The Maharashtra government on Thursday said that many of its employees are not issued tickets and passes at the ticket windows of suburban railway stations windows despite carrying valid identity cards.

Under-secretary of the disaster management unit, Shrirang Gholap, has written to the general managers of the Western Railway and the Central Railway, which run suburban trains in Mumbai metropolitan region, about issuing monthly passes and tickets to the state government employees for travelling in local trains so that they do not have to face any inconvenience.
