Hello Arup, If concerned booking staff is acting like this, you may definitely approach to Reservation Supervisor/DRM/CPRM, because it is clear guidelines to Railway to provide concession to VH either he/she is traveling with or without escort. Only Mentally and orthopaedically handicapped commuters are not allowed to travel without escort. It is also mentioned on the format of concession certificate provided at Concession Branch, DRM Office.
