'Ticket, Please?': What This Woman In 2AC Coach Showed TTE Stunned Everyone
A viral video shows a heated argument between a female passenger and a TTE over the validity of her MST pass in a 2AC coach. The video has sparked debate on social media
Indian Railways remains a vital mode of transport across the nation, but a recent incident has brought attention to ticketing rules and passenger conduct. A viral video has captured a heated argument between a female passenger and a travelling ticket examiner (TTE) over the validity of her ticket. The woman, travelling in a 2AC coach, produced an MST (monthly seasonal ticket) pass instead of a valid 2AC ticket when the TTE asked to check. This led to confusion and a back-and-forth discussion about the ticket's legitimacy.
Ticketing Rules
MSTs are only valid for ordinary coaches, passenger trains, and Mainline Electric Multiple Unit (electric train) services, not for 1AC, 2AC, or 3AC coaches on long-distance superfast trains. This detail was the crux of the argument, as the TTE explained that the MST pass did not apply in the 2AC coach.
For about three-and-a-half minutes, the woman argued that she had been assured by railway staff that she could travel in any coach. She showed the ticket on her phone and attempted to downplay the situation, but the TTE remained firm, eventually calling his senior for clarification.
The video, shared by @gharkekalesh on X (formerly Twitter), has garnered over 22,000 views and sparked a heated discussion. Many users praised the TTE for his professionalism, while others debated the passenger's claims. The incident has highlighted the importance of understanding and following ticketing rules for efficient train travel.

76 army personnel airlifted from landslide-hit Chaten in north Sikkim
At least 76 army personnel were on Saturday (June 7, 2025) airlifted from Chaten in north Sikkim where road connectivity has been snapped due to multiple landslides triggered by heavy rain, officials said. This marks the "completion of coordinated evacuation efforts", which included the rescue of all stranded tourists earlier, they said. "Altogether 76 army personnel were airlifted by three MI-17 helicopters. The air evacuation operation from Chaten has concluded today with the helicopters transporting army personnel from Chaten to Pakyong Greenfield Airport," an official said. The state government continues to closely monitor the overall situation and remains committed to providing all necessary support in the disaster-hit region and assistance to those affected by natural calamities, another official said. Heavy rain had triggered multiple landslides in north Sikkim recently, disrupting road connectivity in the region. As a result, more than 1,600 tourists had been stranded in Lachen, Lachung and Chungthang towns for days before they were rescued by the state government. The Indian army, National Disaster Response Force (NDRF), State Disaster Response Force (SDRF), Border Roads Organisation (BRO), and the Mangan district administration had carried out rescue and search operations for days and evacuated all stranded tourists and local people, the officials said. Several helicopters were pressed into service to evacuate more than 140 tourists by air, they said. Three army personnel were killed, four injured and six others went missing after a landslide hit a military camp at Chaten on the evening of June 1. Efforts are underway to locate the missing soldiers.
