Hardship in coaches when travelling

My name is Rajeev Kumar and i am the vice president of All Kerala Assocoation of Deaf and presently working in the District Panchayath Kasaragod, Kerala. I am a physically handicapped person and drafting this letter for your kind attention. When I was traveled from Ernakulam to kanhangad in Maveli Express (Date : 14.02.10 Train No.6604) I alreay had a reserved ticket (PNR No 431-4371010) in Disabled couch. As in aware disabled couch has 4 berth. But on that travel day I had a bitter experience while the travel. When train arrived at Ernakulam station, I can't even step in to the compartment, because the compartment is thickly packed with the passengers with ordinary tickets. In this situation i had approached a T.T.E in charge and he just ignore me and he asked me to go meet another T.T.E, I narrated my hardship, being a handicapped person like me to run towards the 9th compartment and meet another T.T.E but he asked me to complaint it to the Gurard. I couldn't do that, because i can't walk well and its not possible for me go to the Gurard room at the the last. Atlast i begged to the public in that boggie to consider us, but we got lot of i& shouting from the public, and they just ignore us. Because of this i came here at Kanhangad in standing in the whole night. Railway giving all these nominal concessions for us because we the people are physically handiapped. But we got clear ignorance from the railway officials. We also are human beings, and we request you to consider this letter in humanitarian ground and take adequate actions on this issue. I can know that a lot of persons like me have these same type of hardship in this coaches when travelling.
