Trains with only SL/General coaches should be run as clones on routes where such overcrowding in trains is there.
However, recently, there was an incident in Patna Ranchi vande Bharat , where many people entered the coaches in name of being rail employees on election duty. They occupied seats of passengers with reservations and asked them to "ADJUST".....
I...
more... can recollect an incident from my childhood - In early 2003 , An old lady entered the lone 3AC Coach of the then Amritsar Jaipur Express (via firozpur) at Beas. She sat on our reserved side lower berth . She did not have a ticket of any class - when questioned - she told her son had asked her to just go and travel in AC coach. The TTE asked her to alight at the next stop , she refused and threatened to jump off the train . She also refused to move to the general coach of the train . She had some talk with the TTE near the coach vestibule. There was no RPF on the train and the TTE did not press her any further and quietly went away . She kept sitting here and there , on different seats in the coach - much to the dismay of the passengers . The coach attendant informed the next morning that she had deboarded at alwar .
This was the first incident of unauthorised boarding I had witnessed . So, this happens even in trains with sufficient sleeper and general coaches.
The issue of reduction of sleeper and general coaches , and lack of dedicated superfast trains/ clones with only sleeper and general coaches - is a serious issue that needs to be addressed ( Unfortunately Hon'ble rail minister had openly refused to acknowledge it) - but it's just "a part" of the problem.
People in some areas of the country have got habitual to committing offences like unauthorised boarding , with no one to stop them. And that is due to lack of vigilance staff / lack of will on their part to act - corruption is preferred over enforcement of regulations - ultimately encouraging such offences. Strict regulations and their enforcement is , thus, required.
So , a holistic redressal to this problem, taking all aspects into consideration , is need of the hour .
please wait...Translate to HindiSL/General coaches wale trains ko un routes par chalana chahiye jahan par trains me bhari bheed hoti hai.
Haal hi mein Patna Ranchi vande Bharat me ek ghatna hui thi, jahan par bahut saare log rail karmachari hone ka daway karke train me ghus gaye the. Reserved seat wale yatriyon ke jagah baith gaye aur unse "ADJUST" karne ko kaha.....
Main ek bachpan ki ghatna yaad kar sakta hoon - Early 2003 me, ek budhi aurat ne Amritsar Jaipur Express (via firozpur) ke ek akeli 3AC coach me Beas me chadhne ki koshish ki. Hume reserved seat thi, aur jab humne pucha to usne bataya ke uska beta bas usse AC coach me ghoomne ke liye bhej diya tha. TTE ne use agle station pe utarne ko kaha, par vo mana kar diya aur train se koodne ki dhamki di. General coach me jane se mana kar diya. Usne TTE se baat ki aur phir khamoshi se chali gayi. Subah ko coach attendant ne bataya ke vo Alwar pe utar gayi.
Yeh pehli ghatna thi jisme maine anari bhagwan ko dekha tha. Iska matlab ye hai ki bhari bhid wale trains me bhi aise ghatnaye hoti hain.
Sleeper aur general coaches kam karne ka issue, aur sirf sleeper aur general coaches wali superfast trains ki kami - ye ek gambhir samasya hai jise samna kiya jana chahiye (Kya pata rail mantri ne mana kiya) - par ye sirf samasya ka "ek hissa" hai.
Kuch desh ke log aise area me hain jahan unhe adhikar badhane ki aadat ho gayi hai, aur koi bhi unhe rokne wala nahi hai. Ye lack of vigilance staff / enforce karne ki ichha ki kami ki wajah se hota hai - ghuss khori ko badhawa dene ki jagah niyamo ka palan kiya jana chahiye. Sakht niyam aur unka enforcement zaroori hai.
Is samasya ka purna ilaaj ki zarurat hai, jisme sabhi pehluon ko madhya me rakha jaye.
