This had happened with me on last Friday. I wanted to book the ticket in HP quota in dadar shirdi super fast train. There were 2 seats available in sleeper class. The booking clirck confirmed us before proceeding with booking. But as soon as she confirmed our booking. The 1 seat got confirmed. And my escort passenger got the general waiting list. However, the name of the quota was mentioned after the waiting list number as HP. E.g., passenger 2, gnwl 72 / quota HP.
We cancelled the ticket and the sad part is, despite cancelling it, the 2 seats were not released to other disabled passenger. Still it shows, 'not available' as status.

Recently, it was introduced in AC 3 tire also. However, they have changed norms for it, making it a difficult experience. Only the disabled passenger is given the berth and the escort is given wait listed, or RAC or whatever normal availability is there. Now it highly problematic as: 1. Escort is given seat somewhere else, maybe in another coach defeating the purpose of escorting in the train. 2. Many a times, no confirm berth is given to escort. 3. Both the seats are shown as blocked, even if only one seat is being given to the disabled, most probably normal waiting list is confirmed on the remaining seat, thus snatching the berth from HP quota. Maybe, railways has in mind to benefit more number of disabled by giving quota only to them and not to the escorts. But, escort is the genuine need, and Orthopedically handicapped persons are given tickets only with the escort. On the whole, it is totally undesirable, needlessly troubling the disabled, and we should vehemently protest. Now, it is the time for vehement action, if not violent action. सादर / With thanks & Regards राजेश आसुदानी Rajesh Asudani सहायक महाप्रबन्धक AGM बाजार आसूचना ईकाई MIU भारतीय रिजर्व बैंक Reserve Bank of India नागपुर Nagpur 0712 2806846 President VIBEWA Co-Moderator VIB-India A-pilll = Action coupled with Positivity, Interest, Love, Logic and laughter. ________________________________ Caution: The Reserve Bank of India never sends mails, SMSs or makes calls asking for personal information such as your bank account details, passwords, etc. It never keeps or offers funds to anyone.
