[Resolved]  Indian Railways — Nn issue of platform ticket and harassment

Respected sir,
Today morning(3:10AM) I had to go to pick my wife who was coming by channai-Mysore(6222) train to krishnarajapuram railway(bangalore) station. I went to the ticket counter and asked for platform ticket with 10 Rs since I was not having change of 3 Rs. The railway ticket staff issuing the ticket told that I have to give the change. I told I dont have change. Also I showed him that he is already having change at his desk.
He told that he cannot give that and told me to do whatever I can do.I told I will give a complaint against him. Then he replied that None can do anything agaist him. I tought of going to duty station master but the entry was closed. Since the train was about to come I went to the platform without ticket as my wife was having lot of luggages.
while I was about to come out of the platform the same person(the person who was sitting at ticker counter) asked me for ticket. I felt it to be really rediculous.When I asked for the ticket he did not give me at the same time now he is taking advantage of it. He told me I have to pay the money. then I was taken to the station master though another way. But station master also did not do anything. Then I was told to pay the money.Also he started abusing my wife when she talked about it. I paid 253Rs fine and told him that I will find some way to solve this.

1)This is really a humiliating act by the railway employee with some one who has always taken care that he never travelled/aboarded train/platform without ticket. It is something really hurting act for a gentle man like me.
2)I dont know what is the use of such people who issue ticket who does not serve the people. Is there any action or channel to take action against such people?

I hope right decision will be taken by the authority

Regards
Santhosh

i agree with you totally.I also was encountered in one such incident at new delhi railway station where i forgot my ticket in train and a railway "female" employee stopped me and asked to pay her twice the amount of the ticket for which i was travelling and which was rs 870 as fine.On pleading she came down to two hundred but lucikly the train was still at the platform and i was able to get the ticket.On showing her the ticket she gave me back 200 rs.But i was infuriated with the way they tried to have a bribe.Does anyone know what is the fine for not having a platform ticket .?And whom should we contact in such situation?
I agree totally. I went to K R Puram station in Bangalore to pickup my mother in Law and father in Law. They denied to give platform ticket for not having change and gave advise that don't delay others don't pause the line as others have to catch train you are here only to pick up. Then I ended up paying 270 Rs. when I went without ticket. Even that substandard uncultured person was thinking to take 50 Rs bribe and let me go but I paid 270 as I hate people who take bribe(all of them). So in my view Railway has a lot of corruptions. People working as TT are disgusting. I also think that people should take matters in their own hand in such a situation as I think it is your right to hit back when someone hits you. If you don't want to hit back its your choice but you have every right to hit back at them and punish them. I think that any corrupt officer tries to take bribe should be beaten up and be made sure that the amount of money he asked for should be less than the amount he has to pay medical bill. I think each person should do that, in that case corrupt persons will live in great fear and we can see a brighter tomorrow.
Corruption is a disease and beating in public place and physical assault is the cure. Dismantle corrupt person and destroy corruption.
i have also faced the problem in the same manner and but in my case its a nexus working over there. I belong to a small town. A few express train pass through it in night. so what they people do the switch off the platform ticket generating machine and then abuse people and try to get bribe from them. and sum time they r drunk also.
Am not sure if any body is taking care of these complains, but really KR Puram is becoming such a bad place with corrupted ticket collectors, who don't really care if you are with family.
on 28/07/2010 they suddently appeared and ask for ticket who was looking like software guys. Rest we not asked for tickets. Software guys to them are easy money making machines, we run out of time and they have enough words to talk.
Today he made me to pay 270 rs for one seeoff. If station wanted to control they should allow easy ticket buying process first instead of catching innocent people. Anyways the kind of language they speak is not accepted .. I felt really bad as i had been to different countries and made enough contribution and spoke lot about the good part of india.. This kind of foolish officer makes me think twice before prizing india.. Any actions on KR puram station officer would really helps many.
Secondly Why Auto rikshaw charges can't be controlled out side KR puram station, they ask 300 - 400 rs for smaller distance and those guys are in such a unity nobody comes if one say no... and they never use meters..
People working like clerks and attendants are ediots and no eticates, the tickets are never available and they want to make money out of that..
they should be throw out of the system.

I did face the same situation today in KR Puram Train station.

There were plenty of people who were with out tickets
but i made the noise that i wont pay.as there was a very long queue.and we were running out of time.

I was taken tp RPF office where SI Chetty came and started abusing me and using crap language...i didnt care..they scared me by opening the cell grill gate..."Open the door...Put him inside...and prosecute him..." these were the words he used...i said i am from Uniform background and i know how to handle this...then things started getting change...slowlyquestion of where abouts came and there were people who work there[people who even shouted at me] from the same place...then the whole situation came down and it was plesant environment.

The SI offered me chair, coffee and said some suggestions and he clearly said two things...

1.India can never change
2.It is the penalty fine decided by central govt.They cannot do anything.

I have given them suggestions

1.Incorporate automatic machines
2.Increase the counters at peak times..

And as i have made such a nuisance[it was big, very big and unnecessary] they said i have to pay the fine as others also have paid...

Finally i paid Rs.253

the only way to escape from this is:

Please request the station master atleast 15 times and he will excuse.As i cant really request anybody though i make mistake...i went this far...


They just need only 10 - 15 Bakras per day...

for harresment — without ticket going persons always

i am traveling many times in karnavati superfast express from bharuch to surat at morning train at 7:40am so i have a problem with lots of people to come without tickets and also they are sitting in general and handycap person coach. they all are very harresing all people and not given place to whose people who takes tickets and also handycap. so plese take action as soon as possible and take action who person give support all people.
its happen to me as well as i am not beg from anybody they are our servant... if you made mistake.you will face the consequence. and also appose his TTR is manner.

id is deactivated.how iam cancel the booked ticket

My id is suddenly deactivated without any information.now how can I cancel my ticket my ticket PNR no is [protected]
same thing happened with me..i went to give my father his wallet as he took no cash with him ..as i was getting out of the station some tc stopped me and told me to give fine ..when i told him that i wasn't aware ..well long story short ...these officials really need to work on their ego issues.i gave him fine as he was saying he will take me to police station
