we have some experience with local trains here
there are 2 handicapped coaches on each train with 12 bogie
during peak hour- many non-handicapped enter an dmake their way in a journey
avoiding the crowds
someone complained to the secutiry commissioner of the city and word got
around
now there is periodic checking and offenders are warned
so in each city ensure presence and help of at least station manager or dial
100
surely there are other ideas to make a voice heard

This is because military is powerful and if they make a noise you can
hear the echo in the Parliament. Whereas if we make noise in front of
the handicapped bogi we would likely be shunted out of the platform.

do you feel that the coach is enough for all these people along with
reservation? if all the two lower berths are reserved for handicapped,
then wat is the status of other general ticket holders let us take
thisssisue with railway minister and other officials.

if u had the reservation ticket with sl1 reservation
it contains train number
date
and of course one needs certain communication skills to be able to
have a
constructive dialogue with the users of the compartment
the lower berth generally gets occupied by seaters and sharers
and then in the end it is used by the sleeper
so reserved ones take upper berth or keep bag there

Hello,
I traveled by handicapped couch from Howrah to Delhi by Poorva
Express
in
March this year. My reservation was not confirmed and so I had to
use
this
facility, in my fellow passengers' terms, at a loss. Anyway, what I
understood from the passengers and the RPF on Howrah station is
that if
you
have a handicapped card and a ticket in any form, you can travel by
this
couch. Escorts are also allowed in the same couch for the
convenience of
the
handicapped passengers. I think, berths in this couch are not
allotted
during reservation process.
With Best regards,
Amiyo Biswas.

hello friends,
i requested all the guard and railway police force. but no use.
because there was no chart on the compartment containing my
reservation details. even if there's any chart, how can we ask the
handicapped fellow men to vacate the seat? they too have the right
to
sit on the seats as well as other passingers. it is pity to note
that
it is totally irrelavant to make arrangements to reserve seats in
disabled compartment.

Folks (particularly from those in Bangalore):
I am specifically looking for at least one experience from

in
order to take my report forward. Though I can mention
experiences
of

in other places, it is highly important to get it from those
in
Bangalore as I have had a chance of speaking to the Divisional

since my

Kindly

There is no railway staf officially.
