दिल्ली के तीन हजार जनरल यात्रियों पर महज 300 सीट

There is a severe shortage of general class seats for passengers traveling from Gorakhpur to Delhi. Only 300 seats are available for approximately 3000 passengers traveling from seven districts of the Gorakhpur-Basti division. Passengers are forced to either pay a penalty to travel in reserved coaches or return disappointed. Despite the...

high demand, neither general coaches are being increased nor new trains are being added. The situation is expected to worsen during upcoming holidays when passenger volume increases. Gorakhpur Junction sells around 3000 general tickets daily for Delhi alone, while only three general coaches are available on the Gorakhdam Express. Passengers struggle to find seats even after waiting in long queues under the sun. The situation is similar for other express trains running to Punjab, Mumbai, Pune, Surat, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, and Secunderabad. The number of air-conditioned coaches is increasing while the number of general coaches remains limited at two to three. Gorakhpur Junction operates 16 express trains daily, with around 150 air-conditioned coaches compared to only 60 general coaches. Despite the limited availability, around 20,000 general tickets are sold daily, with the situation being worst for Delhi and Mumbai. While multiple express trains run to Mumbai, only the Gorakhdam Express connects Gorakhpur to Delhi.

Gorakhpur se Delhi jaane waale general class ke passengers ke liye seat ka bahut bada shortage hai. Gorakhpur-Basti division ke sat districts se aane waale 3000 passengers ke liye sirf 300 seats hai. Passengers ko ya to reserved coach me chhad kar jurmana dena padta hai ya fir disappointed hokar laut...

jana padta hai. Itni high demand ke baad bhi na to general coaches badhaye ja rahe hain aur na hi new trains chalaai ja rahi hain. Aane waale holidays me passenger volume badhne se situation aur bhi kharab ho jaayegi. Gorakhpur Junction se Delhi ke liye har din 3000 general tickets bikte hain, lekin Gorakhdam Express me sirf teen general coaches hai. Passengers ko dhoop me lambi line lagaane ke baad bhi seats nahi mil paa rahi hain. Dusre express trains me bhi crowded hone ki wajah se log chhad nahi paate hain. Punjab, Mumbai, Pune, Surat, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, aur Secunderabad jaane waali trains me bhi yahi situation hai. AC coaches ki number badh raha hai lekin general coaches ki number sirf do se teen hi hai. Gorakhpur Junction se har din 16 express trains chalti hain, jisme 150 AC coaches hai lekin sirf 60 general coaches hain. Limited availability ke baad bhi har din 20,000 general tickets bikte hain, aur Delhi aur Mumbai ki situation sabse badtar hai. Mumbai ke liye to multiple express trains chalti hain, lekin Delhi ke liye sirf Gorakhdam Express hi hai.

    These days, every other day, we are getting requests from members to allow email login to their FB-based IRI account. 10 years ago, we had given the option for users to login through FaceBook - in retrospect, this was a mistake. These days, apparently, users are quitting FaceBook in droves because...
