[Resolved]  Irctc — Reg: Train Name: MAQ Vivek Express/22851 - Non Availability of Seat for Reserved Birth

Address:

Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu

Recently we visited Tirupati Temple by train and on our return trip we came by Train Name: 'Vivek MAQ Express' Train No: 22851 Class: Sleeper. But to our shock, the coach was already full with Youths and People of Northern States, they were occupying the whole reserved compartment although they did not have any reserved or general tickets. There was no TTR or Railway Crews to pour our grievances. Showing our reserved tickets we managed to get two sleeper seats for our 7 members. The students and boys around 80 numbers were inside the single reserved sleeper coach and they didnot even respond to reserved passengers. This as raised an important question as to whether we should reserve railway tickets for our journey or we may choose bus or other mode of transport ? Usually on recent various train trips, no TTR was seen in our entire journey time. The youths were sitting all over the coach, particularly near the entrance of the toilet which made embarassing for women in the compartment. The ladies inside the compartment were not able to attend natures call due to the presence of boys so near to the toilet throughout the journey. In Future, TTRs should be recruited at the earliest to avoid loss of revenue occuring due to prevalance of passengers without tickets. The Railway authorities should ensure that every passenger getting down from a train has a ticket.
