Indian Railway Catering & Tourism Corporation [IRCTC] — delay for 6 hours of train in a fine summer day resulted in rejection from army ssb to let me attend it

Delay for 6 hours of train in a fine summer day resulted in rejection from army ssb to let me attended it:

I had my ssb for army today (13/05/2018), i had planned and prepared everything to give my best in the interview, but on the day of train departure (12/05/2018) i received a message that the train is delayed by 4 hours, i was worried that how will attend my ssb, then as the trains timing to reach the station was 02:30 am in the night so i thought it might cover some hours and reach before 6 o'clock, so that i would be able to attend easily or may i would be able to convince the officers for delay.

But what happen really, the train came at the delayed right time but it kept on delaying, it was suppose to reach by 6 30 by the exact delay time but it got late by 5 and half hour late and reached at 8 o'clock,.

My reporting time was 6 o'clock and the train was actually going to reach at 02:30 am at the same day.

So i what the hell happened, i rushed towards the centre i tried to convince them but they didn't here a word as i was two hour and half hour late and not merely half or even one hour late.

I had to come back from the gate of my future, this is acceptable as this is caused due to indian railways negligence of trains, how does indian railway gets a right to delay the train by 6 hours on summers without any technical issues or even weather issues. I had to stay back on a hotel (800 rupees) and which results in even more waste of my hard earned money.

I need the refund my every penny i wasted here due to indian railway and also an apology which states that it was mistake from irctc and not the candidate so i can take that to army next time.

This is really pathetic from indian railways that a person has to reach a destination a day before just because we can't trust railways to their work correctly.

Details of train:
Train:11071, doj:12-05-18, 3a, ltt-bpl, dep:12:40,
Fare:1450.0, sc:0.0+pg+ins
