‘Clogged toilet’: Man who bought Vande Bharat ticket claims another train arrived

A passenger who bought a ticket for Vande Bharat train claims that he was shocked to see another train arrive instead. This one, apparently Tejas Express, had clogged toilets and "worst service", the passenger complained on Twitter tagging Indian Railways and Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw.

Sharing the shocking visual, passenger Sidhharth Pandey wrote, "Was excited to board first time on Vande Bharat. But was shocked to see another train in the name of Vande Bharat. Washrooms are pathetic and services are worst. Still charged fare as per actual Vande Bharat."

The incident happened on June 10, he added.

In a separate tweet, Pandey said that the train that arrived instead of Vande Bharat was Tejas Express. Train number 22439, as shared by Pandey, runs from New Delhi station and to Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Katra in Jammu.

Responding to the tweet, Railway Seva -- the official Twitter account to help railway passengers -- wrote that the incident was escalated to the concerned officer.
