Indian Railways claims not to increase the fare for last 8 years.
a. Railway introduced all trains to be superfast with 20 to 40/- surcharge on each ticket.
b. Indian Railway marked 50% to 60% seats under Tatkal- thus hoarding and increasing fare by 250 to 300 (100 to 200% fare hike.)
c. Indian Railway removed all limits on WaitListed tickets( previous limit was 500) so that Indian Railway earn from harassed public travelling on WL tickets cancellation fee or tickets fare- even when Indian Railways will not give seat as it sells all hoarded seats, under various quotas, under Tatkal system, with premium.
d. Indian Railways introduced commission based penalty and so TTE writes penalty ticket on platform itself- mints money for himself and Railway both- against rail rule.
e. Lalu Yadav, Rail minister had told parliament that public's seats will not be disturbed for Tatkal system and a different Tatkal coach was attached but finding Tatkal profitable, now 60% seats in Garib rath are sold at premium, under tatkal system, besides 20% are hoarded under 44 types of Rail quota and thus forcing public to pay -for tatkal and WL cancellation both. - 2proged approach to loot public by public organisation to keep their master happy is not commendable.
Stop hoarding and Tatkal please and cancel the cancellation fee when we/Railways cancel WL ticket.
Several mails to Public grievance system including ministry of Railways; [MORLY/E/2011/04661 ]; Department of Justice[ DEPOJ/E/2011/00304] ;Department of Consumer Affairs [DOCAF/E/2011/00682 ]; Department of Legal Affairs, Monopolies and Restrictive Trade Practices Commission (MRTP) could not help and matter is closed with report- This is policy matter.
Is hoarding a policy matter?
When DLF hoards-CCI fines 600 crore or if onion seller hoards police raids.
Can u stop hoarding by Railway ?
Several people report the issue but Railway, under poor officers, work against public as they themselves don't face the hardship of common man.
Moneylife magazine, consumercomplaints.in, youtube, star news,CAG(Economic times) all have complaints against Tatkal hoarding.
Can MRTP do something? Can Public Grievance system show its worth, who are drawing heavy salary for being IAS?
Stop hoarding by PSU under garb of Tatkal.
