Hi, Sharing one similar incident happened with me in end of September, last year when I was coming back from Siliguri to Kolkata. It was very first time that I had got reservation in coach for Disabled. TT and guard checked my tickets along with disability certificate like I had committed a sin traveling in the coach. During journey, whole night TT and Guard boarded unauthorised passengers in the coach without tickets and charging Rs. hundred to two hundred according to distance of destined station. Due to the mess, I was not able to sleep properly and passengers were sitting on my birth with full authority. Even I was scared for my luggage because in that I had kept all of my original certificates. Many passengers were quarrelling with Guard like co-passengers of any local bus or general compartment of Railway. When the situation got worst, and it was around two hours left to reach Kolkata, I called my family and told them to come on station with our lawyer so that I can register complain against the Guard and TT. The conversation was heard by Guard and he got scared and started apologizing for the inconvenience. Here especially I would like to mention that in the particular coach one disabled passenger from Railway itself was traveling. Finally, I reached to Shyaldah station with the Guard’s promise that he would never repeat such misconduct.
