SC Urges Indian Railways to Drop 'Second-Class Passenger' Term

The Supreme Court of India has asked Indian Railways to stop using the term 'second-class passenger' because it is old-fashioned and unfair.

The court said passengers should not be labeled in a way that makes them seem less important.

Instead, only the train coaches should be classified.

The court also said that Indian Railways needs to do more to stop trains from being too crowded, which can be dangerous.

This came up in a case where a man died after falling from an overcrowded train.

The court gave money to his family and said that public places like trains should treat everyone equally and with respect.

The court's suggestions are not rules, but they are important and will likely help shape future railway policies.
