Useful
Looks like railways is being strict now, i have noticed too many TCs at KZJ boarding every train and checking for general ticket travellers in reserved coaches. Secunderabd Danapur express which is popular for overcrowded sleeper coaches is seen in normal condition today. All the sleeper coaches are free from unreserved travellers, same case with Hyderabad Shalimar east cost express too, all sleepers were normal crowded. Hope this will continue forever.
