STATUS: TDR REPUDIATE

___________________________________________

Sirs
The repudiation of TDR is not justified and acceptable. This case is fit for consumer court.
Please note that the Southern Railway had failed to very that whether the passenger has really travelled in the train or not. What for TTEs are appointed to verify the genuineness of the travelled passengers in that train? The railways is not expected to come to the conclusion that every passenger can cancel the ticket before 30 minutes of the departure of the train .Internet problem and situation beyond the control of the passenger on that particular day.
Actually in my case I was preoccupied in consulting Urologist in Perambur Hospital. For one Health is paramount than other things. The System is not the human being and it is designed to exploit the travelling railway passengers. When other ways are available to check whether the passenger is actually travelled Southern Railway cannot jump in the conclusion basing on the system. Hard earned money of a Passenger should not be swindled by Railways like these inhuman methods.
Let me request the SR officials (Commercial department) to vary the genuine of the case and arrange for the refund.

      Address: Chennai Triplican
      Website: southern railway, Mambalam station, Chennai

      Yesterday I went to Mambalam by train around 11.AM. I got down at the Mambalam Station.
      I found a Leather Shop. I stopped I asked what is the price of a bag.
      I asked for a bag kept in the second shelf.
      The shop keeper mistook as that I asked whether it is seconds sales. He started telling obscene and unparlimentary words to me.
      I was shocked to hear such words.
      I request the Mambalam Station authorities and RPF of that station to take stern action against that leather products shop.
      His licence should be cancelled immediately.
      thanking you

          Hi there,
          I boarded the Lalbagh express (12607) on 11 January 2023. The train started at 3.30 pm from Chennai Central, however the train was delayed by approximately 7 hrs. No prior intimation of the delay was announced and route change was announced. Finally we managed to get some food in Salem and the rain reached Bangalore next day (January 12) 4.00 am.
          This is absolutely not acceptable, as we were traveling with 2 kids.
          Kindly take appropriate action and arrange a refund for the food expenses and for the inconvenience caused by the Indian railways.
          Refund amt:5000

            I would like to draw your kind attention towards the inconvenience that the people of Ambattur and working peoples are face the lack of a fast local trains bound chennai not stopping at Ambattur. because of non availability of Platform in fast line. There are more than people struggling who are going and coming various offices, schools and colleges in ambattur. The fast locals trains bound chennai stops at villivakkam, that is 6 km away from Ambattur. the people have no option except to hire auto rickshaw or to get another train or bus to that distance. which causes a lot of inconvenience and expending extra money and time.letter was sent many times in this regard to the railways headquarters chennai but no steps has been taken as yet.

                    Address: Aluva, Kerala

                    I am travelling from Thrissur to Aluva daily and using season ticket.
                    For parking at Aluwa railway station parking are, I was getting monthly pass for my two wheeler before corona.
                    Now all things changed back to normal and Railway allowed season ticket.
                    But the parking agency not giving monthly pass.
                    After reopening from Corona lockdown, its 7-8 months I restarted my travelling.
                    They are saying, already limit reached and can consider if someone goes out.
                    Actually that won't happen and how do we know that.
                    Everyday I have to pay the money in daily vice and wasting a lot of time.
                    There are so many people facing the same problems.
                    The parking contractor is behaving in a very bad manner.
                    Please consider and take necessary action if possible.

                                My name is D.Rajesh Kumar, today morning i went to pick up my relatives on car, i just waited for 20 mintutes in the car and returned from platform no.10, i heard Rs. 40 for parking fee for 1/2 hour.

                                The people at tollgate aruged and demanded Rs.200/- Reallly they hurt us verymuch, they treated us like their servants, as per rule they have to collect Rs.40/- for 2hours, why they have luted my hard earned money.

                                I need a reply for this complaint and also refund my hard earned money.

                                Please take it as a serious concern in this way your people are looting many of innocent customers like that.

                                Awaiting for your kind response.

                                Thanking You,

                                D.Rajesh Kumar

                                        Dear Sir,

                                        Yesterday I travelled in train from Coimbatore to Ambur along with my daughters. 3.15 PM Train (PNR Number - [protected]).

                                        Really I feel very disgusting to travel in the train, every were I found cockroach in the train, we cant able to sit in the seat, it is running here and there and climbing on us.

                                        There are small children's are travelling with us, they keeping the hands on the window and againg keeping the hands on the mouth.

                                        this will spread diseases to the small infants.

                                        please take the immediate action and control the pest please.

                                        Really really this was a very worst experience to me.

                                        regards,

                                        Vidhiya.
