Subject: Journey in I ST Class coach of Local Trains

Sir,

With due respect we, the following regular passengers of First Class Local trains bring your kind notice for necessary action so as to avoid undue rush resulting into inconvenience to us in these coaches mainly by RPF, GRP, Railway employees and trade union leaders of railway. Travelling in second class by railways employee lowers their status but it causes inconvenience to the passengers who regularly and sincerely buy ticket or pass to avoid discomfort of second class.

The tickets checking staff of railway is equally responsible, by way of closing their eyes and accommodate these unauthorized passengers in First class and leave them on uttering slowly a simple word “Staff”. It seems that those who buy ticket are fools and the only advantage is to first of all loosen their pockets. The ticket checking staff is rarely seen in trains to check these unauthorized passengers effectively in peak hours.

An unspecified / surprise check in the reverse order during peak hours will help Railways to stop this illegal, unlawful and undue ticket less passengers travels by railway.

We hereby complete this letter with the hope that necessary action will be taken by your kind office.

Thanking you in anticipation sir,

Ref: Our representation letter DT: 10 Feb 2011

Sir,

We are thankful to you for initiating action in reference to our representation but the effect was seen merely for 02 to 03 days which seems very disheartening. The unauthorized passengers were let off without any appropriate action and are seen again in the coach/train. There was a telephonic contact from your department on 23rd February 2011 and the concerned person was more interested to know about our identity than solving this prolonged issue of inconvenience to us i.e. the regular passengers paying from their pockets. Our suggestions are listed below:

1. Display and announce in I ST Class coaches specifically that travelling in these coaches without appropriate authority is illegal and fix fine in terms of finance.
2. I ST Class season pass/ticket holder should be permitted to question these unauthorized passengers travelling in I ST Class coaches irrespective of the department.
3. Contacts numbers may be provided on the stations of station managers / checking staff incase such unauthorized passengers are detected by authorized passengers.
4. Identity Card should be given to all I ST Class passengers and which should be shown in train.
5. RPF/GRP on duty must be in uniform.

We need solution to root out this social evil and not exhibition. Our representation is for common causes, if possible please intimate us on following posted address, your future plan of action:
