Indian Railways — Local passengers travelling in reserved coaches.

Address:

Patna, Bihar, 800001

While traveling between patna and ara stations on 27th of june 2017, we found that atleast 40-50 local passengers got into our compartment, b2 of poorva express and sat on the reserved seats of passengers. The tt ran away, the railway guards couldn't ask them to get out. Even the train care taker didn't give us bed sheets in the fear that these local passengers would use them. I was later told that it's a daily practice and neither the train staff nor the passengers like it. However nobody wants to raise their voice in the fear that they have to do their daily duties and don't want to get into a brawl with the locals. It is my sincere request that a surprise raid be conducted on the route and law offenders be punished otherwise this practice will continue and travellers will continue to be harrased, might even result in serious consequence if an irritated passenger gets into a brawl with the locals.
