They have a free run.....

They were your unsolicited companions on your train journey whether you like them or not. They just stalk you during your journey. No TTE can ask them or examine them in fact, at times, they are at the receiving end.
Yes ! you 've rightly figured out what I really mean. They are ubiquitously found they are none other than RODENTS.

Last week,I had been to Madras Central Station to see off my friend. As I was standing on the platform I found that our trains not just carry passengers and freights. There were bandicoots having a free run well inside the busiest Railway station. There were no checks on them they simply enjoying their life in the company of humans. Beneath the platform they just jump from one track to the another.

What was most surprising that they were not alone .Among themselves , there were comrades from other states. They were not accustomed to a particular food because considering the Indian Railway Network they eat all delicacies that come in their way.
