But it is observed that during the last few days, the Circle Members have been discussing much about the reserved compartments on various aspects including towels, napkins etc. It is also our responsibility to look into the fate of unreserved passengers who are limited to just 4 bogies generally in express trains, at 2 bogies either end of the train. They have to run helter skelter on platform to find their end bogies. Especially, during night times, the bogies resemble like dead bodies fallen in the war field. There is no space to keep our feet to move within the compartment either for boarding, or alighting, or even to go to toilets. The toilet areas are also filled with people or luggage. It is like a punishment to board trains in general compartment. For short distances of upto 100 to 150 KM travel, they can not afford to travel in reservation system, nor the tickets are so easily available. Is it that they have done any sin in this birth or previous birth? Let us not forget the common man (or poor man) in our society. Even TTEs do not dare to enter general bogies to check the tickets, because they are afraid of public abuses. In course of my travel some times, I have seen, the TTEs / RPF persons (in civil dress) collecting their monthly fixed bribes from the petty vendors who were travelling regularly for their livelyhood without any season tickets.
