janab "
Lets see , they told me that seniors will take action with in 10 days and a copy of action taken will be sent to me ... I hope they will listen and take action on this serious enviorvimental issue .
During same evening I thought to register my suggestion about Placing Dustbins ( beneath Non AC and General compartments ) which I missed in my hand written Complaint .
