'In My Train, Non-Ticket Holders Tore Curtains To Use as Mats & Sat on Floor'On March 15th, a passenger traveling on the Malda Town Anand Vihar Express (Train No. 13429) from Jamalpur, Bihar, to Anand Vihar, Delhi, experienced a harrowing journey due to overcrowding in the AC coach.

The lack of assistance from railway staff, including the TTE, coach attendant, and RPF, added to the distress. The passenger was unable to use the washroom for 10 hours and felt unsafe due to the chaotic environment. The overcrowding subsided only after the train reached Varanasi Junction, where most of the non-ticket holders deboarded. The passenger's experience highlights the recurring problem of overcrowding in Indian trains and raises concerns about passenger safety and the effectiveness of railway management.

Mere reserved seat pe ek aurat baithi thi, aur passage mein bahut zyada bheed thi, jisse toilet tak jaana bhi mushkil ho gaya. 10 ghante tak toilet nahi jaa payi, aur safe nahi feel kar rahi thi. TTE, coach attendant, aur RPF se koi help nahi mili. Yahi hal Bihar border tak rehta hai, aur ye bahut shameful hai ki ek expensive ticket leke bhi, aapko apna reserved seat nahi milta. This raises questions about the railway management.
