HYDERABAD: Four years after an agonising train ride, a railway passenger was awarded Rs 5,000 compensation for faulty air-conditioning by the Kakinada consumer commission which also asked the South Central Railway (SCR) to return the fare of Rs 1,540 and pay Rs 2,000 towards litigation cost.
Dwara Mahadev (63), an advocate and a resident of Kakinada, filed the complaint against the general manager, SCR, Secunderabad, alleging that their bogie (B-8) in Coconada Express was in a bad condition and that the AC was not functioning. Mahadev along with his wife had travelled to Kakinada from Secunderabad on May 11, 2018.
