Why we are not allowed concession in even Jan Shatabdi trains? I don't know about Gareeb Raths. Moreover, the special handicapped coaches which have been attached to some trains are really being used by handicapped persons? Once I traveled in such a coach and it was a very unpleasant experience. I was the only handicapped person in that coach and coach was crowded with normal persons. Even if a handicapped person wanted to board the train, it was very difficult for him to take that coach. It should be ensured that only handicapped persons should be allowed to take advantage of these coaches. They say that you can't get your seats reserved in that particular coach. I fail to understand, why. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Dinesh Kaushal" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <accessindia@accessindia.org.in> Sent: Friday, May 25, 2007 9:23 AM Subject: Re: [AI] Concession in railways
