झांसी। गर्मियों में चलाई जा रही होली - डे स्पेशल ट्रेनों का लाभ यात्रियों को नहीं मिल पा रहा है। इसकी वजह, ट्रेनों की जानकारी देने के लिए न तो पूछताछ कार्यालय में कोई व्यवस्था की गई है और न गाड़ियों का डिस्प्ले बोर्ड के माध्यम से प्रचार हो रहा है।
रेल मंडल से आधा दर्जन होली - डे स्पेशल गाड़ियों को गुजारा जा रहा है। इनमें गाड़ी संख्या 04012/ 04011 हजरत निजामुद्दीन- सांई नगर शिरणी साप्ताहिक एक्सप्रेस का संचालन चार अप्रैल से एक जून के मध्य, गाड़ी संख्या 05023/05024 गोरखपुर- पुणे साप्ताहिक स्पेशल एक्सप्रेस का संचालन चार अप्रैल से उनतीस जून के मध्य, गाड़ी संख्या 05031/ 05032 गोरखपुर- लोकमान्य तिलक टर्मिनस साप्ताहिक विशेष ट्रेन का छह अप्रैल से एक जुलाई के मध्य, गाड़ी संख्या 01015/ 01016 लोकमान्य तिलक टर्मिनस- झांसी साप्ताहिक ट्रेन का एक अप्रैल से पच्चीस जून के मध्य के अलावा गाड़ी संख्या 01683/01684 भोपाल- लखनऊ जक्शन का ग्यारह अप्रैल से सत्ताइस जून तक संचालन किया जा रहा है।
इन सभी गाड़ियों को रेल मंडल के झांसी, ग्वालियर, ललितपुर, उरई आदि स्टेशनों पर ठहराव दिया गया है, लेकिन ट्रेनों की जानकारी देने के लिए पूछताछ कार्यालय में व्यवस्था नहीं की गई है। एक बोर्ड पर छोटे- छोटे अक्षरों में ट्रेन के नंबर व नामों को लिख दिया गया है जो यात्रियों को ठीक से नजर भी नहीं आता है। इसके अलावा इन गाड़ियों की कंप्यूटर पर फीडिंग नहीं की गई है, इस कारण ट्रेन आने पर केवल उद्घोषणा की जाती है। इससे यात्रियों को इन ट्रेनों का लाभ नहीं मिल पा रहा है।

सभी स्पेशल ट्रेनों में उपलब्ध हैं आरक्षण
झांसी। होली डे स्पेशल गाड़ियों के संचालन की घोषणा जिस दिन से की जाती, उसका आरक्षण उसी दिन से मिलना शुरू हो जाता है। उक्त सभी ट्रेनों में अभी काफी संख्या में सीटें खाली चल रही हैं। यात्री अभी समय से आरक्षण लेकर सीट पा सकते हैं।


‘ जल्द ही होली डे स्पेशल ट्रेनों की फीडिंग कंप्यूटर पर की जा रही है। इसके अलावा प्लेटफार्म, प्रवेश द्वार, बुकिंग हाल व वेटिंग रूम में इन गाड़ियों के संबंध में जानकारी चस्पा की जा रही है। आरक्षण कार्यालय, डिप्टी एसएस वाणिज्य और पूछताछ कर्मचारियों से भी जानकारी हासिल की जा सकती है।’

South Central Railway has undertaken several steps to handle passenger rush and curb malpractices in mass contact areas during the summer months. Some of these measures include:-

  1. 278 Special Trains have so far been announced during the months of April, May and June 2013 to popular destinations such as Hyderabad, Tirupati, Karimnagar, Visakhapatnam, Machilipatnam, Renigunta, Kakinada, Guntur, Nanded, Aurangabad, Bangalore, Mumbai, Kollam, Kolhapur, Jaipur, Sriganganagar, Kota, Darbhanga etc., to clear extra rush of passengers during the current summer season. The details can be viewed o­n SC Railway Web-site: www.scr.indianrailways.gov.in.

The carrying capacity of 22 trains has been augmented permanently with 63 additional coaches recently. Extra coaches are being attached o­n a daily basis to trains having long waiting list. It is being ensured that Additional Coaches are logged in the Passenger Reservation System in time so that the waiting list is automatically updated.

  2. Extra ticket counters are being operated at major stations o­n need basis to ease queues. Passengers are encouraged to utilize E-Ticketing and also the services of Jansadharan Ticket Booking Sevaks (JTBS) and the Automatic Ticket Vending Machines (ATVMs) at MMTS stations in Twin Cities.



  3. The officials from Commercial, Vigilance and Security Departments will carry out Special Checks during the Summer season to prevent irregularities in Booking / Reservation to ensure that bona-fide passengers are able to book their tickets without facing any problem.



  4. Raids are being conducted o­n the premises of unauthorized and authorized travel agents in order to check / seize blocking of reservation under fictitious names and subsequent sale of transferred tickets. The checks will also concentrate on curbing the blocking of accommodation in Unreserved Coaches by Towel spreaders / anti social elements. Special efforts are also being made to detect fake Tickets, forged tickets, resale of tickets and misuse of Blank Paper / Extra Fare Tickets etc.,



  5. Statement of name change is drawn out o­n a daily basis and closely monitored to stop any misuse thereof. If there are any unusually high transactions by any particular Enquiry Cum Reservation Clerk, he / she is kept under close watch to detect any possible connivance with touts. In addition, the queues at the Reservation Counters are also being monitored through Closed Circuit Television Cameras, wherever available, to prevent the activities of touts. Tatkal counters are also being checked regularly keeping in view the new amendments in the rules.


  6. Arrangements are also made to man the Additional Coaches and Special Trains by Travelling Ticket Examiners so that in case any irregularity is detected responsibility could be fixed.
