Authorities blame commuters as increasing number of local train compartments splattered with excreta, urine and used condoms
"At CST, I went to lodge a complaint with the stationmaster.
As he was not present in his cabin, I informed a ticket collector, who assured me that he would get someone to clean the mess. A few moments later, the train left the platform with the mess still on it."
Similarly, on July 24, last year, commuters who boarded the ladies' compartment of the 9.27 pm Dadar-Virar fast local, had to cope with overpowering stench from condoms filled with urine that hung from the handrails and window grills of the first-class compartment. Eight more condoms were strewn on the seats.
A K Singh, PRO of Central Railway, said, "It is commuters who do such things in the compartments. If anyone sees something like this happening, they should immediately call our helpline.
Railway officials at the next station will rush to their assistance."
