Stinking Blankets, Bed Rolls Make Passengers Sick
Train Halted For 30 Mins To Provide Medical Aid
Lucknow: The Lucknow-Varanasi Krishak Express (15008) was halted for a brief period of 30 minutes in order to attend to three passengers who complained of nausea caused by stinking blankets and bed rolls provided by the railways. The passengers in the AC B5 coach of the train, a 70-year-old man and two women, were given stinking bedrolls and blankets and the stench of the used blankets was such that they felt nauseous and even got sick.
These three passengers, who had boarded the train at Lucknow’s Charbagh railway station, were attended to by a team of railway doctors at the Badshahnagar station where the train was stopped for 30 minutes for a medical emergency.
North Eastern Railway (NER) says, After the passengers complained to the supervisor, the blankets and bedrolls were immediately changed. However, the passengers felt sick and complained of vomiting. Therefore, the train was stopped at Badshahnagar station for nearly 30 minutes.
