बरेली : रेल अफसरों की मनमानी यात्रियों पर काफी भारी पड़ रही है। गुरुवार को जंक्शन से दिल्ली जाने वाली 14315 इंटरसिटी एक्सप्रेस में डी-09 चेयरकार कोच अचानक हटा दिया। इसमें 104 यात्रियों का रिजर्वेशन था। कोच में सफर करने वाले यात्रियों ने कोच को काफी तलाश किया। लेकिन कोच नहीं मिला। इससे खफा यात्रियों ने प्लेटफार्म पर ही हंगामा किया। ट्रेन के टीटीई ने यात्रियों को समझाने का प्रयास किया। मगर, रिजर्वेशन के बाद भी बर्थ न मिलने से खफा यात्री शांत नहीं हुए। टीटीई ने स्टेशन मास्टर को कोच न होने की जानकारी दी। जिसके चलते स्टेशन मास्टर ने निर्धारित समय सुबह 04:50 बजे ट्रेन को रवाना कर दिया। इससे मजबूरी में यात्री जनरल समेत अन्य कोच में सवार हो गए। इसके अलावा रामपुर, मुरादाबाद, अमरोहा स्टेशनों पर भी यात्रियों ने हंगामा किया। स्टेशन अधीक्षक एजे सिद्दीकी की ने बताया कि कोच में खराबी के चलते कम किया गया था।
