Pass holders denied seats on trains

I am a daily commuter on the Mumbai-Pune route. I have been travelling by the Indrayani express for years. However, ever since the train has been extended to Solapur, we the daily travellers have been facing bad days. People without ticket board the train and sit on pass holders seats. Some of them buy ordinary tickets and travel. We have to constantly argue and fight with these ignorant people to no avail. What concerns me is that TC's do not come to check tickets. What is the railways doing? How many complaints do we have to submit. For every MST seat there are 2 pass holders and if ordinary people sit then where do we go? Are we supposed to stand everyday?
Something needs to be done. I don't know what railway minister and authorities are doing. Travelling like animals is not the way. There were hardly 2-3 trains for Mumbai Pune, now that has also gone. Railways should understand that quality and not quantity is important.
Some rules need to be followed. Otherwise make travelling free for everyone. Why should I pay for a monthly season ticket while someone else traavels free and gets a seat.
All you useless railway officials and ministers, I suggest you do something or else give others an oppurtunity to ensure results.
