Railways are the most important means of transport in present day and Indian Railways is the third largest railway network in the world comprising 119,630 kilometers of total track and 92,081 km of running track over a route of 66,687 km with 7,216 stations at the end of 2015-16. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

In 2017-2018, the national transporter earned Rs 50,000 crore from passenger fare, an increase of Rs 2,551 crore over 2016-2017. The number of passengers travelling<\/g> in trains has increased from 8219.38 million in 2016-2017 to 8267.32 million in 2017-2018. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These huge numbers of passengers travel through rail\nroutes because they are provided a cheap and convenient mode of transport by\nrailways. But with this convenient mode of transport passengers are getting a\nbitter experience nowadays, aren\u2019t they?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They are facing the rodent and insect nuisance during there long travel journey via railways and following are the pieces of evidence:<\/g><\/p>\n\n\n\n

AGRA: Sana screamed and her heart skipped a beat or two when she noticed a rodent, as fat as a rabbit, gnawing at her half-eaten cheese sandwich in a first class AC waiting room at Agra Cantonment railway station.   <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Not only leftovers, the fat\nrodents also nibble at cables and wires of the trains, bringing them to a halt\nand leading to del<\/strong>ays. While spotting of pests\nin cooked food of railway canteen \nis  a common phenomenon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking to TOI, SK\nSrivastava, assistant commercial manager of Agra division said, \u201cThe current\nservice of pest and rodent control will terminate soon. Therefore, the railway\nis issuing new tender of Rs 24 lakh for next four years of service.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Srivastava also talked about\nthe damages that the rodents are causing. \u201cRodent nibble at train berths,\nelectrical cables, luggage of passengers<\/strong>. Apart from that, we also receive\ncomplaints of pest problem in train coaches. So, to maintain hygiene, we\noutsource pest and rodent control service.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Southern\nRailway to pay Rs 27,350 for rat damaging bag on train<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chennai:<\/strong> A city consumer forum has directed Southern Railway to pay a\ncompensation of Rs 27,350 to a passenger whose suitcase was damaged by a\nrodent.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The passenger has the below words to say about his\nexperience on rodents in railways: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On reaching the destination, Devadas found his Samsonite suitcase was cut open in the bottom for almost 6 inches by rats during the travel.  \u201cI purchased the suitcase for Rs 12,600 only recently. And, due to lack of maintenance of the compartments the rats caused damages to the suitcase\u201d, he said.  <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

There are many more complaints regarding the pest\nnuisance faced by passengers. Why do pest create such a nuisance in railways?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I will tell you why!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Railways are the attractive points to rodents and\ncockroaches. There are many reasons for this but let me tell you few. There is\navailability of large amount of food for eg. left-over food by passengers, open\ndustbins, pantry areas, etc. Next the railways provide a natural habitat for\nrodents and insects to survive. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rodents gnaw over the bags of passengers because they\nget attract to them. Rodents have two pairs of incisors growing throughout\ntheir life. They need to gnaw continuously in order to keep them in shape.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>
\n

Insects like bedbugs and cockroaches also create a great nuisance leading passengers for having sleepless nights. The number of insects goes on increasing rapidly within a suitable environment they get in railways. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The polymeric applications like wires and cables also attract rodents\ndue to their bright colors, odor and smooth texture. They gnaw at this\napplications and lead to power failure which can lead to a disaster further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>
\n

The wood and sunmica sheets applied all over\nthe railway interiors attract termites. Termites are the most destructive pest.\nThey also gnaw over the polymeric applications. The formic acid produce by them\ncan dissolve hardest of the plastic.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Do you think railways are taking effective steps to stop this nuisance?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pest control techniques used by railways have proven to be ineffective.\nPesticides are the hazardous and toxic to animals as well as humans. The\npesticides are used in the railways weekly and sometimes monthly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Though railways are trying to defend against pests but they need to find\nout a perfect and effective solution knowing the reasons how destructive the\npests are and resulting damage is so horrible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
