Sir,
I want to bring to the notice of the Railways authorities a problem being faced by travellers like me since a long time. There are many travellers who reserve their tickets, particularly in express trains. But the Railways authorities don’t publish the list of seats reserved on the reservation bogies. Earlier, they used to publish the list of reserved seats as soon as the trains arrived. Nowadays, this practice is not being followed; and it is creating utter confusion and chaotic situations because the people won’t know that certain bogies are reserved and they enter such bogies and sit there thinking that they are meant for everybody. After sometime, the people who have actually reserved their seats come and ask the earlier occupants to vacate their seats. Now unreserved people have to vacate their seats and can’t go to other bogies which would have got filled by that time.
In order to get rid of this problem, the authorities have to bring back the system of publishing the list of reserved seats as soon as the trains arrive in the station. This will allow the people, who have not reserved their seats, to occupy unreserved seats and travel peacefully and comfortably to their destinations.
