not attached to the train. Instead, a general coach was attached with the train with the number 19096.
Despite numerous complaints, no railway official came to the rescue of the passengers and they were forced to travel in the general coach.
Sources in the railway said the AC chair car of the Intercity Express had been attached to Gomti Express. In fact, the AC coach has not been attached in Lucknow-Vindhyachal Intercity Express for past one week.
Train numbers 14209/14210 Lucknow-Vindhyachal Intercity Express has 12 coaches -- one AC chair car, nine general and two SLR coaches. But on Tuesday, the train had only 10 general coaches and two general coaches were attached in place of AC chair car.
Northern Railway public relations officer AS Negi said "I would be able to comment only after ascertaining the facts about the train."

I am afraid there is very little the officials can do. This primarily happens due to the poor occupancy rate.
However, you have already brought this to the notice of the concerned authority, lets wait for their version. Request you to keep us informed about the latest.
I hope you were refunded the difference in amount from CC to 2S.
