Its an old thread, plus I guess a lot of content from active threads has been moved here in the past - Not sure if that results in addition/moving of viewership count. In any case, people probably get notified & they then visit.

What an Irony!!! Here our leaders ask the people to be innovative and when people like these try to really do something innovative, they are punished.

Heh. The problem here is that irctc is slow by design and not lack of technical expertise. They don't want automated systems to speed up booking for some users who can use such solutions. Plus he was charging for the app features which is where the problem starts.

Irctc is a mafia type organization. It's stupid to take them on.

Just irctc? You havnt heard about railways auction and tenders yet.
