"Train number 12510, from Guwahati to Bengaluru… just another journey, until one small incident caught everyone’s attention,"
"In the sleeper coach, a vendor was moving from seat to seat, selling fruit cakes as if everything was normal,"
"A passenger picked up a packet, checked the MRP — ₹40 — and was about to pay,"
"But the vendor stopped him and said, ‘It will be ₹50, sir,’"
"The passenger paused and calmly asked, ‘The MRP is ₹40… why ₹50?’"
"The vendor replied without hesitation, ‘Sir, I delivered it to your seat, there’s a ₹10 service charge,’"
"And that’s where things got interesting,"
"The passenger responded firmly, ‘I’ll only pay ₹40… and I need a bill,’"
"The vendor changed his tone, sounding a bit emotional, ‘Sir, we have families to feed… we have to charge a little extra,’"
"But the passenger didn’t budge, ‘You’re already paid for this job… this extra charge is illegal. If needed, I’ll file a complaint with IRCTC,’"
"The vendor just smiled and said, ‘Tell whoever you want… we always charge ₹50,’"
"The rest of the coach stayed silent, but everyone was listening,"
"No one spoke up… maybe because this has now become ‘normal,’"
"But the real question is — has MRP become just a number printed on the packet?"
"This isn’t about ₹10… it’s about accountability in the system,"
"If this continues, overcharging in the name of ‘service’ will become routine,"
"It’s time for strict action… otherwise even those who raise their voice will eventually fall silent,"
Guwahati's main arteries face massive friction during peak hours. Rickshaws and Push-carts (Thelas) significantly reduce the PCU (Passenger Car Unit) capacity of 2-lane & 3-lane roads like GS Road and AT Road.
Urging @GhtyTrafficPol to implement a Time-Segregated Access Rule: Restrict non-motorized slow vehicles on main roads during office hours (8:00–11:00 AM & 5:00–8:00 PM).
