Indian Railways
Non allotment of Berth

I have booked a ticket PNR No.6128137067 and Ticket No.53206663 on 25.05.09 Class Ist AC, Date of Journey 25.06.09 status W/L.1 journey from Bilaspur to New Delhi Train No.2823. The ticket was not confirmed but due to urgency I have boarded the train with a hope that W/L status no.1 may get a berth during the course of the travel. Unfortunately, I was informed by the TTE that no berth is vaccant. I had no option to get out of the train at Anuppur and next alternative stop available at Bina. The train reached at Bina 1.30 a.m and I was standing here and there throughout the night and struggled 25.06.09 and till morning 26.06.09 at destination.

On 26.06.09 I came to know that one VIP could not turned due to bad health but Mrs. VIP travelled alone occupied both the Berth Cabin-C (not alloted them as per the chart). I have checked the chart, Cabin C actually alloted to other passengers and not to the VIP's. Because of Mrs. VIP's approach, the Cabin- C (Husband & Wife) shifted to Cabin-A and another couples boarded from Bilaspur to Delhi was misguided by someone to shift to Cabin-A, (their actual seat Cabin-B) there was a verbal arguments between Acual Cabin C and Cabin B passengers (both were registered complaints on arrival) The TTE was not given complaint register to Cabin B passengers. I do not know why?

If the Mrs. VIP travelled as per the chart, the TTE could have allotted the berth to the W/L passenger too because one berth was completely vaccant. Is anyone can help me, I have paid Rs.2337/- for a ticket, I couldn't cancell the ticket at Bilaspur, honestly, I have travelled standing throughout the journey.

I am, frequent traveller Ist AC/ IInd AC. regards, Biju Daniel
