[Resolved]  South Central Railway — Even though Reserving seats in Lower Births Seat numbers are not Lower Births

On 30.03.2009 at 17:44 Secunderabad Reservation Counter, I made a Reservation for two Seats requesting for lower births (for ladies and small children sake) to bring my sister from Parbhani to Hyderabad Deccan. Lower Birth Numbers 33 and 36 are allotted in S2 Sleeper Class Reservation Coach.

Subsequently, on 13.04.2005 around 8:30 p.m. with children and my sister I entered into the S2 Reservation coach. But I see the numbers 33 and 36 are not Lower Birth seats, which is impossible for us to travel with children and ladies in night. Then I requested other passengers to adjust the Lower Births nobody agreed to give the Lower Births. After Some time Ticket Collector arrived and I asked him to adjust the Lower Births, he also suggested to request for other Passengers. But we argued with him that nobody is agreeing to give the Lower Births. After some time he was written S2 73, 74 on the ticket. Upto that time we were in standing position with children, since all births passengers are sleeping in night time. We went to S2 73, 74 with Luggage and Children which is difficult task. There one seat is Lower Birth and another is Middle Birth. Another Lower Birth Passenger refused to give his Lower Birth. After more begging to him he given the Lower Birth.

But, those seats also very near to Toilets and children was suffered a lot with allergenic bad smell. They were not slept for the whole night, My sister and myself not slept total night. After completion of journey even today also we are fearing to travel in Train.

In this connection, I put this situation in front of you that your poor service in allocating Reservation seats leads us to face the Severe inconvenience s in whole night with small children and ladies. Even though I reserved the seats before 15 Days with Lower Births. A Major public Transporting system in India Reserving the seats in this manner may leads to lose its honesty and reputation.

Hence, I request you to pay the negotiable compensation towards the severe inconvenience which we faced on that night.

For superfast trains there are little number of coaches General Category. How the people will sit, by having little number of Seats. Its the request of lakhs of people you know, because it is very dangerous to go like that having little coaches, seats.
The Railway Official will go or sit in the coaches. The seats, coaches having full of dirt. It is one of Sin to the Railway.
So i kindly requesting you to arrange Many Coaches, like Reservation Coaches.
In the General Compartments the people sit on any place, what they get, some times, not only some times many, so many times people are hanging to the doors. Like City Buses, but it is very dangerous Na.

Many people are die while the Journey like this. The Vendors in the coaches will theft many items. they are the not recognized one. so dont allow the private vendors into the coaches.
Please provide Many general coaches, like reservation coaches. the people who will be travel in the General Coach, they are not the MAD PEOPLE. The Railway is Treating like MAD PEOPLE. WHO ARE IN THE COACHES, GENERAL. THEY ARE CHARGING THE CHARGE FROM US. BUT THEY ARE NOT PROVIDING SEATS. WHY IT IS HAPPENING LIKE THIS. IT MUST BE SERIOUS TO SAY. PLEASE THE OFFICIAL OR UN OFFICIAL fight against this SYSTEM.WE WANT THE SEATS, WE ARE PURCHASING TICKETS. YOU HAS TO PROVIDE SEATS.
Thanking you,
