IRCTC : In the digital age, online ticketing services have become a convenient way for travelers to book their journeys hassle-free. The Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC) has been the go-to platform for millions of Indian Railways passengers, providing seamless ticketing and other travel-related services.
However, in a recent development, the IRCTC website encountered a major technical issue, leaving users unable to book tickets for over eight hours. In this article, we delve into the details of the incident, the actions taken by IRCTC, and the impact it had on travelers.
The disruption occurred at 3.30 am when the IRCTC website went down due to a technical glitch. This unexpected outage affected the ticket booking process for countless users. The public sector undertaking (PSU) quickly acknowledged the issue through a statement on the micro-blogging platform X. The statement reassured users that their technical team was working diligently to resolve the problem and restore normalcy to the platform.
As the website remained inaccessible, frustrated users took to various social media platforms to express their grievances. Many reported that they had tried to book tickets during the outage but were unsuccessful. Adding to their woes, some users claimed that their money had been deducted despite the failure of the booking process. Understandably, they sought answers about the refund process and the timeline for getting their money back.
To address the growing concerns, IRCTC posted an update on platform X, citing technical reasons for the service unavailability. They also informed users that the Centre for Railway Information Systems (CRIS) team was actively resolving the issue. While users eagerly awaited a solution, IRCTC advised those seeking to book tickets to visit the Passenger Reservation System (PRS) counters or use web service agents like Make My Trip and Amazon as temporary alternatives.
Established in 1999 by the Ministry of Railways, Indian Railway plays a vital role in upgrading and professionalizing catering and hospitality services at railway stations, onboard trains, and other locations. Beyond ticketing, IRCTC also has a broader mandate to promote both domestic and international tourism.
The corporation operates through five zonal offices in New Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Chennai, and Secunderabad, along with ten regional offices in Lucknow, Chandigarh, Jaipur, Bhopal, Ahmedabad, Guwahati, Bhubaneswar, Patna, Ernakulam, and Bangalore.
Apart from its core ticketing services, Indian Railway has expanded its offerings to include budget hotels, special tour packages, and comprehensive travel information for passengers. This diversification has made it a one-stop platform for travelers seeking not only train tickets but also travel-related amenities.
The Indian Railway website’s technical glitch posed significant inconveniences to users, affecting their ability to book train tickets online. However, the corporation’s prompt response in acknowledging the issue and the efforts made to address it were commendable. As one of the most significant players in the travel and ticketing domain, IRCTC’s role in the Indian Railways ecosystem remains crucial. While the recent outage was an unfortunate incident, it serves as a reminder of the critical importance of robust technical infrastructure in ensuring seamless user experiences.
