Passengers of the Mumbai-Pune Superfast Pragati Express that was recently upgraded under the Indian Railways' Utkrisht scheme seem unimpressed by the work. They have complained that bathroom doors have sharp edges that cause injuries, the tiles there rattle when the train is at high speed and many fans are non-functional. They have appealed to the railways to not upgrade other trains like this.

"We were promised a new train, but what they have done is poured paint and added wallpaper and fixtures. But, the work has been done shoddily. We fear the tiles and window grills of the bathroom may fall on someone's head while the train is in motion," said Punam Kijbile, an advocate and regular commuter.
