There is rampant corruption prevalent in the railways. At the ticket windows, tickets are not available for many destinations, especially for the long distance trains. However, by paying extra money to the touts, one can get tickets easily. Moreover, one is able to get a berth by paying extra money to the TTE.
Keeping the above in view, I appeal to the authorities that they should initiate punitive action against the corrupt railway officials and get the touts arrested so that the travellers are not discomforted.
