An inquiry has also been ordered. The minister said such negligence would not be tolerated. The NFR initially denied the allegations, posting on X, “The allegation that BSF was provided such kind of coach for travel is incorrect. Coaches are provided for travel only after necessary maintenance, repairs and cleaning.”When the BSF personnel arrived to board the train on June 10, they found the coaches in “unhygienic” condition. The videos they recorded went viral and sparked a public outcry.The Modi government faced a barrage of criticism. Congress spokesperson Shama Mohamed said, “This is what happens when the government’s entire focus is on PR for a few flashy trains, while the masses are forced to travel like animals. Shame on @narendramodi and @AshwiniVaishnaw for providing a filthy train – full of dirt, cockroaches, and broken seats – for our BSF soldiers heading for Amarnath Yatra duty”.
