Second fault this month
This is the second consecutive time in the last month of December of the year, when this problem has been seen in the IRCTC website, due to which Tatkal ticket booking has been disrupted. Passengers who had reached the platform to book tickets also got this message, ‘Booking and cancellation will not be available for all sites for the next one hour due to maintenance work, we are very sorry for the inconvenience.’ Earlier on December 26 also, IRCTC server had stalled.
