HEY !!!
WHATS THIS ??? UR RIGHT A TRAIN. Gets you all excited about the journey and vacation.......... doesn't it??? But it gives me blues.... why? I'd like to share that experience with you all.....
The last summer I had been to Delhi for a vacation . It was fun !!!!! I dint know how the 2 weeks had passed . Finally it was time for us leave ,as our journey was not preplanned we did not have our return tickets . So,we thought to get the tickets in tatkal . I hope you all have heard about the scheme started by the IRCTC department of India... that is nothing but the TATKAL SCHEME.
Under this scheme-For passengers who plan their journey at short notice. These tickets can be booked over counter and on the internet .Tatkal Booking starts one day in advance (reduced from 2 days) excluding the day of journey e.g. for a journey on 10th counters will open at 10 am on 9th.To get a ticket booked by tatkal one must carry his/her copy of identity at the time of booking the ticket and also during his train journey. Government of Indian Railways have started this scheme for the public wefare.
So we decided to go to the station at 7 o clock -it dint work out , because they was already long queue ....Then again we decided to go early on the next day . But to our bad luck it didnt make any difference on that day also we couldn't get the tickets .. and we also tried to book tickets online but was of no use .. and then when we went to the station again an agent asked us around 1000 rupees just to stand FIRST IN THE QUEUE?? ...and who on this earth will pay him just to stand front in the row and even after paying him the amount we'll not be sure to get a ticket .....a week passed like this and i felt like i'll never return to Hyderabad..
Then,somehow we managed to get the tickets and came back to Hyderabad. I had to miss a week in my college ....
TRULY, I CAN NEVER FORGET THIS JOURNEY......
now look at the tired ME!(near the pillar)
Then i cam to know about the tatkal scam !!! I couldn't believe it!!
WATCH IT .............
TATKAL SCAM EXPOSED BY CNN-IBN
We all common passengers try hard to travel from one place to another and all these people try to cheat us!!!
To curb this problem the government proposed that scrapping the Tatkal ticket sales at counters and allowing only e-reservations and changing the timings for the Tatkal ticket booking to avoid overlap with booking times for normal tickets are also under consideration . Sources in the Railway Ministry say a decision on the measures to be adopted will be taken soon. Earlier measures to streamline the Tatkal system like allowing only two tickets per person, disallowing change of passenger names after booking and stricter cancellation rules don't seem to have worked in eliminating touts...
HOPE THAT THE GOVERNMENT DOES THE NEEDFUL AT THE EARLIEST!
