Indian Railways Plans Revamp of RailMadad Portal to Improve Complaint Handling
Indian Railways plans to revamp the RailMadad portal to enhance passenger complaint handling, focusing on better categorisation, assignment, and resolution. Key issues include water complaints on trains, where responsibility is often misattributed, and food-related grievances on Vande Bharat trains. The Railway Board discussed these changes with Zonal Railways and the Centre for Railway Information Systems on September 7, aiming to improve accountability and reduce delays by refining complaint categories and feedback mechanisms.
