Indian Railways — TC not available, over crowded SL coach

Address:

Mumbai City, Maharashtra

Dear Sir/Madam, Details: PNR: [protected] Train No.: 12859 Date: 14/FEB/2015 Journey: Chatrapati Shivaji Terminal to Kharagpur This is to make a kind attention to the problem which I faced while traveling from Chatrapati Shivaji Terminal to Kharagpur Junction. The sleeper coach was full o[censored]nwanted people who didn't have ticket, there were around 3 to 4 ladies in the coach as I had seen in chart rest were all men. I was allotted lower berth and 7 extra people (having no ticket) were sitting on my berth. People allotted with upper berths were on their seat and sleeping. I was not feeling well, so asked people to allow me to sleep or let me open the middle seat so that I can sleep. They started explaining me the rules of middle seat - timing of middle seat is 10 PM to 8 AM, and if you'll open middle one then how could we'll sit. There was no TC to check the tickets. Some how I survived the journey and reached Kharagpur. I want an answer that why there was no TC to check the tickets, is it fare from your side such a conduct. On one side you make rules and regulations and another side you break your own rules. I request you to take immediate action that why there was no TC? Waiting for your response. Thanking You. Yours Faithfully, Chandrima Roy
