Man wins Rs 60,000 from Railways for 317-minute train delay

Man wins Rs 60,000 from Railways for 317-minute train delay

A man took a train called the KBJ Ispat Express, but the train arrived at its destination more than five hours late.

He was very upset about the long wait.

He complained to a special court called a consumer commission in Jharkhand.

This court helps people when they get bad service.

The commission looked at his complaint and agreed with him.

It said the railway company did not serve him well by being so late.

The commission said the delay caused the man harassment and mental pain.

The railway could not explain why the train was late.

So the commission told South Eastern Railway to pay the man Rs 60,000 as compensation.

Now the railway must give him that money because of the delay.
