I was travelling with Kalka mail from Durgapur on 14 July 2011 in AC 2 tier birth no. 9-10 when I woke up next morning on 15 July 2011 at 6 AM I found my bag missing with LAPTOP and Mobile phones and business documents and some legal document , Identity proofs , Bank docs, PAN cards etc. I logded my complaint in the train with Conductor Mr. MIHIR CHAKRABORTY and then FIR no. 20110063 at OLD Delhi Rly station on July 18, 2011.

I suspect that the coach Attendent was involved in the THEFT, one more person was looted in the next coach his luggage bag and other valueable stolen.

Till date nothing has happened , there are many type of police deployed by RAIL and GOVT but for in vain , public is being looted in the train continuosly.

sir how indianrailway passenger inquary system get ISO award.pl take action

I would like to submit here that I was having RAC no 1 ticket, 3AC train no 2961 dated 23.06.2010 from Mumbai to Indore. I presume that I was not provided a birth deliberately due to reasons belonging to the category of non compliance of duty of the railway employee for personal gains. I would further like to state that the information which is available so easily on the database is not deliberately provided to me so that I cannot file a case against the person.

This is the complaint against:

1. The Railways Employee for not providing birth to me.
2. All the officers dealing with providing services agaist RTI.
In response to my application dated 25th Oct,2010, the above referred authority has directed The Sr. Divisional Commercial manager and PRO(Sr. DCM & PRO) , Commercial Branch, Mumbai Central to provide information and transfer the case to the data base. The Sr. DCM & PRO in his reply vide c358/RTIA/Appeal/250/11/10-11 dated 30/12/2010 has referred record keeping officer’s report that states that no data about confirmed ticket cancelled are kept with them(letter enclosed). The Sr. DCM & PRO has not directed the case to the database as directed by the appellant authority for the reasons best known to him. He has further advised me to appeal to your highness.

Thanking You,

Sincerely yours,

sir
my family -my mother age 55 , father 58 and my wife with new born kids 2 month were at begusarai station to catch the train 12505 north east express to reach tundla agains PNR NO [protected] .
we have 2 tier AC ticket and as per standard rule ac coach stopped at opposite to rest room of AC passengers. we were at rest room and come to the plateform as we listen the announcement.we did not find any indication of coach location at plateform.we have six no of bags along with us.AC coach stopped 50 meter beyond the plateform range means first we have to cross the plateform which was 60 meter and again we have to walk further 50 meter on pebbles in night if we miss then we can get injured. on the track . as usual you know there is a lot of litter and excretion of human lying at the pebbles.
my family in hurry ride in the train at coach no S3 . they travelled inside the train to reach AC coach but again they found that shutter was closed and no body has opened the shutter despite TT has give confirmation that you ride in Sleeper coach and i will open the shutter , my family spent one hour by standing near the toilet in sleeper class but i paid the money for AC class . this is the treatment of railaway AC class passenger.
i request railway to make ride easy in trains, first there should be coach location indication at palteform as usual we see in big plateform. and driver should stop the train at the plateform because at that time he was the best judge despite of indication if driver will not stop the train there is no meaning of indication .

I asked one Ticket Booking Officer name Bhola working at new delhi paharganj railway station his contact number is (+91-[protected]) to book my Ticket for Gorakhpur. He said the charges of Sleeper Ticket for 1 person is Rs.-1000/-. He is charging (Rs 700 to 1500) extra apart from the ticket charges.Please take some strict action against these officers.

Sir,
We travelled to Haridwar on 17.07.11 and from Haridwar on 25.07.11 by Utkal Express (18477 & 18478) respectively. There was no mobile charging points in any of the sleeper class coaches out of ten, of both the trains. Perhaps, now a days mobile has become a necessity for the persons below poverty line also. Hence, this is quite unfortunate,painful abd shamefull. We therefore, request you to initiate immediate steps with Railway Authority to provide atleast 4 mobile charging point in all the coaches.

we (18 persons) travelled from ratlam to mumbai central on 23/07/2011 by train no 12956 jaipur mumbai central superfast express in coach B1 to B5. the bed lenin given to us as well as other passengers was soiled and was being reused. my blanket smelled o[censored]rine and was also wet which clearly indicates that it was not clean.some blankets were torn.the bed sheets were soiled, not ironed,shabbly folded which indicates that they were used on the previous journey.the napkins were torn & not in usable condition.a person sitting with the railway police threathened us of trouble if we complained or demanded action,in front of the police.over and above the TC requested us to cooperate as it was INDIA & not a foriegn country where we could demand better services.we lodged a complaint in book no T 28 B/R 4 no 01 with the TC on the train but doubt that any action will be taken.

I reached Coimbatore with my wife from Bangalore at 12:15 midnight.
Absolutely there is not a single porter to carry my lugguage.
I took the items of my lugguage one by one from the platform
keeping my wife at the platform to keep a watch on the items while
I shifted my lugguage one after the other from the platform to
the cab in waiting at the car parking lot.
If the Station master can not take care of this then why can not
IRCTC provide some lugguage trollys.
Coimbatore is one station which suffers due to shortage of porter
not only at midnight but even during day times.

Dear Sir,
SUB: FIR for theft on train no 12577

This is to bring to your kind attention about theft on board Train No 12577 Train name - Darbhanga Bangalore (Bagmati) express on journey dated July 12, 2011. I along with two co- passengers Pratibha Sharan and Manju Sharan were travelling from Samastipur Junction to Bangalore Cantonment, having boarded the train no12577 on July 12, 2011. During the journey, near station Mugalsaria and Mirzapur, our hand bags (Camel Brown and Black in color Medium Size) having the items mentioned below were stolen from AC2 coach no A1 berth no 37,38 and 41( PNR Number [protected])on July 12 night 1.00 am when we were sleeping. When we noticed this, we wanted to report this incident to TTE and attendant in the night around 1.00 am, but the respective TTE and attendant refused to take FIR and instead advised to deboard from the train at next station which was Mirzapur and inform the incident to GRPF. Amongst shock due to theft, we were not provided support by TTE and attendant to register our incident.
Also TTE removed his name plate and when we asked the name he told his name is Mr. Bundel and the name of the Attendant is Mukund Jha.
At this juncture having reached at Bangalore station, I request to register this incident and take appropriate steps to recover our stolen hand bags with keys and document. I am attaching the copy of the travel ticket for your reference.

1) Cash 700 INR
2) Gold Chain
3) Pearl Chain
4) 3 Voter Id in the name of Kumar Ashok Sharan, Pratibha Sharan and Manju Sharan

DO THEY NOT HAVE TONGUES TO TELL THE PASSENGERS THAT THEY HAVE CAUGHT A WRONG TRAIN. WHAT CAN BE DONE NOW?? NOTHING! WHOZ AFFECTED?? INDIAN GOVERNMENT? NO! TICKET COLLECTOR?? OBVIOUSLY NOT! AFFECTED IS THE PASSENGER AND HER FAMILY! I AM WRITING THIS COMPLAINT SO THAT THIS COULD NTO HAPPEN WITH ANYBODYS MOTHER TOMMORROW!

Hi

I am here to voice out a 4 seperate incidents at the parking premises of bangalore city and yeshwantpur railway stations.

Scene I: Bangalore Railway Station:

I had hired a tempo traveller (tt) to drop a few of my relatives to the bangalore railway station on 8th july. We had to make 2 trips to the railway station because of the number of relatives. We were charged rs. 100 per drop as parking fee. A total of rs. 200 was collected from us by the parking authorities. The parking fee mentioned on the ticket given to us was rs. 50. When we protested the personnel dressed in plain clothes yelled back at us. We DID not pursue the matter as we were in a hurry.

We returned to bangalore city on 11th morning at 5 am. The same tt had come back to pick us up. This time a traffic cop who was on duty collected the extra amount. His explanation was that this is because the railway department has set these rules.

Scene II: Yeshwantpur Railway station
another set of relatives arrived at the yeshwantpur railway station on 12th morning. I waited at the portico with about 10 people who had come. The same tempo traveller came to pick us up. This time a woman dressed in what appeared to be uniform coat, gave us a ticket of rs. 50 and demanded rs. 100. When asked to give us a rs. 100 ticket she called another person (I think he was her supervisor). He made rude and harsh demands and asked us pay up. His explanation was that tts are not allowed on the porticos and a fine of 750 had to be payed by me. I had to let the tt move and stayed back to find out more about this. In this time, a traffic police joined the supervisor and told me that this is an "adjustment" as they are trying to help me from not paying the fine. When I asked for the ticket for the fine and the rules not being displayed on the premises, they had a heated argument with me. I was outnumbered and was bullied into paying the extra 50 rs.
Same loot repeated that night as the same tt went to drop off the passengers at yeshwantpur railway station.

While I was waiting I noticed that all people who came to drop their kins were being harrassed and victimised by these people. I demand that strict action be taken against them and help a lot of citizens in the process.

Dear sir,

Please note the following complaints :

1) 8.34 am borivali train leaving from Dadar comes before time & hence leads to missing of the train
2) Another 8.53 am borivali train leaving from Dadar halts at various places like before Andheri station, after Mahim station & hence the crowd is terrific.
3) There is no other Borivali local after the 8.53 till another 20 minutes & hence this leads to a huge no. of crowds & pushing when getting down at Goregaon station.
4) Many women fell from the train before the train halts at Goregaon, as the crowd is uncontrollable.

Request the Railway Members to please increase the local for Borivali after 8.53 am one.

Hope the same will be resolved at the earliest. This is a genuine request from one of the passenger travelling daily.

Hi

I travelled by 14034 - Jammu Mail, in first class on 3rd July 2011. I was so excited to be travelling by first class since this was my first time. This was an overnight journey and lo! I got bitten by bed bugs all over. We managed to kill three of them but god knows how many more were there. This is ridiculous. I think this will also be the last time I would travel by first class

Railways has many ways to cheat people. It is because most of the people are culprits from top to bottom only moneys works. Normal people are fools and no one dares to raise voice against these fraudster.

I have booked 4 E ticket between Mumbai Central to Ahmedabad on 20th APRIL 2011 with PNR No [protected] for AC Chair Car in Shatabdi Express where my booking status was CKWL 31,32,33,34 where only passenger 1 was confirmed and rest 3 tickets were cancelled automatically due to WL status & E-Ticket. After that I Have filled TDR for refund on 25th April 2011 which requires 90days time for Verification.

So the Reason I got from Railways was

"REGRET Dear Customer, With Reference to your PNR No:[protected], we regret to inform you that refund is not admissible as informed by Railways through their letter no : IPC/REGRET/10-11/91/21.6.11/WR and the reason being : 675-WR/38 For W/L Passenger(s) Original NTC (Not-Travelled-Certificate) was not submitted. The case is repudiated. In case you require any further assistance, please mail us at [protected]@irctc.co.in or call us on[protected] With regards, TDR TEAM"

To my surprise irctc authority says you haven't took NTC from TT. which was actually duty of TT to give this to travelling person. which was not given and the number mentioned on mail is also ringing no one has time to answer about my refund which is more than 2600Rs.

How hopeless people are rulling India and people or any government company which is for the people by the people is not working for them for which they were paid.

we are looking alot of time in local train - beggar and hinjra (guy or what), they confuse to people thoses are travelling in train, but nobody can't stop to these personalities in running train . begaing , abuse words, throw negitive feeling on people those are not support . everyday they pickup huge collection from local train. no tax on that amount . may be they given some money to govt"s person as like hafta.
dhanu to borivili , mostly going on this way.

borivili to charuchgate - why they not came, railway department know about all activities but they will wait for any accident related with these type of activities and then after they control.

so, plz do some thing and help local train people... poor people .. always going poor....so don't allow to cheat people, plz save poor people pocket...... they cheat poor man feeling in god or other.
aware by some progamme on every railway platform.
thanks
