[Resolved]  Indian Railways — MISUSE OF RESERVED COACHES BY DAILY PASSENGERS

I just had a bitter experience/s of traveling in Pooja Express (2413/2414), so called super fast train. I happened to travel both ways on this train with PNR no[protected] & PNR no[protected] from Ludhiana to Jaipur & back. I was surprised to experience that on Delhi to Jaipur section(Bboth ways), the train becomes a local train. Any body can board the Sleeper Class Reserved coach & ask for sitting on your berth (either politely/authoritatively). For them, there is no funda of Reservation on this train. This practice makes the train totally packed with these local passengers. You even cannot dare to move to toilets area. Your comfort & mental peace (which you suppose while reservation) is all Gone. These local people purchase ordinary tickets & obliged TTE with Rs 20 to 30 to get the sitting facility in reserved coaches. Of course, I contacted the TTE but I knew that he will take their side only (because he is happy with the money he had in his black coat pocket or black money in his White trouser pocket).It pinched me a lot as I booked my tickets 2 months back & with reasonable money. I was so upset that I planned to stop the train by pulling the chain & make this a big issue then & there but you know we Indians lack unity. Other co-passengers were not that supportive for the act. This practice in this train is affecting Govt.’s Revenue also because as per rules there is a penalty of Rs 175/passenger for traveling in sleeper class with ordinary ticket.
I request the concerned authorities to stop this practice ( although I am not a frequent traveler on that route) in Nation’s interest. Magistrate checking should be regular phenomenon on this route to take to Task these improper travelers as well as these corrupt TTE’s who fill their own pockets at the cost of we people’s comfort. My only request- PLEASE TAKE SOME ACTION ON THIS PRACTICE ON DELHI-JAIPUR SECTION IN 2413/2414.

I completely agree with you my freind as I've regularly faced this in Ahsram Express between Delhi - Rewari - Alwar -Jaipur section. These TT's are good for nothing. They are the corrupt, thieves, robbers and [censored]ing craps.
