Health issues
Air-conditioning systems in Indian Railways promote growth and spread of microorganisms, such as Legionella pneumophila, the infectious agent responsible for Legionnaires' disease, or thermophilic actinomycetes; however, this is prevalent in poorly maintained water cooling system. The cooling system is not kept clean. (usually by means of a chlorine treatment).
Conversely, air conditioning (including filtration, humidification, cooling and disinfection) is not used to provide a clean, safe, hypoallergenic atmosphere in railway compartments and other environments where an appropriate atmosphere is critical to Passanger's safety and well-being.
Excessive air conditioning has negative effect on skin, drying it out, and has caused dehydration.
E) The train reached Belgavi Railway Station 25 minutes late. I understand that this train is always late.
I will be obliged if any reader can guide me to make Indian Railways implement the clean environment and clean - hygienic air-conditioning system.
Sincerely,
Milind M. Dhume

Mr. Kishor, thank you for being concerned about my health & advice - how to take care of oneself when traveling in an AC Coach.
You seem to have completely lost the point I was making. I reiterate that the cleanliness in the Indian Railways is one of the worst. I had asked "if any reader can guide me to make Indian Railways implement the clean environment and clean - hygienic air-conditioning system."
I request you to please take this blog more seriously.
Sincerely,
