Hi, The incidence narrated was sad indeed and railways could be more responsible in the matter. The Rs. 500 fine is not a deterrent as TC mostly never boards the coach. But should we not have ourselves to blame as well?
Many of our friends (especially in Mumbai) don't purchase tickets. Also, when it suits us we tell nondisabled to travel in the coach (more than one person) which is not allowed. So before we do anything else, let us clean our house.
