Who was the first Indian to climb mt.everest?

How can I ensure lower berths for my aged parents in First class AC on Indian Railways?

  • My parents are aged and cannot climb up onto upper berth. I have booked first AC tickets for them. Though the tickets are confirmed, the coach/seat no. is not given. The rules on the Indian Railways site says that seat, coupe no. on first class AC are allotted at the time of chart preparation. However they cannot risk the journey if they are not sure that they would be allotted lower berths. How can I ensure that they get lower berths? will be much obliged for helpful inputs.

  • Answer:

    If your parent are senior citizen then they will certainly get Lower berths. During chart preparation of AC 1st class the reservation clerk keeps in mind the necessity and age of passengers.

Generally First AC tickets will get confirmed at the time of chart preparation only. If you have mentioned their age correctly, then the system will allot lower berth only as per availability. In case if you get upper berth, TTE will certainly help you.

Hi All, What are we talking about? We are Indians and with adjusting mind, kind enough to leave lower berth to senior citizens. You just ask anybody, they will adjust. S.Karthikeyan
