Old, Dirty Train Coaches Provided to BSF Troops: Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw Suspends 4 Officials, Orders Probe

  • Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw suspended four officials today after an unsuitable and old train carrying BSF personnel arrived at Udaipur station, Tripura.
  • The suspension followed strong BSF protests and inspections that revealed seven major defects, including broken interiors, cockroach infestation, and filthy berths in the train made available on June 9.
  • The poor train condition delayed the deployment of about 1,200 troops from 13 companies for security duty during the Amarnath Yatra starting July 3, causing public outrage on social media.
  • Railway officials acknowledged that the damaged coaches had been incorrectly attached during maintenance and assured they would be replaced promptly, while the minister emphasized that ensuring the respect and well-being of security personnel is a top priority.
  • The Ministry of Railways ordered a detailed inquiry and arranged a new special train exclusively for BSF personnel to ensure proper facilities and prevent similar issues in future deployments.
