Great work bro.. Jai Hind
Hi Friends,

This is regarding our national flag being in a bad state on the locomotive of a train.

I had raised a complaint on Twitter regarding the sad state of our national...

flag on the loco of TVC Rajdhani Express WDP-4D 40101 from ERS shed. I had also raised a complaint on RailMadad for the same.
They sent me a response saying that the issue will be resolved. This evening, I received a call from ERS Loco shed regarding the image. I told them that it is very shameful that such a thing has happened and our flag has been disrespected. The executive on the other end told me that the loco is in service currently and assured me that they would rectify it as soon as it is back in the shed. About 10 mins later, I received another call and the executive took more information about the day of the trip, the train and all other details. He informed me that they are going to take some action and issue a chargesheet against the on-duty executive who dispatched the train and the executive who attended the schedule. I hope the matter is rectified ASAP and appropriate action is taken by the ERS shed.

Request to railfans:
If you find this loco anywhere (40101 ERS WDP-4D), please click a photo from the front and share it on this post or even raise a complaint (if the issue is not rectified) by mentioning my complaint reference number (2022042203880). If you see any other loco on the Indian Railways network which has the flag stuck inappropriately, do take it up. It is a matter of our nationalism and they cannot just disrespect the flag.
Loco: 40101
Shed: Ernakulum (Southern Railway)
Spotted at: Ratnagiri with 12431/TVC NZM Rajdhani Express

Re# 5325048-7              
This was introduced during the Independence Day celebrations in 2016.
There is actually no requirement but the flags did change the look of the locos. The loco sheds should have added an additional item on the checklist to inspect the condition of the flag while dispatching the loco for every service.
Seeing the flag in such a bad state, I surely want them to remove all the flags from the locos rather than the disrespect.

    These days, every other day, we are getting requests from members to allow email login to their FB-based IRI account. 10 years ago, we had given the option for users to login through FaceBook - in retrospect, this was a mistake. These days, apparently, users are quitting FaceBook in droves because...
