Rly ticketing now outsourced
Even after all the struggle and long waits in the queue, there is no guarantee that one gets the ticket before the train’s departure from the station.
Many a times the passengers are either compelled to wait for the next train or to travel in the train without ticket! If the ‘luck’ is not on the part of the passenger, then he might have to end up paying penalty to the Train Ticket Inspector.
All those who have undergone the experience of the long wait and hustle bustle in the ticket counter, must have wished the railway department to make some alternative arrangement to avoid the trouble. And finally the Railway Department has responded to the situation by opening a private general ticket booking counter in the station premises.
To avoid the peak hour rush in the Station’s General Ticket Booking Counter, the railways Palghat Division has permitted an outsider to open the counter near the railway station. The Janasadharan Ticket Booking Sewak - Railway General Ticket Booking Counter which was opened nearly three months back, though is serving the purpose to some extent, seems to have failed to reach the public.
Located on the way to the railway station, between the Wenlock Hospital Mortuary and Mutthappa temple, the private booking centre charges additional Rs 1 for each ticket. Speaking to City Herald, Senthil Kumar who owns the counter said, he has set up the counter to help the public who otherwise struggle to buy tickets in the railway station’s counter.
“I assumed of receiving a great response from the passengers, but unfortunately even after three months of setting up this counter, only few of the passengers have noticed the counter,” he said. According to Senthil Kumar, on an average 400-450 passengers, especially the students buy tickets in his counter. He expects to draw more number of passengers in the next two months as March and April are the peak seasons.
No response from MCC
Senthil, who has opened the counter in a small land belonging to his friend, has obtained permission from the Railway Department to open yet another counter in the station’s vicinity.
But as the MCC has not responded to his plea to grant licence to the land, the plan is yet to be materialised.
2 more counters
Mangalore Central Station Manager Neeliath Chandran informed that to relieve the rush in the ticket booking centre of the Central Railway Station, the Palghat Division has now nodded for setting up of two more counters in the city by private individuals. “We have given the ticket issuing right to Ravi and Senthil Kumar father-son duo, on contract basis for three years. The contract might be renewed or cancelled depending on the situation,” he said
