Indian Railways — entry into reserved coaches after 10pm on enroute stations

Address:

637408

I am a frequent traveller between rasipuram and tirunelveli comoning under southern railway, [ rasipuram (Rasp) falls under salem zone]. I used to travel through train no.:17235, which arrives at raspat 22.45 hrs and leaves at 22.46 hrs (Scheduled time)
The problem is the doors for all the reserved compartments are invariably locked inside. The reason given by the conductors is safety of passengers luggage during night hours. Good reason and acceptablr. But how the passengers waiting for the train to get in.? No answer from them.
The ttes knows from the chart they have, which are all the compartment the passengers are due to entrain, and keep the doors of those compartment open at the arriving time. The halting duration is just one minuite and with in this short period the passenger with their luggae has to get in. The condition of aged people is still worst. I feel the ttes are the man problem of this complaint.

Kindlly ensure a system for the waiting passengers to comfortably get in to the tarin.
