I and my mother had aboard the Kalinga Utkal Express from Sagar (M.P) to Bilaspur (C.G). As we entered the sleeper coach we were shocked to see so many unreserved passengers lying and sleeping inside the sleeper coach. It was very difficult even to walk or even place our foot on the ground. We were loaded with our luggage and locating our seats that to at such a time of 1:00 AM was a nightmare. Those who were sleeping on our berth, when we told them that this is our berth they misbehaved with us. What is very strange that all this tamasha was going in front of TTE who was present at the coach. Anyway we got our berth but there was no space to put our luggage. Hence, we put our luggage on our berth and tried to sleep any how but all in vain. Whole journey was disaster, at all station many where entering the coach without reservation. The coach was dirty, noisy, crowd and frustrating.
Then why should any body reserve their tickets, if they can travel more conveniently than those reserved ones. It shows our poor management, performance and dedication of railways. This was just one case we had lot more troubles while going and returning back from Sagar. One more thing I want to add Why we always had to change our train either at Bilaspur, Katni or Bina. Their should be regular and direct train from Durg to Sagar as the route is someways same. Sleeper coach has now became worse than the General ones, any body can enter the sleeper mostly those who has their nature undisciplined, rude, mannerless, very unfair showing their low class category.
