Shameful, isn't the Railway board functions under Ministry of Railways.
To conclude it i remember a meme "Jhooth bolo, baar baar jhooth bolo" and media is truly lapdog they are unable to do a small fact cheking by visiting a busy railway for an hour and Just doing counting and added the coach composition of the trains in the report.
LIES...

Railways minister Ashwini Vaishnaw on Thursday rebutted widely-circulated reports on social media that attributed the crowded trains during the ongoing festive season to claims that the railways have reduced the number of general and non-AC sleeper coaches in trains, saying the claim was completely false and that there has been no change in the composition of trains.
“The reports of the number of sleeper coaches being reduced in trains leading to problems for passengers opting for non-AC berths are false.
“There is no change in the standard coach composition in a train,” Vaishnaw added. “A train has six to seven sleeper coaches, four general coaches, one or no AC 1st Class, one or two pantry cars, two 2AC coaches, six 3AC coaches and one power car or a guard coach.”
Question
Railways knows that there's rush ( be it any festival Sankranti , Holi, Ganesh Chaturthi, Dussehra, Diwali, Chaath) why they can't begin booking 6 to 8 week in advance, very limited travellers on non AC classes are tech friendly so they're unaware of operations of special trains which mostly commence operations 7 to 10 days ahead . If they begin the booking periodically as per demand then mostly this situation can be curtailed, but as per railway board "Sab changa si".
please wait...Translate to EnglishDamn, ain't it messed up that the Railway board is under the Ministry of Railways?
Let me wrap it up with this meme: "Just keep lying, keep lying over and over again." And the media is like a lapdog, they can't even bother to visit a busy railway for an hour to fact-check, they just count the coaches and write a report.
Straight up lies, man. The railway has been getting rid of sleeper coaches over the past few years and now they're acting like everything's fine.
Here comes Railways minister Ashwini Vaishnaw on Thursday, shutting down those rumors on social media about overcrowded trains during the festive season because they reduced the number of general and non-AC sleeper coaches. He's saying it's all bullshit, nothing has changed.
He said, "Nah, they're lying about reducing the sleeper coaches. The composition of the trains is still the same."
According to him, a train still has six to seven sleeper coaches, four general coaches, maybe one AC 1st class, one or two pantry cars, two 2AC coaches, six 3AC coaches, and one power car or guard coach.
Now, here's the deal. The Railway knows damn well that there's always a rush during festivals like Sankranti, Holi, Ganesh Chaturthi, Dussehra, Diwali, and Chaath. So why the hell can't they start booking tickets 6 to 8 weeks in advance? Most people traveling in non-AC classes are tech-savvy, they don't even know when these special trains start operating, which is usually 7 to 10 days before. If they just started booking tickets as per demand, this mess could be avoided. But no, according to the railway board, "Everything's fine."
please wait...Translate to HindiShameful yaar, Railway board Ministry of Railways ke under function karti hai. Toh fir main ek meme yaad karta hoon "Jhooth bolo, baar baar jhooth bolo", aur media toh bilkul kutte ki tarah hai, ek busy Railway ko ek ghante ke liye visit nahi kar sakte aur bas counting karke report mein trainon ki composition add kar dete hain.
Bilkul jhooth, railway ne sleeper coaches ko systematically kam kar diya hai kuch saalo mein aur ab bol rahe hain ki standard...
Railways minister Ashwini Vaishnaw ne Thursday ko social media par phaili reports ka jawab diya hai, jismein kaha gaya tha ki festive season mein trains mein bheed hone ki wajah se railways ne general aur non-AC sleeper coaches ki sankhya kam kar di hai, lekin minister ne kaha ki yeh dava bilkul jhooth hai aur trainon ki composition mein koi badlav nahi hua hai.
"Yeh jhooti khabrein sleeper coaches ki sankhya kam karne ki aur unreserved passengers ke liye problem create karne ki hai. Standard coach composition mein koi badlav nahi hua hai," Vaishnaw ne kaha. "Ek train mein 6 se 7 sleeper coaches, char general coaches, ek ya koi AC 1st Class, ek ya do pantry cars, doh 2AC coaches, chhe 3AC coaches aur ek power car ya guard coach hota hai."
Sawaal hai ki Railways ko pata hai ki kisi bhi festival (Sankranti, Holi, Ganesh Chaturthi, Dussehra, Diwali, Chaath) mein rush hoti hai, toh fir booking kyun nahi shuru karte 6 se 8 hafte pehle? Non-AC classes mein limited travellers hai jo tech-friendly hain, unko special trains ke operations ke baare mein pata nahi hota jinhe mostly sirf 7 se 10 din pehle shuru kiya jaata hai. Agar demand ke hisab se booking periodically shuru karenge toh yeh situation control ho sakti hai, lekin railway board ke anusar "Sab changa si".
