[Resolved]  Southern Railway, Chennai Division — What is the use of getting 1st class season?

Address:Chennai, Tamil Nadu

What is the use of getting the first class ticket? I'm having the first class season from Maraimalainagar - Nungambakam, spending 550 / month. I have seen many ticket checkers in the Beach - Tambaram route (Only on Tam trains). But never ever seen the ticket checks in the Tambaram - Chengulpet route. I'm travelling for the past 3 years in train with the first class season, during these 3 years I never got checked by the ticket checkers in the First class, especially during the peak hours (after 6PM). Get the Beach - Timrumalpur train which arrives on 19.30PM at Mambalam station, get in the first class compartment and check for the tickets. You will definitely find that 30% of second class persons traveling in the second class. Get the same train in tambaram, you will find 50% of them traveling. We - the first class persons told them to get down of train, but they never hear our speech since they know very well the ticket checkers wont come after Tambaram station towards chengulpet. Another problem is that the railway staffs who doesn't have eligibility to sit and travel in first class, getting the train in beach and egmore and filling up most of the seats. Due to that many first class season takers like me, who spend such a lot money (when comparing to second class) standing and traveling upto urappakkam or even guduvanchery. This is not happening on 1 or 2 days. It's happening on all the working days. Can the department take necessary action?

Though the complaint has been marked as resolved, this problem continues to exist in all suburban trains. Most of the seats are occupied by railway staffs who are ineligible to travel by first class and also Tamil nadu state police who travel right royally in first class without proper tickets (do they even have tickets?). Railway checking staffs do not ask them ( ineligible railway staff and police) to show their tickets, instead only check tickets of regular trsvellers who have season tickets. They are also not polite when asking for tickets. Why no action is being tsken in spite of repeated complaints?.
