Haryana's Tandwal Station: No Staff, No Tickets, Passengers Forced to Travel Illegally

• Tandwal Railway Sub-Station in Ambala, Haryana, operates without staff or a functional ticket counter, despite passenger trains stopping daily.
• Passengers face hours of waiting, lack of information, and are often forced to travel without tickets due to the absence of purchasing options.
• While online ticket scanners are available, they are not accessible to all, particularly the elderly and less educated, leading to helplessness.
• Ambala Railway Division's Senior DCM, Naveen Kumar, stated that Tandwal is a halt station and a new tender process is underway to deploy staff.
• The situation raises concerns about passenger convenience and safety, with calls for temporary arrangements until the new system is implemented.
