NEW DELHI: Railways on Monday said there was no truth in reports that the Indian women hockey players were made to sit on a train’s floor while they were travelling from Ranchi to Rourkela after returning from the Rio Olympics, and claimed that they “hold no grudge” against the national transporter.
“When the players boarded the train with unconfirmed tickets, the TTE took only 20 minutes to make seats available to them,” the Railways said in a statement.
