Travelling By Train? Here’s What To Do If Your Reserved Seat Is Taken By Someone

Travelling By Train

Train journeys, especially the long ones can be really interesting. You come across different kinds of people while travelling by train. While some are super nice, some can be really intimidating too. And we all remember the strangest of incidents taking place while travelling by train. Starting from lost luggage, theft, and purse-snatchers, to random chain pulls, such horrific stories have always been a part. We have also come across those who intimidate you to take your reserved seats or bug you to make adjustments. No worries, the Indian Railways system is here to help with this situation.

Travelling By Train Without Fighting Or Losing Your Cool

The mega quarrel to fight for seats despite having reservations is not a new battle in Indian trains. One must have experienced or even heard of incidents when people occupy seats without proper tickets. It not only irks the legit passengers but crowds the spaces too. Well, overcrowded trains aren’t new either. So, what do you do when you come across such passengers while travelling by train? First, approach the right authorities, probably the TTE. And if you can’t spot one, file a complaint on ‘Railway Madad’.
