New Delhi: A large population of the country travels by Indian Railways. If the Indian Railways was not operational then it would be difficult to imagine how much trouble the passengers would have to face in the country. Even at present, the trains are so crowded that you need to book tickets in advance to travel comfortably. If a person does not get the ticket reservation done in time, then it is difficult for him to get a seat in the train.
Apart from this, a large number of people have to face waiting even while making ticket reservation, i.e. if the person has not booked the ticket in time and he books the ticket later, then he goes to the waiting list, after which if waiting The list is cleared, only then his ticket can be confirmed. However, a separate facility is provided for those whose travel plans are impromptu. This is tatkal ticket booking or premium tatkal ticket booking facility.
