A Kerala Consumer Court has ordered Southern Railway to pay Rs 52,500 to five passengers who missed their temple pilgrimage due to a train delay. The court criticized the Railway’s service and emphasized the need for public transport improvements. The delay was not justified, and the passengers deserved compensation for their distress.
The Madras High Court asked Southern Railway (SR) to consider the possibility of granting leave to its employees on case to case basis to vote for the Lok Sabha election on April 19.
