This is very controversial because First of all, noTT is appointed to check
the ticket in those type of special coaches for disabled passengers.
Secondly, at very outset, these special coaches were declared "General coach
for Disabled passengers" and mostly those have been used by policemen and
other normal passengers after making outside payment to railway staff
specially in western and northern railways.
Thirdly, Quota of two births have been given for all disabled passengers
with attendant in all trains in general sleeper coaches, now which are
wrongly being transferred in to these special general coaches for disabled
passengers and in where, actually reserved births have not been given to
concerned passengers because general disabled passengers suppose this coach
as a general coach for disabled passengers and even railway staff have same
approach in this regard as some diseased friends told me about these type of
mishappenings.

Rakesh.
