[Resolved] Indian Railways — Existence of SIDE MIDDLE BERTH inspite of Supreme Court Order

S shailendra kumar gupta from Delhi, Delhi

I want to complain regarding sitting arrangment in BSB GaribRath Train No- 2213/2214 in which I was travelling on 1st of Jan 2010 from Delhi to Varanasi. I selected Lower Berth as Seat preference while booking the ticket from IRCTC web site. After the transaction was over on the site regarding payment, I thought to check the Coach and Berth number for confirmation and I found that the berth which was alloted to me was 59 in G10 coach (PNR No:[protected].When I went to board the train on schedule date and time on Delhi station, I was surprised to see that the Berth (59) which was alloted to me was Side middle Berth.Till date I was only aware about Side Lower and Side Upper Berth but never thought of Side Middle Berth. As per my knowledge, supreme court has already passed an order to remove this Side Middle Berth from all the Train.Now I want to ask Railway why Supreme Court order has been overlooked in this case ? We are paying the entire amount to Railway for booking the Seats/ Berths but why Railway is providing such useless facilities to their passengers. The Side Middle Berth is inconvenient for all the 3 persons who has been alloted the Side Upper/Middle/Lower Berth as 3 of them cant sleep properly as the gap between the Berths are very less mainly for Senior Citizen person, Ladies, Healthy person.A person can lost his/her life due to breathing problem. So, I want to ask is Railway is bigger then Our Supreme Court? Was this information helpful? No (0) Yes (0)

Even after supreme court order against side middle berth some trains have this inconvenient seats which is an harassment to the passengers. Its highly unethical to have these berths and trouble the passengers. In the worst scenario a passenger can be asked if he/she wants a middle berth before allotment of seats while booking through internet. Only after the seats are booked does the passengers know that they have been cheated by the GREAT INDIAN RAILWAYS. You loose money for cancellation. Last year the railways made a huge amount by Ticket cancellations, still they run in loss, true to the traditions of the congress they too fleece the ordinary middle income group. The Side Middle Berth is an inhumane way of accommodating passengers. Will the railways go by the supreme court order and ban this or else all trains be introduced with this SMB and allot it to only politicians so that they to get a taste of it.
