Indian Railways regarding berth allotment

14th July

To
The Customer Complaint Cell
Indian Railways

Sir,

With reference to details attached below can you please explain how senior citizens aged 82
& 71 be allotted side upper and upper berths and how can such elderly people climb to reach
upper berths!? At the time of booking when the option of only lower berths is selected an error
message flashes stopping us from proceeding with reservation of tickets. I do not understand
as how side upper berths can be there in 2nd AC!

Can you please look into the matter and do the needful?

Regards,

Indian Railways misbehavior of attendant on 2nd ac coach

This complaint is about the attendant present in 2nd AC coach.I was travel ling in a 2nd AC coach on 17th August-2008 by Train no. 2722 (Dakshin Express) Coach A1.I boarded the train at Nagpur station. Once train started the attendant came and handed over the bed sheet, but didn't gave the blanket and pillow to me. I waited for that and later when he didn't turned up I went to search him, But I couldn't found him. I came back to my seat and fallen asleep. Later when I got up I again went I search of him but he was not present in the coach. Then I went to the next coach and found he was sleeping their with his friend. I woke him up and told about the pillow and blanket and asked him to handover it. But he was unmoved and started shouting. Later he told that he might have kept on the above seat and I told that I will check it and came back and after some time that guy followed me and took the blanket from the above seat and gave it to me and went back. I asked for the pillow but he didn't listened. Then I followed him to the place he was sleeping and told pillow is still missing then he again started shouting that its not his responsibility and he said go and file complaint if you want. Then I came back saying that I will file a complaint against him. After few minutes his friend came to my seat and gave one pillow but that guy didn't even bother.

I am writing this because in the morning when I got down from the train I forgot to file complain against that guy. But want that he should be punished. Because we pay so much for 2nd AC fair to have a comfortable journey and most of foreign travelers also travel by 2nd AC but if the attendant are so bad then it leaves a bad taste in the mouth. Please take action against that guy who was on duty that day if we want to improve services of Indian railways.

Dear All,

I have booked a ticket under Ladies quota and travelled by 2722 Dakshin Express on 09.10.2008 from Nagpur to Hyderabad as per details given below:

1) PNR No: [protected]
2) Train No: 2722
3) From Nagpur to Hyderabad
4) Berth No: S3/ 006

I was not provided any berth on the alloted seat. One person was already travelling by that berth. There were no railway personnel around - No TTE and no railway police. The person occupying the berth has abused me and I can put the unparliamentarian words he has used.

The TTE has not come to the S3 compartment even after I have sent a word to him through the railway catering Boy.

For two continous hours, the person who has unauthorisedly occupied the berth has been humiliating me.

There were another two unauthorised persons in the compartment who have been smoking without any break. These persons should have been booked by the law and should have been fined Rs 200/- for every cigerette/ beedi they smoked.

The railway police have come after 3 hours, and evacuated the unauthorised persons.

This pathetic situation allows terrorists to plant bombs and make trains catch fire and make lot of people like me to sacrifice their lives.

In this connection, I demand that
1)the railways take action on the concerned and compensate me for the mental agony caused to me
2)Pay me the fine that would have been recovered from the persons smoking in the compartment( by recovering it from the persons who are responsible for implementing it),

failing which, I will be compelled to approach through concerned channels for getting the grievance redressed.

Indian Railways theft in rajdhani

I was traveling from Hazrat Nizammudin (New Delhi) to Secunderabad on by Rajdhani express, Train no.- 2438 on 10th Aug'08. For the last one & half years I have been traveling by flights. Since the recent hike in flight fares, I booked reservation for myself, my wife & son in the Rajdhani express in II AC.
On 11th Aug'08 morning at about 5:20 am, we found that the handbag of my wife was stolen. This happened just before reaching Jhansi railway station (Our berths were inside berths, coach- A4 & berths 37, 38 & 39, PNR no.- [protected]). Since Rajdhani express is AC train the windows are not openable.
I approached the coach attendant & the TT. We searched for person who had stolen the bag. There was also such theft incident in coach A3 in the adjacent compartment. We tried to find any person getting down the train at Jhansi station, but nobody got down. After about an hour we came to know from the attendant that the handbag was stuffed inside one of the toilets in our coach.

The handbag was taken out from the comode. We had lost Rs 2000/- cash, two mobile phones (with no.- [protected] & [protected]), four spectacles, my wife's voter ID card, and the handbag (white colour) was also new worth Rs 1000/-. Totally worth Rs 7000/- belongings were lost. Since the handbag was in the comode, we had to throw away the same.

The train TT (A Sardarji) told me to put up an FIR at Secunderabad railway station. After getting down at Secunderabad station at 1:30 am midnight on 12th Aug'08 (Rajdhani was delayed by 8 hours on that journey) I approached the Railway stn. police station. They did not lodge the complaint/FIR. Instead the police officer asked me to send my application to Hazrat Nizammudin Railway station or Jhansi station. I had nothing to say but to leave to my home as we were tired after traveling for 30 hours.

There was no police/security personnel in the train. I felt that India's prestigious train Rajdhani express with no safety/security arrangement. I also understood that the theft was done by some of the train attendants and more doubt on the train electrician, because we saw him moving in the compartment around the time of theft. If this is the case, there may be such theft cases daily in the so-called Rajdhani express by the inside train railway staff and this might have already become a practice to them. The passengers have only to accept this as neither the TT, nor the staff & nor the police will support them.
I am not bothered about the lost things but the unsafe trains we are having, where the staff steals the passenger's belongings, when they are asleep.

I hope somebody will be able to bring this in control and the staff who are involved are brought to task.

Hi All, suddenly I came to this site till now I don't know about this site.
My doubt is, why you guys are complaining like this. You forget one big thing at here. You are dealing with so called government department controlled by lazy Indian government employees. Forget about your complaints. Nobody care about you. This is your no no our fate. We should go like this even after 100 years ...hehehehehehehe..

Indian Railways non performance of job by ticket checker

Dear Sir,

I am a frequent traveller from Gurgaon to Jaisalmer. I travel by Train Delhi Jsm Express ( Train No 4059 ). There are lots of people who travel daily from Delhi to Rewari/ Alwar by this train without ticket and they travel in reservation coaches. The people who travel with reservation do not get chance to sit on their own reserved seat. All the non ticket holder occupy seats and people get their seat mostly after Rewari. In the meanwhile, journy from Delhi to Alwar, no ticket checker comes to check the ticket and no RPF corp is on duty.

Even gents occupy all the seats of ladies quota and they alo use abusive language.

Please take some action against these serious problems in welfare of common people and make the train journey safe for all people and especailly for women.

Indian Railways first class coach

We commute by 1st class in train number 132 bharuch parcel passenger, but many commuters who do not have 1st class ticket or pass commute through 1st class and create a nuisance. The ticket checker never comes to check ticket and the chair car coach is also changed to a 3rd class sleeper coach. This is pathetic.

We a team of 14 members were travelling in Mithila Express on 24.12.2009 to Raxul and returning on 31.12.2009 from Raxul. We had so bitter experience that can not be expressed.
In reserved coach general ticket holders ( espicially in Bihar) entering in coach, making nuisence and behaving as if the reservations were for them. The RPFs and the ticket checkers were just like a doll.They were enjoying the situation.
The honable minister and railway boards are requested to do something against such nuisance activities. The threshold of Nepal is only Raxul

If there will be no step taken by railway authority within a specific time I will copy the same and paste more than 100 times.

The train was subsequently canceled by the Railways, and the passenger had to make alternative arrangement to return to Kolkata facing a lot of hardships with no co-operation from Railways. Till date I have not received my refund.

I sent the 1st e-mail to [protected]@irctc.co.in, [protected]@irctc.co.in, [protected]@irctc.co.in on 12th February 2008 at 11.45 am before the scheduled departure of the train and when it was announced canceled. At first you acknowledged receipt of my e-mails.

Till date I have been writing nearly every day, but IRCTC seems to have blocked my mail address and do not even acknowledge receipt of my mail now.

Dear Sir,
I purchased one e-ticket as detailed below:
1. Transaction id : [protected]
2. PNR No. : [protected]
3. From : HWH to PTRU
4. Date of Booking : 25.06.10
5. Date of Journey : 29.06.10
6. Name of Passenger : B PAL
7. Sex : Female
8. Age : 63 yrs.
9. Train Name : Shaktipunj Exp.

Before boarding from Howrah station I enquired at Enquiry Counter twice whether the train would travel through Patratu Station since it was learnt sometimes the said train was plying bypassing Patratu. But each time they confirmed it would follow its normal route through Patratu station.

At Dhanbad Station it was learnt the train would not go to Patratu and I had to drop at Dhanbad.
Now my questions are :

1. Why it was not announced at originating station the route of its plying ?
2. Why the TTE on duty did not make me alert to drop at Dhanbad?
3. Why Dhanbad booking counter / Station Manager refused me to refund Rly Fare from Dhanbad to Patratu?

I think you will understand the difficulties of a Sr. Citizen Female Passenger traveling alone and faced the above cited problems.

However, I again claim to refund the Railway Fare from Dhanbad to Patratu at the earliest.
Thanks,

Its bizarre that in north indian trains reservation compartment is also for general people. There is no authority to check this too.Also there is a huge menace of transgeneder persons and beggers. I feel too harassed after a comparatively short journey between Mumbai and Vadodara. So onwards i have decided to not opt for sleeper class.

My Ticket PNR No.[protected] and
Ticket No.[protected]

I booked ticket from Bangalore Cantonement Railway station for Thanjavur to Bangalore return for 4 persons.

They allotted one person in S6 coach and others in S8 coach. Then what is the use of booking in single reservation form for all the persons.
Then they allotted the Upper Berth for ladies aged 48 and 68 years and male 55 years old. They don't have no common sense while booking. The availability is not there, it is OK but still plenty of seats are avilable. Please look into the same and take necessary action.

Indian Railways fraud and cheating

I had bitter experience of traveling in Sealdah Rajdhani Leaving New Delhi on 14th Jun 2008. No glasses were provided with the water bottle. At dinner no veg dish was served. No salad was served. Chicken curry & dal were horrible.only two 1 1/2inch pieces of chicken were in the dish. No fruit was served in the breakfast.No tetra packed juice, instead loose pepsi in glasses was served. Why cant the private caterer display what is to be served to the passengers, as is being done by irctc.

Who is supposed to monitor that passengers get what they are paying for? It is no charity. It is all because it is a private caterer and all are gtg their share in looting the passengers. I had lodged a complaint with the Pantry I doubt if it will have any effect.

I had three AC- 3 tier confirmed I-tickets for train no. 2130 (PNR NO. [protected]) scheduled to depart on 21.8.2007 for travelling from Howrah to Durg. But due to diversion of route I had to perform the journey on the same date by train no. 2834 with freshly purchased seperate tickets. For cncellation of my earlier tickets and refund of money I made an application to the station superintendent, Durg (SECR) and I was issued TDR (NO. 137095 dt. 23.8.2007. The same was sent to The Chief Commercial Manager (Refunds), South Eastern Railway, 14, Strand Road, 9th floor, Kolkatta-700001. And also got the postal received from the concerned office.
But after a year I have not recrived any pay order from the above office although I made three reninder. Hopefully my complaint will treated in good sence and necessary action will be taken for refund of money.

Indian Railways making the train travel worse

Indian Railway department is showing all its negligence to wards Karnataka people. This is visible in all the actions and execution of Bangalore Mangalore train service.

1. The project of meter gauge to broad gauge took almost more than 14 years, where the initial meter gauge project itself completed in 15 years with construction 56 tunnel in the difficult western ghats of India. This shows that Central railway department is deliberate in delaying the project to facilitate the private bus owners to rule the route.

2. Finally the Mangalore Bangalore train service has been chugged off on 8th December 2007. But this was just an eye wash from the railway department. They are forced to start the train service which was inevitable because of too much thrust by locals from Mangalore and many social activists. So the only way that Indian railway officials can serve the private bus owners bribe is just to make a longer route so that travel by train will take longer than the bus journey. So they made a route via Mangalore-Hasan-Mysore-Bangalore which is more than 500Kms. Where actually the bus route is 360Kms only. Bus journey takes about 8 hours from Mangalore to Bangalore but train journey takes more than 12 hours and still not on schedule, may get delayed due to railway station masters their own reason. The promise of starting a train via Arasikere or Shravanabelagola is still under planning but just in word as it was before.

Today this was clearly visible in their view, i was traveling from Mangalore to Bangalore with my family. Train started at 7:45PM from Mangalore, reached Hasan at 3:00 AM. The reason was that in ghat section there was speed restriction due to rain. We reached Mysore at 6:30AM, but we reached Bangalore at 11:00AM, can you believe it? the reason was that since the train was delayed and out of schedule station master cant change the slot for other train and the train which is late has to wait until the track gets free.

In Ramanagar it was above people's patience and all started shouting at the station master. Train was stopped for about 1 hour saying the track is not free for the next one hour. But finally when people started shouting and came with complaint letter addressing higher authority station master made few arrangements to depart in 10 mins. I had a complete glance how the bribe money from bus owners works with Indian railway officials.

Being a common citizen could do nothing but please some representative take some action to improve the Mangalore Bangalore connectivity train service.

Indian Railways bad behavior of ticket checking staff

I will like to draw attention towards bad behaviour of ticket checking staff of IR as stated below. Today on [protected] i was to helping my sister in law to board in train no 9005 -saurashtra mail at Jamnagar station and took her to coach no S-5, with open ticket fro Jamnagar to Okha. There were plenty of vacant seats in this coach and with open ticket there was only additional fare of reservation charge was required to be paid, which my sister in law was going to pay when ticket checker asks her to do so.

However as soon as we entered the coach no S-5, railway ticket checker (with heavy body) yelled from out side the window that we can not board in this coach without reservation. We explained him that passenger will pay additional reservation charges and there are ample of empty seats in coach S-5.But ticket checker said no and forced us in another coach and misbehaved by talking in very rough manner and caused us lots of mental disturbance as there was not much time for train to depart as well as due to his bad behavior with us.

In above circumstances my sister in law boarded in another coach and she was totally disturbed due to bad behavior of ticket checker as well as she could have missed the train in view of above stated circumstances. I will like Indian railways to go through in this matter, by finding out who was that ticket checker in coach no S-5 and take necessary actions against him in view of above stated case.

I made private inquiry at Jamnagar railway station and have found out the name (i am not sure but probably) of ticket checker as Mr. V. Parmar, and was shocked to know that Mr Parmar is very famous for his bad behavior every now and then with railway passengers

I will like Indian Ralways to first to find out/confirm name of ticket checker in coach S-5 of train no 9005 at Jamnagar railway station (From mumbai to okha--train name--Saurashtra Mail) and carry out secret inquiry against this ticket checker for his famous misbehavior with passengers and take proper actions against him as soon as possible, if found guilty.

Indian Railways delay in train departure & arrival

Sir,

I am a regular traveler from Yeshwanthpur(Bangalore) to Mangalore. As per the train schedule the train should arrive Mangalore at 8.15AM.

I have heard from lot of my friends that train is not at all reliable regarding arrival timings and for the past month I have been a witness to it.
Last month boarded the train at 8:35PM & I reached Mangalore at 11:00AM.
On 4th May, train departure was half an hour late from Yeshwanthpur and arrival to Mangalore was 9:45AM.

Thanks & Regards,
Vikas

Being late for an hour or so is nothing new to Indian Railways, I was coming from Lucknow to NJP on 19/09/2009. The Amarnath or Jammu - GHY Express was to arrive to leave LKO at 3.30 PM, but the train arrived in the midnight at 12.00. and was to reach the next day i.e. 20/9/2009 at around 2.PM but it reached NJP only on 21/09/2009 at 10.30 AM. The train was running late by around 20 hours.

I was also to go to Guwahati on 08/10/2009 byRajdhani Express which was to reach Guwahati at 5.30 PM. The schedule Departure time from NJP was 11.05 hrs. But the train only arrived at 20 hrs and reached the next day that 09/10/2009 at 1.30 hrs.

i would also like to bring to the notice of higher authority of Railaways, if possible Ms Mamata Banerjee that corruptions is at heights in Ballygunj Railaway reservation counter making people suffer for over 7 years now. we are waitaing for something good to happen but only see bittering days; ticket brokers are openly being given 12 -14 tickets at a single go when legitimate people stand in que; people inside counters directly say that there are no tickets when internet reservation shows availability; when ordinary people stand in que - railway people inside are busy booking tickets for agents...

When Ms Mamata has done or is doing so good we would like to see her take some action against the reservation counter in Ballygunj, Kolkata and if still nothing can be done at least close this counter as this is otherwise of no use for general people beyond making a channel for some brokers to cheat people and tarnish her image.

My chain was stolen in Mumbai to Virar Area.FIR was inadequately taken by some head constable Babulal Singh .The report of FIR does not appear to be appropriat.The police was constantly asking to get down at Surat where as they are suppose to register the complaint.Ticket Checker on duty was also not very cooperative.
I have lost Rs20, 000.Moreover Railway TC and Railway Police refused to take FRI.
I request authorities to look in to matter. I quote the Railway Rules as under:
A Prescribed FIR Form is available in the Timetable or with TTEs/Guards or GRP escort. After filling it up, the Form may be handed over to one of the officials viz., TTE, Guard or GRP escort for registration of the report at the next Police Station.
This rule was explained to Railway Ticket Checker as well as Railway Police but they did not understand this.
Can some one help me in this regard.

This is to bring to the kind notice of the Railway Authority that it is very difficult and dangerous for ladies to get down from the fast train at Bhandup, as the platform is very low. Somebody may even go into the tracks, while getting down or my even fracture the legs.
Hope the authorities will give first priority to this and repair the platform to the level of the train.
Kindly take action before anybody meets with an accident.
Thanks in advance for quick action.

SUB: PUBLIC GRIEVANCES: COMPUTER RESERVATION CENTER AT VIKHROLI

Dear Sir,
This has reference to your letter no. BB/ADRM(S)/ Notes dated 5th March, 2002 by Mr. W.K. Prdhan, Additional Divisional Railway. Manager (Suburban), Mumbai CST I regret to inform you that you have not taken any interest regarding fast local halt as well as provision of Reservation Counter at Vikhroli Station due to traditional method of managing the issues in today’s era of change. However, we thank you for considering and materializing the suggestions like installation of PCOs at Railway Station. Computerized Season Ticket Window at Vikhroli (East) and installation of Coupon Validating Machine at Vikhroli (East) Booking Office. We, the residents of Vikhroli really don’t understand that your answer “Most of the locals get halt at Ghatkoper. since Vikhroli is the next station, It would not be desirable to have another half of the fast trains at Vikhroli.” is worth or meaningful, whereas most of the residents of Vikhroli are working class and middle class people always traveling by train, and it makes really a sense for an overly populated area like Vikhroli (Service Provider is Railway), if all fast trains halt at Vikhroli Station as well as there is no need of justification to provide Reservation Center at Vikhroli (as stated in your aforesaid letter) due to its varied-linked nature. Ghatkopar is considered as business class area whereas Vikhroli belongs to middle class area where travelers/consumers are striving to get prompt services. Computerized Reservation Centre is located at Thane, Mulund and Bhandup Stations which are alternate stations, then why cannot there be a Computerized Reservation Centre at Vikhroli Station? Computerization is really meaningful when number of data or services to be provided is abundant, i.e. more customers, consumers or travelers. This is a need of hours in today’s era. Please don’t ignore Vikhroli Suburban’s burning problem considering its day by day increasing wide-ranging consumers/residents. In fact, Computerized Reservation Centre is the necessity at all stations and it helps to ease the pressure during emergency. Since the whole setup is ready i.e. Computers and Local Area Network facility, only additions of Wide Area Network would serve the purpose for both the Railways and the Public (the why getting delayed?).
Forwarded for your kind consideration and necessary action on behalf of Vikhroli Residents’ Association.

Thanking you in anticipation

Indian Railways bangalore - kerala trains, influence of bus mafia

Either NO trains or NO stops!.
This is the real situation/issue of all the passengers who wants to travel from Kerala to Bangalore or vice versa especially on all Fridays and Sundays.

Let’s take a Friday as an example, train number 6315 Kochuveli Express will start from Bangalore City at 17:15 Hrs. Unfortunately now (Previously Yes) this train is not having any stops before Salem. No stops at Bangalore Cantonment, Bangalore East, Krishnarajapuram. (KR Puram)…

However, the train which runs on previous day (Thu) 2684 Bangalore – Ernakulam SF Express, in the same route, at same schedule is having stops at Cantonment and KR Puram.. Why…? Who will get benefited…Don’t ask such foolish questions…All the malayalees other than bus owners!

The moral story: Super fast train will stop at Cant and KR Puram but a normal express train will not stop…Why…because it’s a Friday…!
Kerala Bus Mafia Key Jai…
Kerala Bus Association Key Jai…
All Kerala MPs Key Jai… (Guess why)

Do you have any idea about the total number of passengers who are traveling from Bangalore to Kerala on Friday? Also, think about the total number of private buses operating in the same route. Where I will get the exact information about this?

There are more stories too…Once upon a time there was a train called Kannur – Yesvantpur Express used to stop at Banasawadi…..but …

YPR-KCVL GR (2257) will be only on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Sundays.

Sad part is that we have a junior railway minister from Kerala now, and he has partnership or interest in a private bus service which operates between bangalore and calicut. I am talking about E Ahmed and the Al hind travels.
As long as there is no visible protest against this situation this will continue. Ideally some political party needs to take this up and bring into the notice of people who are in power.

Is LDF/UDF hearing?

Heard the buslobby is smart enough to block all the railway tickets to kerala. The moment you see it is waitlisted, you may go for bus tickets. That is what they want. The bus mafia cancels all those tickets on the day before the travel..They lose 20bucks per ticket but will get 800 bucks business :))

Dear Sir,
I went to Agra to attend a marriage of my nephew on 26.04.2008 along with my wife. The return ticket was booked more than one month before the schedule departure by Utkal Express, (PNR no. [protected]) from Raja ki Mandi (Agra) to Roorkee. The scheduled time of Utkal Express from Raja Ki Mandi Rly stn is 11:05 Hrs.

On the day of the return journey, I enquired the position of train telephonically on nation wide Railway enquiry (139) at about 09:00 hrs. It was informed me that the train is running by 51 minutes late and will reach Agra cantt. By 11:55 approximately. It may be noted that the Agra cantt. Railway station lies before Raja ki Mandi. Before leaving the residence I again enquired the position of the train and I was informed that the train is 59 minute late and will not reach Agra Cantt. Before 12:00 hrs. Accordingly it was assumed that the train should reach Raja ki Mandi by 12:10-12:15 hrs.

I started from my residence at New Vijay Nagar Colony Agra, by 11:00 hrs and reached the Raja Ki Mandi by 11:35 hrs (before 40-45 minutes of the expected arrival as informed by the railway enquiry.

When I reached railway station, I was surprised to know, that the train was right time and it was never late on Board. I asked from the station master at Raja ki mandi. He said that It is expected that the information provided by Railway enquiry might be the position of the train at Jhansi, which comes about three hours before Agra.

I became upset. I have gone in the reservation queue. It was found that there was a lunch time between 11:50 hrs to 12: 10 hrs. I got the ticket cancelled by 11:33 hrs with a loss of Rs. 198.00.

Further on the advice of the station master, Raja ki Mandi, I purchased journal tickets (ticket no.
AB [protected]-65 at 12:52 hrs upto Delhi and got reservation from TT in SwarnJayanti super fast express.

In Delhi, I went to Bus stand, and got a bus and reached Roorkee by 3:00 hrs in the next morning instead of 07:30 hrs on the same night.

It might be notable that my wife has undergone from a major operation just before two months and she was not advised to take more excursions which was taken by him due to the fault of the railway.

In the light of the above, it is requested that the compensation may be made for poor service/wrong information provided by the Railway for the following losses.

1. Financial loss of about Rs.500.00
2. Physical exertion as well as mental torture especially for my wife who was not advised the same.

It is requested to kindly look into the matter and do needful for the same. It is also suggested that before applying Hi-Tech facilities it must be ensured that wrong information should not be providing.

Providing no information is better than providing wrong information.

Thanking you

Yours faithfully
