Complaint by: Mahendran on November 9, 2010, 11:45 pm in Indian Railways

Sir,

I was travelling from Coimbatore to Trichy with my wife and kid of age 1 year(Mangalore express-6108) on 8th November 2010. Seat no 15 and 22 in S8 were alloted for us. 15 is lower berth(side) and 22 is upper berth. Since my kid feels sleepy I asked the lady who was sitting in the seat no 16 to go up, but that lady and her relative started to make conversation. And afterwards TTR told that there is a rule that the berth should be used from 9 PM onwards only.

If this is the rule in Indian Railways, then why you should mention SLEEPER CLASS, and SECOND SITTING CLASS. What is the difference between this?
And, also we are paying high to relax and travel, if it is not then why are you getting high pay?

My question is,

1) if a passenger starts from Mangalore by 11 AM and he/she is travelling, is that so he/she should not use the berth for sleep till 9 PM?

2) Why you are booking sleeper class in the day time train?

3) Example, Guruvayur express comes to Trichy at 2 PM and reaches Chennai by 9.30 PM, if a passenger must follow your rule, then does he/she should sleep only half an hour??

4) We can see, loaded advertisement boards in front and around why don't you STICK THE BILLS for such a hard rule?

5) We can hear in the station Happy journey, when a passenger travels after 6 AM and before 9 PM, it won't be a Happy journey for him, it will a Horrible journey.

If the rule can't be changed, kindly stick the bills in the compartment, so that the passenger will not argue each other.

Hello sir/mam,
I am travelling from raipur to mumbai and having a lower berth...i boarded the train at 11 am and sat for around 3 hours even though i am having a headache...but there is a guy who was sleeping at upper birth for those 3 hour...when i started to lay down at my birth he came down and arguing that he wants to sit and i can’t sleep during daytime...also i asked him that allow me to sleep in upper birth but he refused...what kind of rule is this??
Upper birth people can sleep anytime they want and sit at lower at day time...this is totally biased...just change this rule...or else everyone has to suffer..

Sir I reserved four tickets from vijayawada to hyderabad. All were given in the same compartment. It's around 12:30 pm and a guy has kept his middle birth intact and sitting on it. When I asked him to come down, he refused and causing us a lot of trouble throughout the journey. We had to sit bending our heads. Want to lodge complaint.

Sleeper class should be used at anytime. People like who are doing nightshifts and travelling in daytime must sleep daytime only. There is no option. In this case I totally disagree with this rule. And I suggest to consider this point. So that people can have peaceful and happy journey.

Sir,
In sleeper class, for long travel. People are sleeping upto morning 10:00 am. And again after lunch, they are sleep from 2:00 pm to 5:00 pm. But if this rule is follow strictly for sleeping from 9:00 pm to 6:00 am. Then I think Railway has to remove middle birth in sleeper class. And local journey people also travel and sit in sleeper class. Which TTE supported.

Same situation I have faced in train. My wife is pregnant and I have one and half year kid. I have 2 tickets. One is lower birth. my wife and my baby wants to take rest and sleep in a day time. My co passenger not adjusting the seat and they don't want to leave my seat. We have to complaint on government railway system regarding this.
Why government charging higher rates for sleeper class. Y don't they charge second sitting rates on sleeper in day time
