Kolkata: In response to a #video-complaint posted on #socialmedia by a concerned citizen, highlighting the irresponsible disposal of #garbage from the #pantry car of Avadh Assam Express on 11th July, the Divisional Railway Manager (#DRM) #Tinsukia swiftly took decisive action.

Upon receiving the #complaint, the #DRM of Tinsukia Division, responsible for the #maintenance and #operational integrity of the #AvadhAssamExpress, promptly coordinated with the #IndianRailway Catering and Tourism Corporation (#IRCTC) to levy a significant fine of ₹15,000 against the #licensee involved. Additionally, a stern warning was issued to ensure strict adherence to #cleanliness protocols on all trains.

Furthermore, in a collaborative effort with the Railway Protection Force (#RPF) of the #EastCentralRailway (#ECR), where the incident occurred, swift action was taken to identify and apprehend the contractual staff responsible for this misconduct.
