IRCTC Down: Passengers preparing to go to their homes on the occasion of Diwali and Chhath are facing difficulties. Actually, Indian Railways’ ticket booking IRCTC website and mobile app are not working. Due to this, many passengers are not able to book their tickets. The IRCTC website was down before 10 am today and users are facing difficulty in logging in. Similarly, Rail One app is also stalled.

This error is coming on the website

Error is coming on IRCTC website. It is written that due to service request the server is temporarily disabled. Due to the approaching festival of Diwali and Chhath, thousands of passengers wanted to book their tickets as soon as Tatkal booking started, but they were disappointed due to the website not working. According to DownDetector, a website that monitors outages, there have been about 5000 reports of this website being down.

What does Railways have to say?

Railway officials have confirmed that IRCTC is down. He said that this has happened due to technical reasons. He says that work is being done to resolve this problem and normal service will be restored soon.

Users showing their displeasure on social media

On the other hand, passengers unable to book tickets are showing their displeasure on social media. One user wrote that every day the IRCTC server is down as if it is running on 2G. Common passengers lose nothing, while agents and booking mafia book tickets in seconds. How long will this robbery continue in broad daylight in front of the Railway Ministry? Instead of transparency, this system has been created to harass the citizens.

IRCTC – Digital India’s Biggest Joke!

Every Tatkal or Premium Tatkal booking day, the IRCTC server collapses like it’s running on 2G. Common passengers get nothing, while agents & booking mafias grab all tickets in seconds.

How long will this daylight loot continue…
