    Hi all,
    Myself sibraj banerjee, a resident o[censored]ttara apartment located at 60/a/b narendra nagar, belghoria. Kolkata - 700056. For the past 7-10 days myself and other residents in the building are facing an issue in terms of excessive vibration of building due to metro railway activity in dunlop area for dunlop-noapara project. This has to led to an inability to sleep at night due to excessive vibration and noise and also resulted in damage to the building.in spite of repeated requests no attempt has been made by the concerned authorities to rectifiy the situation.
    Would you request you to kindly look into the issue at the earliest since if this process continues resident may be forced to take legal action.

    Thanks & regards,
    Sibraj banerjee.

      My dear sir,

      I have bought a smart card from kolkata metro railway vide card no.[protected] in the year 2014 or before and since then using the same for metro railway. Fewdays ago i have gone to the ticket counter to recharge the metro smart card, the counter person said that the card is not readable properly and have to change or replace the card.in that respect i have gone the station master of kalighat metro railway to replace the card. The station master rejected my request to replace the card and said that this card cannot be changed and advised to buy a new card again. I requested the station master to make necessary arrangement to refund the card security deposit amount of rs.100/- and i shall buy a new card. He refused to do so and said no refund can be given and while saying that he has given me a form for refund of balance available and suggested to make another 4 copies of photocopy from the outside as they do not have much forms in their store.
      I requested the station master to take my request for refund of security deposit and the balance again. He misbehaved and said nothing just can be done. Moreover his assistances were rude and rough while speakinf to the public and said that this card is defective or not in good position to refund. I asked if there is any problem with the card its the responsibiluty of the kolkata metro to replace as am a valid card holder and moreover there mey be some wear and tear of the card fro usage for a longer time.
      I being a resident of india wish to know that whrether do my goverment has this policy to forfeit the public money as i have paid rs.100/- as security deposit while buying the smart card? Or ministry of railways have given any such direction to the kolkata metro to forfeit public money by way of not replacing the smart card agaisnt the old one which i have bought.
      Needless to mention that every this do have wear and tear issue and which need to be replaced rather asking for no refund as kolkata metro have taken the amout while selling this card.
      My humble request to your good office to please lookinto this matter as most urgent basis and please arrange to replace my old smart card by a new one.

        I am Kaushik Chakraborty one of the passenger of kolkata Metro Railway. Yesterday I bought a ticket(around 10:20 AM) from MAIDAN station to MAHANAYAK UTTAMKUMER(Tollygunge). The Person who was seated into the ticket counter gave me the ticket of RS 4/-(1 Zone,1 Ride, Ticket no:450330). Due to I don’t know the actual fare, I took the ticket. When I reached my destination station the getman( who was standing in civil dress) caught me and we went to the station master's room. They asked me to give them of RS 252/- as fine amount then I come to know that the fare from MAIDAN to MAHANAYAK UTTAMKUMER(Tollygunge) is RS 6/-(2 zone,1 Ride). I was trying to make them understand several time that, their staff given me the wrong ticket and there was nothing my fault, then why should I pay the fine amount for his mistake, when I told that this thing, They are started to harassed me, they snatch my mobile by force. Then I was bound to paid the fine amount of RS 252/-(Penalty Ticket no: 096611) because, I was in hurry to reach my office. All this incident happened in front of on duty traffic supervisor MR. J.D.Hazra at MAHANAYAK UTTAM KUMER (Tollygunge) station.
        Now my question is that, Why should I pay the fine amount for their mistake? And why such an inefficient people are sitting into the ticket counter who doesn’t know the fare? Or it is the new policy of Metro Railway to earn some EXTRA MONEY from the passengers.
        My request please take the needful action regarding this matter so that, no more passenger needs to get harassed like me.

        These people are not doing their job, what they are supposed to do
        Strict Action need to be taken against such Employee.
        we all know that the last metro from dum dum is scheduled at 9.45 hrs and the counter is scheduled to close before 3 minutes of the last train. But to my utter surprise, on 4.5.11 while I was going to catch the last train, I found that all the counters are closed before 9.30 p.m. It was happened not only on that day but in 2/3 occasions earlier. I would like to put it on the record and bring it to the knowledge of our beloved Rail Minister so as to kindly intervene in the matter. Pronoy Mukherjee, Dum Dum
        plz take this matter to Railway minister, my similar issue was resolved [protected]@gmail.com
        Hi...My name is Dipanwita Banerjee working in an MNC in Sector 5...The same incident happened with me & my aged mother today...I boarded the metro from Sovabazar with my mother at 9.07 PM...The person at the Sovabazar ticket counter gave me Rs.4 ticket instead of Rs.6 though I asked for a ticket to Jatin Das Park...It didnt strike in my mind that that "deaf" person sitting at the counter has handed me the lesser fare ticket. So I didnt see the same in hurry. Moreover it is difficult to see the fare amount written on the plastic token used as tickets nowadays...When I got down at J.D.Park the metro officials present there harassed myself & my aged mother, used slang & were trying to force us to give Rs. 252 fine. They didnt even consider that two ladies were travelling alone at night & around 20 ill mannered people gathered there to force us to give Rs.252 whereas the fault was of the Sovabazar ticket counter person...They were trying to detain my aged mother there at 10.00 PM in the night !!! We stood there for around 10mins with heavy baggage with us...They could very well make out that obviously we are not the kind of people who can do this kind of thing to save just Rs.2 !!!...But still they kept on harassing us...It was so insulting & humiliating...Its a shame... However...I kept on saying that I would not pay the fine at all with no fault of mine be it Rs. 2, or 252 or 252000 whatever the amount is...If they would have managed to take the fine...I would have sued the metro with a case I was determined...However..ultimately we managed to get out from there safely after all the harassment because I am not the kind of person to bow my head before unjust things & demands...However these kind of officials harassing the passengers must be penalized by the metro authority for their behaviour...Please look into the matter asap to minimize these kind of harassment...Otherwise metro authority will be piled with court cases & penalties
        I had a ditto experience as Kaushik
        Same pair of stations, same problem!! Wonder if its a scam!

        I asked for a ticket from Maid an to Tollygunge.
        The agent gave me 4 INR ticket. It did not accept at Tollygunge.
        The security was suggestive to settle without fine.

        I asked him to take me to office.I explained to the agent CHHOTE RAM, that the metro agent made a mistake and gave me wrong ticket.
        He asked me prove.

        I told him I am willing to buy a new ticket.He refused.
        He challenged me saying why I did not check the fare!

        I did not know consumers need to challenge ticket teller agents.
        Really!!!

        And what if I Check the fair and ask for 6 Rupees ticket but he gives a token which is wrong????!!!

        Worst he proposed to compromise, with another defaulter who had no money RO pay.
        He said you can share the fine between you too!
        He was not eager to give me a fresh ticket, but was OK for this compromise!!

        I paid 252INR FINE FOR NO FAULT OF MINE.
        AND FROM KAUSHIK, S post it is not first time!!!

        Disgusting!
