Hi friends before cupple of weeks I was traveling from my place to Delhi with my cousin. My waiting list ticket couldn't be confirmed in AC chair car therefore we decided to board handicapped coach. But when we reached at the end of the train we saw that handicapped coach was full of nondisabled as usual. We tried to seek help from guard in adjacent compartment, he was very busy in his personal business while talking on telephone, after our repeated demand he turned to us and asked the problem, we asked him to vacate the handicapped coach, but he outrightly refused and showed his inability to do so. Then I asked a RPF personal standing nearby, but he also refused to do any thing unless guard gives him note of doing so. I asked the guard that I am going to complain regarding it and your inability. At the same time I did complained with the train number and station where it was standing to number 9717630982. I dont know what happened with in 5 minute, guard called RPF personal and said to him that I am giving note to u and vacate the coach. Then that RPF jawan with in 5 minute vacated the coach using force, surprisingly there was only 1 PH sitting in the coach. Friends now what happened at the next station that guard came to us and asked me my certificate and ticket, I gave him and he took it to his compartment. He did not returned it untill we reached Delhi, when I approached him to take my certificate then he very strongly said to me that it is not our duty to vacate the coach and in future never complain. I said to him that I know it is under your jurisdiction, if it is not why you are caring of the complaint? I said, let me follow my own process if it is not ur duty then why u r worried? I left him with this hot discussion and warned him that I am very well aware of my rights. This complaint number is of Delhi, may be in other circle other number working.
