The launch of the high-speed Tejas Express was something that numerous train travellers were waiting for, owing to the addition of headphones and infotainment screens.

However, on completion of its first trip from Mumbai to Goa, the train officials were shocked when they found a lesser number of headphones and several damaged infotainment screens. To add to the woes, the new-fangled express was also scattered with litter.

The Tejas Express made its first journey as it flagged off from Mumbai’s Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus on Monday, but the enthusiasm of the launch faded away when it returned from Goa on Tuesday, tattered and damaged.

Hindustan Times reports that the railway officials had doubted such an incident to happen, but did not expect the extent of the damage to be so much. In view of the situation, the railway officials are mulling ways to inform passengers about the systems, and that it should not be damaged.

The express, which is capable of running at a speed of 200 km/hr, also incorporates a slew of features including automatic doors, infotainment screens along with headphones, automatic tea/coffee vending machines, bio-toilets, advanced water taps, and much more.

As per the report, at least 12 high-quality headphones that were provided along with the infotainment screens were missing or stolen, said railway officials. In addition, some screens were also found damaged or scratched.

A passenger who was coming back from Goa to Mumbai on the second day said the train was not cleaned properly. He reportedly said that the service on the train was also not satisfactory.
