Railways booking may be becoming scamful again

I remember in 2015 the major railway ticket booking was caught through LocalCircles where at second 00:05 after 8 am ticket opening common people would get 145 waitlist in full train. The agents were colluding with people inside railways and taking away all the seats.

It appears same scams may have started again.

In rajdhani trains on day 1 only 45 seats of second ac are made available online while 300 seats are part of some other system.

Then when you try booking these 45, they are booked within first 10 seconds and to common people it says site not available.

Railways should get this studied and if it looks like agents are back in the game with their corrupt collusions it time to clean up things more

We know that nothing is going to change,as Railway itself has allocated more seats for tatkal for its business and second thing Retailer can not book nowadays tatkal at 10 @ 11 a.m as they can not login that time or network issues faced by them at that particular time.This all gives impression that Agents are now officiaaly free to make business by overcharging the commomn people by booking Tatkal for the common people.Its all made leagal silently by the ministry.Then how we can expect better situation for us?? more  
Sir,why everything we have to bring to the notice of the Government,where is there proactiveness? And when this practices are allowed purposefully by the system,that means they are least concern about common people,this is quite clear. more  
Did this kind of practice is ever brought to the notice of the Railway minister. more  
Our present Railway Minister enjoys a high reputation and known for his honesty and activeness. We look forward and call for his immediate urgent attention towards this serious issue and to initiate all required action to keep the reservation system scam free and corruption free. more  
Only common people are facing such issues more  
I am amazed 844 people read it and 3 commented. No wonder we are where we are as a nation. Everyone wants daddy to solve it. more  
This is a continuous fight and has to be taken up with the Railway Minister on regular basis by the Local Circles. more
