Railway Tatkal tickets gone in 60 seconds? Thyrocare founder slams IRCTC's tatkal booking chaos, offers a solution
Booking a Tatkal train ticket on IRCTC has turned into a daily digital gamble, and now, even prominent entrepreneurs are calling it out. Every morning at 10 AM, countless Indians brace themselves for a frustrating race against the clock. Seats appear available, only to vanish in seconds as the website freezes, crashes, or simply gives up. The ritual is so familiar that it's become a running joke online, but for those relying on emergency travel, the experience is anything but funny. Among the many voices rising against this glitch-ridden madness is Dr A. Velumani , the founder of Thyrocare. Sharing a viral image on X (formerly Twitter) from Stocks in HD's Threads account, Dr Velumani didn't mince words. He called the entire experience 'shocking' and, if true, a 'betrayal.' The post had outlined the minute-by-minute chaos of Tatkal booking, where everything seems fine until the clock hits 10, and then the website seemingly collapses under pressure. But Dr Velumani didn't stop at criticism. Drawing parallels from his own company's experience, he offered a practical solution. Thyrocare, he recalled, once faced a similar problem of server overload during peak traffic. Since adding expensive spare servers wasn't viable, his team solved it by staggering user access. He suggested IRCTC do the same, allowing only a fraction of trains (say 1/10th) to be booked every hour, as a simple way to optimise load and ensure smoother operations. He tagged IRCTC's official account and shared this recommendation. — velumania (@velumania) Meanwhile, users on social media added their own insights. Some likened Tatkal bookings to a lottery. Others pointed out that automated systems used by booking agents are the real culprits, grabbing tickets in seconds while regular users struggle to even load the page. Many agreed the problem runs deeper than server load, hinting at systemic loopholes and unfair advantages. What does the survey say? Securing a Tatkal train ticket remains a frustrating experience for most Indian travellers, according to a new nationwide survey by LocalCircles, as reported by Business Standard. Conducted between April and May 2025, the survey covered over 55,000 travellers across 396 districts. A staggering 73% of respondents who tried booking online in the past year said they were waitlisted within the first minute of the Tatkal window opening. Only 40% of those surveyed felt the regular online process was the best way to secure a Tatkal ticket, while over 30% admitted turning to travel agents instead. Others resorted to using multiple devices, visiting railway stations, or even contacting MPs or railway staff. The reports further claimed that out of 18,851 people who attempted Tatkal bookings in the last 12 months, 29% said they succeeded only 0–25% of the time, while another 29% reported never succeeding. Just 10% got a ticket every time they tried.

Former AIADMK minister S P Velumani receives death threat; probe on
Coimbatore: Thondamuthur MLA and former AIADMK minister S P Velumani received a threat letter from an unidentified person on Thursday, stating that he would be murdered if he failed to leave Rs1 crore in a bag at a waste dumping site located on Kalapatti-Vellanaipatti road between 2pm and 2.30pm on May 25 for his person to pick up. Velumani was also warned against approaching police, stating his family members would be murdered, if he did so. The letter was undersigned with the note, "Allahu Akbar Pakistan Zindabad". AIADMK functionary and lawyer K Dhamodaran has petitioned city police commissioner A Saravana Sundar in this regard. He said Velumani was out of town for 10 days and noticed the letter, which was sent from Kalapatti post office on May 15, only on Thursday. "There will be a bomb blast in Coimbatore before July 30, 2025, and we have plotted to kill you. Our people are stationed near you, and our organization needs money. We have people inside the police department. We have proof of the illegal possession of black money," the letter read. Velumani was asked to pay Rs1 crore to the organization or face dire consequences. Based on the complaint, the Kuniyamuthur police have begun an investigation to trace details of the sender of the letter.
