Split allotment of berths booked by irctc

Sir,

The online reservation form says only one passenger needs to carry the id card. How do we manage with one id card (which is registered in the ticket) when my wife and I are booked in 2
different compartments as wide apart as S1 and...

Safety of Woman passenger

On 11/3/2008 I travelled by the Pandian Exp. from Chennai. I happened to come across an incident in coach no.S9 which is not only unpleasant but also explains the insecurity of a woman traveling in the Train.
When the train was between Tambaram and Chinglepet a man, in his mid twenties, started mis-behaving with a lonely lady co passenger. He was in inebriated state and spoke all sorts of filthy language, abusing the woman who...

Suggestion

I write with reference to Train No. 6203 Tirupathy Express. It has a First Class compartment and as soon as the train reaches Perambur all types of passengers rush in pushing away bona fide passengers. On the last ten I occasions I never saw a TTE visiting the compartment. I propose to Railways to replace this with an AC Chair Car regulated by a TTE.. This will improve passenger convenience and prevent loss of revenue to Railways....
