What's the issue with the Indian railways? Why are those with general tickets and unconfirmed reservations permitted to enter the sleeper class section? The overcrowding is severe. Many are forced to stand in the aisles, block the sink areas, and even the toilets are often occupied. This situation is problematic for passengers with valid, confirmed tickets as they can't sit or rest comfortably. Is there an alternative for middle-class travelers to have a more peaceful journey in this compartment? Some passengers simply board the sleeper class with their general tickets without concern, and it seems there's a lack of ticket inspectors (TTE) to monitor. Even if they do appear, many get bribed and just accept the fine, allowing the offenders to continue. It's both unsafe and inconvenient.
