I sent repeated mails to [EMAIL PROTECTED] and tried to explain to them about it but there is no response from there side. in my opinion, these days, the photograph of the person concerned is generally pasted on the medical certificate. moreover, the concession certificate also has the photograph. this should be sufficient for the irctc to give the concession online. and while on journey, it should be made mandatory to have some kind of identity proof for ready reference. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dr. Vipin Malhotra" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, March 18, 2007 3:39 PM Subject: Re: [AI] Now book rail tickets through mobile phones
