Went off to station, as parents left on this ticket. Unbelievable rush on train. Almost all of SL classes were overflowing with passengers. B1,2,3,4 each coaches are having 6 RAC each. The TTE saiRACs are even in 2A coach, just to clear as many passengers as possible. Even the compressor of AC coaches were groaning. When pointed out, TTE exclaimed helplessly that all the coaches are very old; these have been repaired at maximum.
I do welcome, if required more, of passenger fare hike. If that can save railway, so be it.
