I have never booked any Tatkal ticket, The IRCTC people are deliberately blocking the site exactly at 8 AM every morning. Are they just providing a service for the agents.

Whenever I try booking tickets on IRCTC in tatkal quota, the website doesn't open up and even if it does, I am unable to book tickets because of the immense load on the website.

By the time the website opens up, no tickets are available anymore. This is due to the strong "agent" network that is functional throughout the country.

Some steps must be taken to stop these agents from taking away all...
