That the Railway Minister Suresh Prabhu has been winning hearts over the country is not news. There was the woman whose assault complaint he handled in absolute superman-ly fashion. Then there was the *cough* surprising news of dearest late-lateef -everyone’s-pain-in-the-neck website Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Limited (IRCTC) somehow managing to achieve the goal of becoming India’s most profitable e-commerce website .
And, now, *hold your breath* Prabhu was an early Santa Claus to hangry (hungry and, expectedly, angry) kids on a train. He made sure food was provided to students of Asian School, Dehradun , after they tweeted to the railway minister for help. The train, travelling from Haridwar to Howrah, was stranded due to dense fog and the students were hungry as this train has no pantry car.
Here’s the tweet trail. Feel free to share the love and hop into the next train:
Prabhu’s addressal of grievances using social media probably stems from Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Minister of External Affairs Sushma Swaraj’s dedication to the medium. Not that we are complaining.
Here’s to saving more damsels in distress, providing food to kids and, hopefully soon, making sure the train loos are cleaned better.
