Mah Uttar Bharatiya Ekta Manch seeks probe into alleged corruption in Pune Railway Division

Pune, Nov 10 (UNI) The Maharashtrian Uttar Bharatiya Ekta Manch has sought a high-level inquiry into alleged corruption and irregularities in the Pune Railway Division, warning of an agitation if strict action is not taken.
In a complaint submitted to union Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw, organisation founder and representative Sangeeta Tiwari highlighted alleged black marketing of railway tickets during Chhath Puja, overcharging for drinking water, bribery in vehicle transportation, poor-quality food and suspected irregularities in vehicle rental contracts for senior officials.
The complaint alleges that railway tickets meant for passengers travelling to Uttar Pradesh and Bihar are being sold at inflated prices through touts operating near Pune railway station.
It also raises concerns over packaged drinking water allegedly being sold above the prescribed rates and passengers being supplied unhygienic food.
The organisation further alleged that vehicle owners transporting two-wheelers to Uttar Pradesh and Madhya Pradesh are being harassed and allegedly forced to pay bribes ranging from Rs 5,000 to Rs 10,000 to complete transportation formalities.
The complaint has also questioned the reported monthly rental of Rs 72,000 to Rs 75,000 for a luxury vehicle allegedly hired for Pune RPF Commissioner Priyanka Sharma.
It has demanded scrutiny of the tender process, vehicle ownership and payment records. The forum has sought a joint investigation by the Railway Vigilance Department, RPF, GRP and Pune Police, along with an audit of ticket reservation records, catering contracts and vehicle rental tenders.
Tiwari has demanded a time-bound inquiry and a written report on the action taken. The organisation warned that it would launch a democratic protest along with affected passengers and workers if the railway administration failed to act.
