Mumbai Local Train Ticket Checkers work as sweepers for the rest of month

Now you don't need to wonder where these Mumbai local train ticket checkers, popularly known as TCs, Mamu or Master go for rest of the month after taking a random check on some random day of the month. A sting operation carried out by India Satire correspondent Pappu Pandey reveals that TCs who work on any random day of the month cleans platform, toilets and wash basins every day. Pappu carried out a month long sting operation putting his life at stake on a busy railway station in Mumbai. He tracked all the movements of ticket checkers and their behavioral pattern. "Yes, we work as sweepers for rest of the month. Just for some 'upar ki kamaai' we become TCs on some random day which is decided at the meeting in our Indian Association of Sweepers-cum-TC office. Who would like to do that shitty stuff of checking tickets otherwise?" said Ramakant Sharma, a TC who was in an attire of vest and brief (chaddi-banyan) while sweeping the platform.
