[Resolved]  Southern Railways — TTR Asked bribe and reacted violant in Vaigai express

Today I was travelling in AC Chair car from Ariyalur to Chennai in Vaigai Express (02- March 2008). I was travelling with my wife who is pregnant and with my mother who reached the age of 60. I have booked the ticket in IRCTC claiming senior citizen fro my mother. AT last minute i saw that in ticket my mother sex was printed as Male instead of Female. Before getting into the train I showed it to TTR and showed teh age proof for her and also I specified the error in the ticket. He told just to get into the train. After getting into the train he asked Rs 200 for me to adjust for this ticket . When I refused he looked into the age prrof. It was a ration card issued in July 2005 and her age was specified as 57. He mwntioned that as a reason and he told me to either pay penalty for it or pay himn rs 200. I finally paid peanlty of RS 680 ( forced to pay). Every body knows that ration card form will be received before 6 months and teh age mentioned that was not exactly on teh date of issue. Ration card is acceptable for age proof. Though I am going to lodge complaint against him see the attitude of TTR . I am not sure that 680 is right penalty. Even in reservation if teh proof for age is not there they should claim only for excess amount . The ticket cost will not be Rs 400. He cahrged me 680 apart from the amount received in reserved ticket

Dear NW Railways (Jaipur),

I had booked ticket from Jaipur to Balotra on Malani Express of 5.7.07 with PNR No.[protected] for my family and myself. When we reached the station at midnight, we were told that the train had been canceled because of heavy rains and floods. Thereafter I had sent the tickets to your office for cancellation and refund (Ticket Deposit Receipt TDR No B018487). After a long and tedious process, I was given only half the amount of the ticket as refund! The ticket cost me Rs 1827 whereas I was refunded Rs 913 only. This is not understandable because I didn't miss the train, I didn't choose not to board the train. It was the train which was canceled. Actually, Indian Railways should have compensated me for missed journey and consequential damages (which I think IR avoids in fine print), rather than deduct half of what I had paid. I request you to kindly look into it. Your people might be playing funny in this. Or your policies need to be reviewed. In any case, I request that the ticket should be refunded in full, and not partly.

Yours sincerely,

Sir,
Did you checked the chart? Whether your mother name appeared in the chart? If so, you can make a complaint to Southern Railway to get back the amount stating that the name is correct only the sex mistake was there. Please mention that the TTR charged you as if your mother is not having ticket at all. Since it is not correct ask for the re-payment what you paid. Also, you can mention the other things if you wish. Good luck.

Yours sincerely,

Hi I wish to bring notice about the Bribery happening in the Guruvayur Express(6128) for getting a ticket in the Reservation compartment. I had travelled from Ariyalur to Chennai on 1st April 2008. Usually I travel in the Pallavan Express where we can get the seat in reservation coach by paying Rs.15 to the TTE. But in the Guruvayur Express the Senior Ticket Examiner Thiru. Purushothaman had collected Rs 50 for the ticket in the Reservation coach and given the bill for Rs. 15 to me. I asked about this to him and he said he is taking risk by without giving seats to the waiting list passengers and giving the tickets to general ticket passengers. I dont know where to give the complaint about this. so I am sending the message to your. I you wish i can produce the ticket and payment slip to the concern authorities. More over this the second incident for me in the same train. Like wise on one other day I was travelling with my family and requested for ticket in the reservation compartment. He collected Rs. 100 from me and given the payment slip for Rs. 45. I asked about this and he told that acutally he is supposed to collect Rs. 300. I didn't speak to him and i forgot to complain about this. I tried to capture this using my mobile phone unfortunately i couldn't. Please acknowledge my mail and punish the TTE. Becasuse if this is going to happen in future no one will like the travel by train.

This is to the notice of southern railway department, that the
train charminar exp running from chennai to hyderabad & from
hyderabad to chennai always runs 3 to 4 hr late, resulting in
hytek travel for the passengers. This Friday (30/05/2008) charminar exp took at 7.03pm from Secunderabad and reached
chennai around 11.30am in the morning that almost 3& half hour late. Its schedule time of arrival in chennai is 8.15am.

And the Charminar exp from chennai to hyderabad sunday ( 01/06/2208) took around 6.13pm in the evening and reached
Hyderabad (nampally) around 10 am thats around 2 & half hour
late.

This is not only the case i have travelling with this train every friday & sunday to & fro from chennai to hyderabad for more
than one year this train charminar has reached on time only
on few occasion. We passenges feel very uncomfortable while
traveling for nearly 17 to 18hrs, normal jounrney hour is 14hrs.

Pls.i request the railway authorities to look into this issue. becos
this train never runs on schedule time, always runs min. 2 to 3 hrs
late.

Please do the needful

basin bridge rpf are catching people without any fault .sometimes the loco train stop there for more than 10 min so i came to see the signal the rpf caught me, and took to the corporation court office there they asked me to pay 200 rs and left me, there were lot of people who are paying 200 or more please look at it were is the money going.and tell this rpf do not harrase common people.
Daily their is an big problem have been played over by the unit trains, which is departure from velachery to beach . The journey time is more or over 40 min but is really taking nearly one hour.
In peak hour we can adjust the things which is reasonable. From Fort to beach it is takes more than 20 min. Please try clear this problem or take any few steps to over come problems. They should not be strict in all other things but they also be strict in signal problems.
Sir,
I am working as a software engineerin Begumpet.So daily i travel from Kachiguda to Begumpet by Local MMTS in Hyderabad city.The train will come in time when iam going to Begumpet.But when i am coming back from begumpet the 7.40 train(not only 7.40) will come at least 1 or more than 1 hour late.So please try to avoid this problem.Passengers are facing so many problems.And one more thing is when the train is entering into the secunderabad station they dont give the signal to come into the station.They stop MMTS at least 20 to 30 minutes for other trains(Not only for trains for Engines).So please try to avoid this problem by decreasing the time.
i must say the people at the counters of mmts railway station are the most rude, unhelpful and lazy recruits.so much for taking them in
when they have 2 counters how come only 1 counter works even during peak hours
they do not know any rules and come up with a different rule each time
especially at the lingampally station
yu' yu' would have done some forgery man...

Sir,

On 16 January 2010 I and my ailing father and mother (both seniors) were traveling from Mangalore to Kannur by Train # 6628 West coast express after spending long hours at hospital. My mother who is an orthopedic arthritis patient and some how boarded S8 coach of train 6628 and occupied 1 to 5 number berth of S8 which is vacant up to Kannur but TTE of this particular coach compelled us to move from this coach or else pay Rs.750 .
On same seat from 1 to 5 of this S8 coach another 3 persons where sitting with general ticket and traveling from Mangalore to Payyanur.

With severe discomfort these ailing senior citizens were compelled to walk up to S6 coach seat (37, 38 & 40) with only Rs 240 extra.

I’d like to know how this berth charges decreased from Rs.750 to Rs.240 when we move from coach S8 to S6.

Whether persons sitting at 1 to 5 seats of S8 traveling from Mangalore to Payyanur is charged extra, there is a practice among TTE’s that they don’t bill extra charges until the passenger reaches alighting station i.e. just before the arrival of alighting station TTE’s will approach these passengers for money without issuing receipt.

Tickets and receipts of berth charges will be furnished when demanded by authorized authority.


Kindly take necessary action so that these kind of activities don’t repeat.


Thanking you

I had a same experience. I was travelling from Kollam to Kasargod in Maveli Express. I am an NRI coming from Dubai. My passport and documents was left with the travel agency for furhter travel. I had an online issued ticket. Before bording the train I told the concerned TTR that I haven't got any original ID but only the copy of Passport. He allowed me to board. But he didn't check my ticket till the train leave Aleppey. Then he came to me and threatened of criminal case and imprisonment, also a fine for ticketless travelliing. As I am an NRI I was not having time to spend on such problems.I discussed with my fellow passengers for solution.Nobody was knowing rules of railway for travelling with an online ticket and without original ID. Atlast the TTR asked me 200 Rs bribe and when I gave him a 1000 curreincy ( I was not having change) he took the cash saying that he will return the change. After that he didn't come back to the compartment till the train reach Kasaragod. Whom I have to contact in such urgent case. What is rules for travelling with an online ticket without original ID.
Sir,

I am SS Nathan, working as Senior Manager in National Aluminium Company Ltd at Orissa. Recently I had traveled from Tirunelveli to Bhubaneshwar by Train No-2666 CAPE-HOWRAH Express in S3 coach, birth No.-35 PNR No-[protected] on 18/09/2010 . During my travel, I thought of getting food when train was entering the platform of Ariyalur Station. I was standing near the exit door, keeping in mind that train will halt for a minute. One person came behind me and asked me to get in, so that he will stand first. I denied and when the train halted in platform, I got down looking for food. He called me and ask for the ticket. I was surprised, that he is a young guy not in uniform and there is no name plate too but he is unfortunate TTE of some other train, going home (Ariyalur). He started checking my ticket and started rough language which I do not want to elaborated. Finally he hurt me, weather you want to continue the journey or not?. After get in the train, later I asked my coach TTE about him but he did not answer but he knows him well.

Hence I request your high office to take care and give proper training to TTE for well behaving with passengers and ask the senior TTE to train them accordingly.



Yours truly,

SS NATHAN,
