Title - Atleast 3 lakh vacant seats go unutilized every year in Railways

According to data released by Indian Railways, about 3 lakh berths go unutilized every year despite demand at intermediate stations.

Railway has taken stern notice of the same and has changed rules of Passenger Reservation System. Now since vacant seats will be allotted automatically to passengers of intermediate stations TTE will only be able to allot berth upto next station once train is departed.

Railway expects that with change in current system, vacant berths can be utilized in a much better way.
