The ceiling of a 3-AC coach on the Mumbai LTT-Mangaluru Central Matsyagandha Express fell in Chiplun, Maharashtra. A passenger narrowly avoided injury. This incident has prompted the MP of Udupi-Chikkamagaluru, Kota Srinivas Poojary, to reiterate his demand for replacing the train's old ICF rake with newer LHB coaches. The MP...

has expressed concern about the train's poor maintenance and the potential dangers posed to passengers due to the age of the coaches. He has also noted the Southern Railway's delays in replacing the coaches despite repeated requests.

Mumbai LTT se Mangaluru Central jaane wali Matsyagandha Express mein, Chiplun mein, ek 3-AC coach ka ceiling gir gaya. Ek passenger barely bach gaya. Is incident ke baad, Udupi-Chikkamagaluru ke MP, Kota Srinivas Poojary ne fir se demand ki hai ki train ke purane ICF rake ko naye LHB coaches se...

Rail Users Demand Replacement of Outdated Coaches on Matsyagandha Express

Passengers on the Matsyagandha Express (12619/20) are demanding the replacement of its 25-year-old ICF coaches with modern LHB coaches. A recent viral video highlighting the train's deteriorating condition has intensified the call for action. Despite repeated requests from politicians and public grievances, Southern Railway has yet to replace the coaches. The...

train's historical significance, inaugurated by former Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee on the day Konkan Railway was dedicated to the nation, adds weight to the demand for modernization. Railway officials have reportedly assured the replacement of the coaches, but the exact timeline remains unclear. The Matsyagandha Express, launched on May 1, 1998, holds a special place in railway history.

Matsyagandha Express (12619/20) pe chalne waale passengers 25 saal purane ICF coaches ko badal ke modern LHB coaches laane ki maang kar rahe hain. Train ki kharab halat dikhaane wala ek viral video aaya hai, jiske baad ye maang aur zor se uth rahi hai. MPs, MLAs aur logon ki...

shikayaton ke bawjood, Southern Railway abhi tak purane coaches ko nahin badal paya. Train ka historical significance, jaise ki ye train Atal Bihari Vajpayee ji ne Konkan Railway ko dedicated kiye jaane ke din launch kiya tha, is maang ko aur bhi mazboot banata hai. Railway officials ne reportedly coaches badalne ka waada kiya hai, lekin time frame abhi tak clear nahin hai. Matsyagandha Express, jisko May 1, 1998 pe PM Vajpayee aur Railway Minister George Fernandes ne flag off kiya tha, ek khaas train hai.
