It has become a regular practice of sleeper coach tc (tte) to allow commutors in the sleeper coaches without valid sleeper class fair tickets. For allowing this kind of illegal act they charge from Rs.30 to Rs.50/- This amount is received without issuing any receipt or even taking the legal fair difference. Also while doing so they won't care to see the availability of accomodation. This causes a sever inconvinience to the rserved sleeper class passengers particularly ladies who can not even reach the toilets or behave freely in the compartments. The concerned staff doesn't even attened the coach while the passengers Board or Get down the coach at the stations. All such running staff occupies ths A.C. coaches. In the night hours also they are absconding from the duty coach.
Many a times I travel the Nandigram Express flying between Nagpur & Mumbai CST. The type of sinario is a daily affair. The railway staff is making thounds of rupees from the illegal sleeper class passengers by allowing them to travel in the coaches. Such an incidence was ex[erienced by me on 12-07- 2009 when I was travelling in coach S-4 in the train. When I enquired the concerned staff I was told the name as Mr. Mohan & Mr. C.V.Rao. They were receiving the amounts from the individual passengers for allowing them to travel in the sleeper coach without sleeper class tickets & also without availability of vaccant seats. Also they allow the Monthly pass holders to travel in the sleeper coach. They are so much careless & seasoned staffers that they said nothing can happen evenif any body complains. "Ye subkhuch to chalta hai " was their answer. When talked of the inconvinience they simply neglected & continued their collection of money. It is my request to the concerned railway authorities & the ministry higher ups to look into the matters of such illigal acts of the staff & take necessary actions against the staffer like the two mentioned above. These two are the example of such staff. There are many more in the railways. If the authorities & the ministers are real representatives of people at large they should take some strict steps to curb such tendencies who are avoiding their duties & promoting illigal acts every now & then. It is my request to the conern authority to look into this kind of problemes as one day or the other they will also be like me & will have the similar experience.
