[Resolved]  Railway — SEAT AVAILABILITY

Address:

Rajasthan

I traveled on[protected] from Suratgarh to Jaipur train no. 09733 Hanumangarh- Kota special with a 3rd AC ticket PNR NO. [protected]. Before boarding in the train on inquiring at Suratgarh railway station it was told that my ticket is Wait list 1. on boarding the train ( Coach B1) and contacting with the Conductor Mr. Arif Siddiqui it was told that i am on Wait list 4 and can`t travel in 3 tier. I came to know that there is some space in A1 Coach( AC 2 tier) so requested him to upgrade the ticket with additional difference payment. He state way refused that there is no space in any class but on the other hand allowed no. of other passengers with higher wait list or ordinary tickets to occupy birth for example : B1 - 64, A1 - 36. This process of issuing birth got continue through out the night and i was not allowed even a seating place up to Jaipur so i have to stand in the toilet area through out the night. On making objection on this i said that it is your mistake that you are having a wait list ticket, if i had an ordinary 2 nd class ticket than he can upgrade my ticket to any class with confirmed birth.

Was it my mistake that i have wait list ticket ?
Should we buy an ordinary ticket and offer bribe to the conductor in place to the Railways?
Conductor has full authority for such harassment to allow more than 4 passengers issuing birth without Confirm/ wait list ticket/ RAC ? We do not have any right to find the actual status.

Is it possible that no birth got free during this long journey from Suratgarh to Jaipur ?

I was following him through out the night for a seating place only but he does not have humanity as nothing is possible in the country without bribe for which a govt employee is openly creating the circumstances ?
