Sub: request of refund due to unforeseen circumstances in Mumbai.

Dear Sir,

My family wanted a vacation & hence we planned to visit northern India by train. Therefore, we booked 4 adult tickets on[protected] at Vashi Railway Station, Navi Mumbai, under the “Tatkal Scheme” to travel to Amritsar from Mumbai by ‘Amritsar Express’. This train was scheduled to depart on 27/11/2008 from Dadar (Mumbai) to Amritsar at 23.45 hrs. train no of which was 1057. The ticket was booked for 2 Tier A/C & the amount paid on 25/11/2008 was Rs.8880/-. The PNR no of the ticket issued to me is[protected]. Zerox copy of ticket attached for your ready reference.

However, due to various safety & security concerns inflicted in Mumbai on night of[protected] and continued through out on 27-11- 08 and thereafter, we were scared to travel and decided to cancel our ticket. Therefore, immediately on 27-11-08 morning, we rushed to the cancellation counter at Vashi Railway Station (New Mumbai) where I was advised that under the “Tatkal Scheme”, tickets cannot be cancelled and no refund of any sort is possible.

Sir, I sincerely request a refund the ticket amount of Rs. 8880/- as we have not cancelled this trip because of my personal reasons but due to the unfortunate and unforeseen circumstances/acts that shook Mumbai from[protected] evening.

Sir, I think it’s quite a reasonable and rational decision of me and my family to cancel our trip due to security concerns and natural fear in our minds about the happenings in Mumbai.

Considering above, it is sincere request to you to consider our claim of refund of Rs. 8880/-.

For any more info please contact / correspond with me either via mail or phone details of which are above.

Thanking you,

Yours faithfully,
