Dear Concerned,
It is really unacceptable the way corruption is getting at its peak day by day.Feel very ashamed to be called the citizen of this country.I am trying Rail ticket from last 3 days from Bangalore to New Delhi 1st day i tried on IRCTC.But no luck after 8:04 the waiting was 23.
2nd day went to nearest railway station stood in line at morning 5 but no luck.
On 3rd day i went around 2 AM with my friend and their were same people from 2nd day who got confirmed ticket were sleeping there in line and some 2-3 of there handlers total around 50 people.Nobody from them was standing there in the line at 3 AM. We were around 20 to 25 people standing in the queue.One of the guy came there at 7 in the evening after some time one of the handler called someone on phone.After short time some RPF guy came there with sticks and started shouting on us and said that you should leave and all that crap.But nobody left and we stood there nearby Now around 6:30 a guy in civil dress with 4 RPF personals and he had stick in his hand made some signal to the handler and the handler along with all 40 people ran there to make the new line.All the 40 people were from the agent.Nobody form them had to go anywhere. Around 7:15 gate opened and all agent entered in and got there token .Ticket counter opened around 8 and they all got ticket at first.
Like last 3 days i didn't got ticket along all the people who stood with me in the line.The guy who came there last night at 7 also got the WL.I mean all RPF guys know what is going and all people from ticket counter (Railways) must be knowing the same as they are giving the ticket to same people daily.
I came outside and asked a handler to help me. He told me to get at the counter and get any WL no.And he will be giving me a confirmed ticked.So i provided him the document/Money (1300) 750 Tatkal and rest was his fees..And next day the guy given me the confirmed ticked with the same PNR.
Now how a common man will book a tatkal ticket in this situation.I mean this is happening on daily basis and nobody is doing anything about this.I know the agent people must be having some financial issues they must belong from poor family and need money but at the end people are getting sufferd.Need some kind of action on this.Heard about the same kind of incident Chennai.RPF people and the railway people should be suspended who are supporting this kind of irregularity.
Thanks & Regards,
Shivesh Kumar,
A COMMON INDIAN
