IRCTC Passengers Furious Over Booking Issues
Reports of IRCTC down on Thursday have been widespread across the country. Train passengers were furious about the IRCTC website and App Outage during peak Tatkal ticket hours. One frustrated user complained to railway officials on Twitter, claiming this is a regular problem at 10 AM. They suggested it might be a scam since when the site came back online, only expensive premium tickets were available while regular Tatkal tickets were sold out.
“It is 10:11 am… still IRCTC is not opening…. IRCTC should be enquired and checked… definitely scams are happening. By the time it opens all the tickets are gone…”.
“India reached the moon, but the Indian Railways ticket booking app can’t handle Tatkal booking without crashing. It’s 2024, and a stable server shouldn’t be rocket science!” another passenger commented.
This marks another recent technical failure for the railway booking platform, though IRCTC has yet to address the cause.
