Railway minister Lalu Prasad Yadav gave a good new year gift to the railway commuters. He ordered the third side berth in trains to be removed. The removal is from 3rd AC coaches and sleeper coaches.
This is in wake of complaints from passengers and railway authorities. Also to add to the problem, there was no much revenue from the arrangement.
The problems due to this arrangement was multifolded.
* The already booked berths were to be reallocated, and this caused panic among passengers
* There was little seating arrangement for the 9 passengers (earlier it was 8). The extra passenger was accommodated in the normal sitting side, where in one side 4 passengers to be seated and in another side as usual 3 passengers.
