Nagpur: If you have a confirmed ticket then the fun of travelling is something more enjoyable. Every passenger tries to get a confirmed ticket. With stranded travellers struggling with an overloaded booking portal, tech-savvy side-street agents and touts have been found to be hoarding seat reservations and selling them off at a premium. The ‘Vigilance Team’ of the Railways is paying special attention to the Nagpur Section to prevent the loot of needy passengers.
Due to the doubling of the number of passengers due to Diwali festival, the waiting list has got longer. Looking at the experience of every year, many people have already booked tickets in advance. So the ‘waiting list’ is already slowly increasing. Travelling a day before and two days after Diwali is a strenuous exercise. Most of the people stay away from home in connection with studies or work. Wherever they are, everyone goes to their respective homes to celebrate Diwali.

So these days the waiting list would increase. The Nagpur-Pune, Nagpur-Mumbai route is very busy. Trains are always full on this route. This route has the longest waiting list during Diwali. The agents and touts become active and indulge in black marketing of tickets taking advantage of this opportunity.
Railways has also planned to make everyone travel from the reserved berths. Special trains will also run. The waiting list is long and additional coaches will be arranged as and when required. This year special vigilance system of Railways is ready and attention is being paid to Nagpur Division of Central Railway. Apart from this, teams of RPF and Crime Branch are keeping an eye.
