the garib rath concept introduced by the railway ministry is understandable by them only.
we travlled during august from bhuwaneshwar to hatia and were shocked with the attitude of the attendent distributing bedrolls. firstly he was giving it at a price for which we did not even get any receipt . we complained to the tt but even he could not do anything.
secondly there was a stampede for getting the bedrolls as everytime the bedrolls are lesser than the number of passengers and is given on first come first serve basis

. if u r travelling for the first time there is no one to tell u about it .
why cannot the coaches carry enough bedrolls to cater to all seats of the coach and why do they have to haress passengers by creating a demand supply hoax.?
why cannot the attendent come to each seat and ask if they want the bedroll or not and charge at the seat and give a receipt ?
why do indians have to fight for basic things in life always?
why cannot the railways create a better and practical approach to the bedroll problem and do away with the small thinking stratedy of creating stampede for the bedrolls.?
in an ac coach everyone needs a bedroll so the authorities should provide to every passenger and not think that today there are lesser passengers so the bedrolls are going waste ? after all the bedrolls are generating revenue for the indian railways so then why should they not provide it to all.
it was a sorryful state and i must say that the government authorities believe in making the common indians run around to get even the basic things in life.
is mamta banerjee listening ?

This if for the information of railway passengers:
Railways collect money from contractors to sell their services to Passengers just like mobile catering service. Railways will not pay any amount to contractors.

Thanks !
First time I purchased an e-ticket (PNR 262-8175087) to travel by AC III Garib Rath Exp. from Kanpur to Mughal sarai on 7th Nov 2009 which surely i m proceeding forward for canellation.
Luckily, I read all about the facilities before boarding the train otherwise I have to repent for my decision in regard to travelling unknowingly under pressure or at mercy of coach-attendent responsible for making cheerfull or perfect ruining the mood of traveller besides risky stempede scenario due to unpleasant way of distribution of bedrolls that too without

Now the thought has been executed voluntary and I m free of any scene worth nuisance by attendent, in the process of serving bedrolls and non-issuence of reciept against any hidden charges i.e. Rs.25/- or wtever, during travelling by boarding in train by name Garib Rath Express.
Now cancellalation of PNR No : 2628175087 is completed.
Though I lost Rs.100/- in the process but convinced with full satisfaction !
