Sikkim Mahananda Express: AC Coach Overcrowded
Passengers of the Sikkim Mahananda Express were met with an unexpected and concerning sight recently as a tumultuous scene within the high-class first AC coach. Shared on the micro-blogging platform 'X' (formerly Twitter) by Swati Raj, the footage displayed a crowded corridor flooded with individuals lacking confirmed tickets, adding to the already tumultuous situation faced in train compartments.
A distressing scenario occurred within the first AC compartment, where numerous individuals without valid tickets occupied the passageway, leaving little room to move and causing discomfort to paying passengers. Expressing her dismay, Swati questioned the worth of the premium fare paid when the compartment was inundated with unauthorized travelers, disrupting the peace and comfort of those who had paid for their tickets. She emphasized, "This is the current situation of AC 1st tier in Mahananda 15483. I request management to check this immediately, as we are not feeling safe when we are paying extra for it."
The emergence of such incidents in the premium first AC coach, traditionally considered a haven for travelers seeking a more tranquil and comfortable journey, raises concerns about passenger safety, comfort, and the effectiveness of ticketing regulations. It underscores the necessity for immediate intervention by railway authorities to address the issue and ensure that paying passengers can travel in a secure and serene environment. Passengers and stakeholders alike hope that swift action will be taken by the management to rectify the situation, maintaining the sanctity and quality of travel experiences for those opting for premium accommodations on the Sikkim Mahananda Express.
