suggestion for covid 19

As per govt advice more than 5peoples should not form a group or join a group. Better idea to keep everyone to stay alone and alert.. Close the reservation halls in omni bus ticket booking counter.. Close waiting halls in railway station and bus stand.. That can we.. Only reach the spot...

I commute to office by train from chennai - guindy to chengelpet. I am a woman and used to take first class ticket just to use cushion seat. Since i am a patient, i cannot sit on wooden seat for continuous 2 hours. But unfortunately, all the ladies seat present in first class are wooden seats. General seats with cushion are mostly occupied by men are we are forced to use wooden seats. Then why are we even paying 5 times more money to use...

Respected sir/madam,
The steps (In tamil we say as 'padi') from alandur side and the railway station subway by walk from alandur to st thomas mount railway station is always stagnant with water (Even when no rain) and plenty of litters (Kuppai).
The lighting facility also very poor.
Please take necessary action as soon as possible.
Thank you
Regards...

no ticket checking in I class / unhygienic stations

Address: Chennai, Tamil Nadu

Hi

It is a pathetic state to get into 1st class everyday inspite of paying additional cost for the tickets. I travel everyday from chindadripet to thiruvanmiyur. Vendors and people with other class tickets get into the first class compartment and sit all over the floor and occupy seats. Why is rpf so haphazard in allowing this but are very prompt in levying penalty for parking and other petty things.

Moreover...
