Indian Railways has now earned a reputation of taking prompt action whenever a traveler needs their help, whether it is saving a lady from an indecent co-passenger, helping a son who is travelling with sick father or providing food to hungry kids. It’s indeed a great effort on the part of railways and its minister Suresh Prabhu who has won the trust of passengers since now they have full faith in his assistance and service and whenever they feel any need, they just text the ministry.
However, one passenger named Prabhakar S Jha crossed all the limits when he asked the railway minister to provide diapers for his daughter on Wednesday. Yes, you read it right!
If you are wondering how he made such a weird demand, then you are going to be more surprised to know that the railway ministry quickly responded to this, asking the passenger for his details like PNR number etc. so that they could provide him with possible aids.
Kindly share your Complete (PNR) Journey details & Contact number So that we can assist you.

Quite naturally, it was unacceptable on the part of Twitterati who trolled the man for misusing the service provided by railways to needy as well as ministry for the enthusiasm to fulfill it.
Prabhakar S Jha later had to delete his tweet for the criticism he received but it was too late!!
This is how Twitter users trolled him…
Correct question!

One should make only genuine demands!
Idiots such as these do really exist…No shortage of fools…Kal ko underwear maangega elastic dheeli hone pe.

Users also requested the Railway Minister not to pay attention to his sick demand!
Sir, don't give attention to such idiots. Railway min is not 4 such non sense. One should carry diaper at least. @jhaprabhakar

Resources and services should not be wasted on irresponsible passengers!
Ridiculous to waste resources on irresponsible travellers. Pls stop entertaining them.

He didn’t forget his smartphone, then how diapers?
Try to separate genuine requests from freeloader requests. This 👉 @jhaprabhakar is a freeloader. Did he forget his smartphone?

This user requested Suresh Prabhu to take an action against the passenger.
Sir Request u to tk action against dis irresponsible @jhaprabhakar who is trivialising ur services.

And this Twitterati slammed the ministry for taking the demand seriously..

Well-said!
Is this model of customer service scaleable? Should Railways focus on being an efficient, convenient & safe transport or on being nanny? pic.twitter.com/q026CENI0k

There were few who didn’t fail to appreciate the ministry too!

Railway Ministry is no doubt doing a great job in helping out the needy but to what extent is it reasonable or justified to make senseless demands and avail of its services?
