This is about SURAT JAMNAGAR INTERCITY EXPRESS.This is about hostile attitude of older/more regular MST travellers hostile/goonda attitude towards other not so regular MST pass holders.
MST travellers have only one 2 class general coach.there may well be more than 500 MST pass holders, between SURAT-VADODARA.
Its a nightmare travelling for the two hours.
Some of these older MST passholders have...

made a coterie and do not allow other MST travellers to sit on empty seats/berths,saying so and so will board the train at Bharuch or Ankaleshwar, and hence keep that seat unoccupied where in dozens of bonafide passengers simply wait and watch.
These MST pass holders abuse,push,gang up against other individuals.in this exclusive pass holders coach.
Railways authorities in the form of TTES/GRP never visit this coach, do nothing
there are drug addicts/pushers and many anti social elements in this MST coach.just 12 -15 regular travellers play KING in this coach for a journey of 2 hours.most of these gangterised pass holders are carrying goods in baskets/big bags containing cloth cutpieces and other sundry trade items.hence they have a cause to travel cheap,occupy space and defend their territory vigorously.
who can imagine gainfully employed people returning to Vadodara fronm Surat on 2 HOURS TRIP at 1:30PM IN THE Afternoon.
In normal general compartments, there s general feeling of co passenger /comradie, but in this MST coach,these goons will lie down or play or cards and two persons will keep a whole berth to themselves and watch amusingly at scores of men,women,elderly stand and suffer.
how long will this last.sooner or later there will be a bloody confrontation.
it is requested that ticket checking staff and GRP authorties to intervene andcheck passes as well as force the older MST pass holders to allow other NST holders to sit on unoccupied seats which they have reserved for their friends etc who will board mid way.

jan shatabdi will be stopped.
it will be replaced with dd
