No train reservation on basis of religion: Piyush Goyal
Amid row over reports that a berth in Kashi-Mahakal Express is reserved for Lord Shiva, Railway Minister Piyush Goyal on Tuesday made it clear that neither a train was reserved on the basis of religion nor will be reserved in future.
He said some Railway employees out of their devotion kept the picture of Shiva on a berth during the inaugural run of the train.
The minister clarified that there were no passengers on train and the train service will be launched for public only on February 20.
