New Delhi: Rest house for Ticket Takers (TTs) at New Delhi Railway Station located adjacent to Sainik Rest House stinks. Authorities concerned do not take any action even after getting registered complaints a number of times, said a group of TTs who stayed there.They alleged that there is no proper maintenance in the rest house. There is no room for TTs of 13 trains of the Northern Railway. Each room has six beds. Each train has three-ten TTs. Four hundred TTs arrive daily to stay there, though the rest house has only 306 beds.Sources in the railways said that having seen the difficulty of the TTs earlier, Divisional Railway Manager (DRM) had planned to construct a dormitory of 36 beds but the project is still pending.A few months back the DRM had visited the rest house to monitor the maintenance. He has reported about the condition but so far nothing has happened. Northern Railway spokesperson Ajay Micheal said, "If there is any problem, it will be worked out soon".
