Ballari Jn - Look around and enjoy the station. A sacred place where Mahatma Gandhi once spent 8 hours. - Vishwanath Joshi

Sir this is not reality of IR, this is reality of NR and yhis problem is only with NR.
This Thursday I was at Raipur junction as my brother was travelling to NDLS by rajdhani and I wad totally shocked.
2hrs was not completed till the train left from bilaspur and when it reaches Raipur the toilet in A2 coach was stinking very bad.

train has 9 ac-3 tier coaches.
Except BE-1 all 8 coaches have minimum 5-6 window glasses broken and the crack and broken areas was covered with tape.
I have travelled in chennai rajdhani and I became fan of lhb coaches.
Whole time I was praising this lhb coaches in front of my brother and as soon as the train arrived Raipur after seeing the condition of this train my brother was like " iss kachre ki tareef kar rahe the tum...isse better to icf coaches the atleast maintenance achi hoti thi unki ".
He generally used to travel by sampark kranti but this time bcoz of my insistence he travelled by this train and was really disappointed.
I was fan of this train in its icf time but after it received lhb coaches I have started hating this train.
The only thing NR was supposed to do was to allot a new lhb rake to this train but NR is unfair to this train from starting, but it doesn't matter now coz I also shifted from rajdhani to sampark kranti.
Chattisgarh sampark kranti is really better than this train eithers uts cleanliness, punctuality or priority.
