Indian Railways is Winning Hearts
Oct 01, 2019
It feels so good when someone goes beyond their duty to help anyone. In today’s time hardly anybody cares about others pain but few are still there who prove that humanity is alive. Recently a man named Sashwat from Varanasi posted a tweet regarding his concern for his mother Shila Pandey who was traveling on Ajmer–Sealdah Express. As the train was 12 hours late so he was not able to contact her and was anxious to know if she was “alright”.
The man tagged not only the official handles of the railway ministry but also Union Railway Minister Piyush Goyal in his tweet to draw attention to the passenger who was travelling in coach S5 on the train.
Sir, I am unable to contact my mother Mrs.Shila Pandey. She is travelling in Ajmer-SDAH Express 12988 with starting date 28-09-2019 in Coach S5, the train is running late by 12 hours. Sir, please help me know if she is there alright.@PiyushGoyal@PiyushGoyalOffc @RailMinIndia

The Railway immediately responded him and asked for the PNR number and the contact number of the person.
Kindly share PNR & contact number.

Tagging DRM Asansol in West Bengal, the handle replied, “Matter is being forwarded to the concerned official.”
After sometime, DRM Asansol got in touch with the ticket checker in the train and made the passenger talk to her son.

Commendable indeed! Indian Railways has become immensely proactive in the last five years. Now, commuters can swiftly resolve issues by approaching the authorities directly...and get results. @PiyushGoyalOffc @PiyushGoyal and @RailMinIndia take a bow! Thanks! https://t.co/bRmc6u45IV
