Recently, numerous railway passengers have been turning to social media to highlight the concerning state of trains, plagued by overcrowding and the presence of ticketless passengers taking up seats.
A passenger, who booked a seat on the 2nd AC coach of the Kashi Express, shared his disappointing experience, revealing that numerous ticketless passengers had taken over the compartment. According to the passenger, these individuals not only blocked access to the washroom but also crowded around the coach’s doors, hindering the proper functioning of the AC system due to the open doors.
