Indian Railways Complaints & Reviews

Me and family traveled in kanyakumari express (12633, pnr: [protected]) in s1 coach on 16 october. There were 2 issues during this painful journey
1) train was delayed by 2.5 hours when it reached nagercoil. The main reason what i learnt was a stalled goods train in the egmore-tambaram section which was on the same track as 12633. I am at loss of words to understand how an engine which cannot pull the load can be fitted
2) about...

My pnr no is [protected]. I boarded the train in lucknow. Train reached 4 hrs late. The moment i entered the coach not only foul smell was emanating from toilet but there was no water at all to use it. The passengers complained the water shortage for last 12 hrs. Small children n women were finding difficult to continue the travel but had no option due to festive season. Pls taken immediate action n if possible please arrange the water atvelast for aam admission. Still to travle for another 15 hrs to isme

Another passenger at a1-23 informed same and then passenger at 14 and 15. When i reach to attendant for fir he was in sleep and when asked him he asked me to contact tc. At that time tc in train advice to complain at delhi. After reaching at delhi, when enquired on fir with one of grp police, he asked us to lodge complain at end station haridwar. By this time i tweeted to western railway, indian rail, rail minister. Soon after that grp police came to us and fir no [protected] lodged. Total loss i suffered of 1 lakh due to some gold earing and finger rings were available in wife purse.

This train having frequent theft cases, i heard with no of passengers. Indian railway team, kindly help to bring back our stolen things

Sir! My pnr no. Is [protected]. I am travelling by tr no. 04425 from katpadi rly syn. On 18 oct 17 right now at 1530 h this train is delaying by more than 9 hrs. We are getting bore. No pantry car, no water in toilets. No cleaning or maintenance. If this would be the condition then no body would like to travel by special train. Intead people would like to travel by air in the parallel cost. It seems we can not celebrate diwali on 19 oct 17. Very disgusting and embarrassing for people who are travelling by this train. Plz look intensively and make compensation accordingly. Kk singh

At goregaon east, near to lotus business park; 2 wheelers are required to be parked at railway warehouse.
Locals charge rs. 20 per vehicle without issuing receipts.
Illegally money is charged from people and if you don't pay, your vehicle will be damaged. Collection in name of raju pawaskar by teenagers.
This is how black money gets generated.

We boarded train 12245 duranto from bhubaneshwar to yesvanthpur on 17th october 2017. Irctc caterer i found is doon caterers. Pathetic food & it was being packed near toilets of each compartment though 12245 has a pantry. Food was cold too... When asked the persons serving, said to complain to the ministry since their owner is apathetic to their owes too. I think the authorities will not wake up till the public start a revolt against railways... Since my childhood (45 years) i have been hearing complaints on quality of food in trains. A railway public brigade need to be started by a ngo to ensure quality, hygiene. A revolution is required. No change of minister can make the railway staff to work. System has become obsolete. Wake up india

Train no. 12206 nanda devi express from dehradun to new delhi started on 17 october was not having water in coach b2. What kind of service is this? What we should use for washing if there is no water?
Please ask this to your employees who are working for filling water in coaches? What were they doing? Were they sleeping? If they are not able to complete the work please provide chance to other people who really want to serve the indian railway. Please don't waste money on such people who are not working properly

I'm travelling in east coast express s6 coach on 17th oct, 2017 and i have seen that the reserved compartment has been fully filled with general ticket passengers and the tc has taken 100/- each for illegally allowing them to stay there. He clearly stated it costs 500/- to write a receipt. Those passengers didn't allow me to sit in my own seat even. They molested me by trying to sit on my berth when i was trying to sleep (Side lower). They literally occupied my whole seat and made me to get out from there. I scolded them to move away from there but they didn't. The tc had allowed all of them to stay in the coach itself.
I experienced hell in the compartment...
I question the authorities as they, who are responsible to take care of these things, are actually encouraging them.
I demand the higher officials to respond to this and take stringent action.

To whomsoever it may concern.

This is to bring to your notice that on 04/10/2017 i ordered a meal at CHHAPRA railway station with Order ID[protected]Train Number - 22411, Coach ID - A2, Seat Number - 27), which was not delivered to me. After successfully placing the order, i got a confirmation call from the merchant that stated that the merchant is aware about the delay in the train's arrival at CHHAPRA railway station and assured me that the meal would be delivered at the time of actual arrival of the train at the station. Upon the arrival of the train, no food was delivered to me, the merchant did not answer any of my calls, even though i contacted the merchant multiple times.
The very next morning, i received a call from irctc for customer feedback, i asked them to lodge a complaint and provide me a complaint ID but nothing was done in that manner and the customer care employee on the other side was very rude to me, denying to register any complaint regarding this issue.
I then booked a complaint on the irctc e-catering application, with complaint ID[protected]. The next day i was provided with a free coupon.
This ridiculed me. Firstly, if the food could not be delivered, i should have been notified regarding the same, i was completely dependent on irctc for my meal so i had not ordered from any other vendor. The passenger travelling was my mother. She is 48 years old, and had nothing that day and was supposed to have the dinner at night that i had ordered for her. Secondly, no refund was generated for the undelivered food. What do i do with the coupon that i am provided with, with such a service, no passenger would ever order twice with irctc.
The in convenience caused was very upsetting.
I want a deep interrogation regarding this matter or i would have to approach higher authorities or the consumer court,
