Tatkal ticket hiccups are weeded out - Good news for passengers: Hitherto it was a complaint from everyone that Tatkal is for "Naamke Vaas" (just for the namesake), and hiccups are there in every corner and unless there is an agent who backs it is difficult to book the tickets. Railways have found out the major flaw around which these issues were prevailing.
There is illegal software that leads when Tatkal gets opened and books all the tickets as early as possible. Hence normal passengers who believe in booking Tatkal tickets on an authorized website are not able to grip it. Officials explained that illegal software such as ANMS, MAC, and Jaguar wash out all the Tatkal tickets bypassing the regular procedure of IRCTC's login captcha, booking captcha, and bank OTP to generate tickets.
Agents leapfrog and book tickets using this software. Around 60 agents were arrested, who used to block tickets this way. Railway Protection Force Director General Arun Kumar said, "Cleansing operation means the tickets are available now for hours instead of a minute or two now.
