Shortage in manpower
There is severe shortage of manpower in RPF, specially TTE's. 35-40 trains are handled by Mysore station out of which about 18 trains are being escorted by RPF officials and remaining trains are supervised when they halt in stations, due to which ticketless travelers are increasing, he said.
Computer based ticketing system
Following complaints from passengers over collection of exorbitant parking fee, Mysore Division has planned to solve the problem by introducing Computer based ticketing system.
