I will summarise my journey step wise and you can find many issues.
1. I booked a sleeper ticket (side lower birth) in New Delhi - Puri express (2815) from New Delhi to Gaya. It started on time but there was people who doesn t have the reservation borded the train and asked for slight space as they will get down at Aligarh in next 1 hour (as they said but it is more than 2 hours). Few gave them slight space but slowly there was no space to expand one s feet. Commuters are in hope that after Aligarh they will relax. If some body resisting, few are even mouthfalling.
2. TTE s just passing by without checking the tickets, whether they are genuine ticket holders or not.
3. At Aligarh station, they left and another lot of people/staff & police personnel came in, again they said same thing as it is a matter of 1 hour. After aligarh and till Gaya, it was mostly the UP Police staffs are encroaching the space.
4. At all the places at Fatehpur, Allahabad, MugalSarai, Dehri - same things gets repeated and it was virtually a no-reservation train.
5. I don t know what the TTE s were doing and whether they can do anything. This is a very serious issue but non is caring and is passing by.
The concerned authority must place a guideline for TTE s (what to do), UP Police (Where they should seat, should go to reserved bogies or not) and same for staffs.
I hope and wish there must be some action on it.
Thanks!
