I OCCUPIED BIRTH NO. 6. AFTER SOME TIME BOTH TTE CAME TO MY BIRTH AND TTE WITH CHART ASKED ME SOME TIP AND I WAS SURPRISED AT HIS BEHAVIOUR AND RELUCTANTLY GAVE HIM RS 100/- WHICH HE TOOK AND KEPT IN HIS POCKET. PLEASE TAKE ACTION IN THIS REGARD TO AVOID HARASSMENT TO INDIAN RAILWAY TRAVELLER IN FUTURE.
