Dear sir,
I.m a regular passenger of Magadh Express . On 07 May2011 I had planned to travel From New Delhi to Zamania in 2AC VIDE PNR NO. 231-7186293 and was waiting for the train to be positioned at platform No. 16 in front of 'Jan Ahaar' food stall, exactly at the same place a placard indicating A1 coach was lighting, thinking that this is the place where my A1 coach will be positioned. In fact more or less other passengers too were waiting as per signal indication of coach number. But to my surprise it happened quite ULTA and physically coaches were parked on platform 16 just opposite to the coach position indicators. As the train was parked on station passengers started searching their coaches, passengers who were waiting in extreme front their coaches were parked at extreme rear side of train. Every one was running to get to his reserved berth , in this bargain there was an extreme chaos and 'AFRA TAFRI' at platform No. 16. In fact it was just short of an STAMPEDE. Thanks to God nothing happened. In my previous journey from New Delhi similar situation happened and I had given an oral complain to a Railway officer who's office is at platform no. 16( Name forgotten).
THIS A CASE OF EXTREME CARELESSNESS ON THE PART OF NEW DELHI RAILWAY STATION STAFF. THIS IS HOW MAJOR ACCIDENTS ON PLATFORMS HAPPEN.
