Indian Railways IRCTC stopped the operation of trains on 22 March 2020 due to Corona. After this, the operation of trains started by making specials. Booking of Tatkal tickets was not allowed in special trains.
With the end of the festive season, the wedding season has started. There will be marriage season till half of December. Most of the trains have long waiting lists due to the wedding season. There is no room like situation in many trains. Under these circumstances, the railway passenger had the only option immediately.
But the closed Tatkal quota in festival special trains has not been allowed to start till now. Booking of Tatkal quota is still not being done in many important trains originating and passing through Dhanbad. Even in trains like Ganga Damodar Express and Intercity from Dhanbad to Patna, booking of Tatkal quota is closed. This worries the passengers.
Due to this Tatkal booking stopped
Due to Corona, the railways stopped the operation of trains on 22 March 2020. After this, the operation of trains started by making specials.

Now it is expected that soon the ban on Tatkal tickets will also be lifted. Railways have given indications in this regard.

When trains have started running as normal, now the system of concession to senior citizens should also be implemented. Along with this, for the convenience of passengers, railways should also start booking Tatkal quota as before. Will urge East Central Railway to meet the General Manager and talk to the Railway Board in this matter.
