A commuter escaped unhurt after the ceiling of a 3AC coach of the iconic 26-year-old Matsyagandha Express train fell on his head. Commuter associations have lamented the pitiable condition of the train, calling for its upgradation and replacement.
“Recently, I was travelling from Mumbai to Mangalore on Matsyagandha Express and for a comfortable journey I bought a 3AC ticket. During the journey, I got down at Chiplun station to get biscuits and water and as I entered the coach again, the ceiling sheets in the passage of the train fell over my head. I quickly ducked and was saved by a few inches. The sheets could have hurt my head badly, had I not ducked in time,” passenger Chinmay Kole said.
