This is to bring in kind notice of all the concerned that the Ahmedabad Railway Station is the venue to corruption. Everyday millions of passengers travel through railways and a large chunk of them pass through this station in and out of the city.
Some with fewer luggages which dose not require luggage weigh check et al. But those who travel in individual/group having more luggages have to get checked for the weight weather under specific limit or not?
Here I come to the point. On January 18 at around 8:50 am in the morning at luggage booking counter at the station, I opted to check the weight and pay the prescribed excess luggage charges. After weighting and finding luggage over specified limit, I paid the amount for the difference to the concerned clerk.
Sensing a doubt, I checked the weighting machine scale and was shocked after seeing the reading on the scale. In all it was showing 25 kg of excess luggage. When I enquired about then he began to quarrel and went on to saying, "This scale is for luggage not for human, go to electro-mechanical scale and weigh yourself. If you want to make any complaint, go and do the same."
By that time I already had lost enough of my valuable time and was left with no option but to leave the place without any argument with him. Now it seems that something fishy is going there and may be higher authorities, to some extent, are also involved in the whole process. I request AM to please have a look at the matter, and passengers to be careful while going for the same at the Ahmedabad Railway Station.
