We had e-ticket from Delhi to Jodhpur Dt. 13.05.2010 in Malani Express. The Ticket Checker demanded for an photo id proof of 10 year old child. We had shown him the Photo id proof of the Father of the so child but the TC instead of corporating with us misbehaved and made his e-ticket as travelling without ticket and issued a new ticket with penalty.
We need a refund of the so ticket made.

Sir,

This is to bring to your notice that the food served in 2703/2704 Falaknuma Express from SC-HWH-SC is completely Veg. There is no option for N-Veg food and furthermore the food quality is worst ever than it was 3 years back. Once I asked one of IRCTC Boy and to my surprise what he told is as follows:-
"Sir, the owner of this catering is a Vegan so still he is here no N-Veg is to be supplied".
