Summary:
Sources said on May 1-2, train tickets got booked in less than 5 minutes. "I booked in one of the trains with starting station as Ahmedabad but boarding station as Vasai. In a bid to get confirmed train tickets during Ganesh Chaturthi, Mumbaikars are allegedly booking tickets from the place of origin while their boarding stations are Vasai from where trains converge to Central Railway line via Vasai-Diva-Panvel rail route. Recently the Railway Board had taken out a notification stating that passengers will be treated without a ticket if the place of boarding is different from the place of booking. Another Mumbai resident who too made a booking for Ganesh festival said that the railways should keep a check on touts who use software to book tickets..
