The strange rules of trains troubled the common people. After the confirmed tickets are finished, Railways issues thousands of gift tickets every day. But it also charges people a heavy fine for traveling on this standby ticket.
.
Not only that, besides collecting a fine from the passengers with the gift cards, they are also dropped to the next station along with the luggage. This rule of railways is now strongly opposed. Many social organizations also submitted a written complaint about this. When the Dainik Bhaskar team investigated the waiting list of trains running from Raipur to Mumbai and Delhi, many shocking information came to light. The waiting list on Durg-Udhampur and Samta Express running from Raipur to Delhi crossed 100, while the waiting list on Howrah Mumbai Mail and Hatia Kurla crossed 50.
Railway officials say many people cancel their journey before leaving the train. For this reason gift cards are given. The railway officials are not saying anything as to why a fine is charged after giving a gift card.
People are forced to travel
90-95 passenger trains per day pass through Raipur railway station on Mumbai-Hora route. As soon as summer begins, the number of passengers on the trains increases. In the peak season, the number of passengers traveling from Raipur increases from 50 thousand to 70 thousand. In summer and in season the waiting list exceeds 200. People take gift cards out of compulsion. So somehow the journey reaches homes. Officials say if people board the train without validated tickets, other passengers face problems. This arrangement was made to avoid inconvenience to approved cardholders.
Passengers travel with gift cards. In such a situation, people with accent credentials complain incessantly. For this reason steps are being taken. Vikas Kumar Kashyap, CPRO
