IRCTC website outage: The Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC) website is down for more than a few hours now, according to the users who have tried to log in or attempted to book states. The IRCTC website displays the following on launching it:
As usual, you can find details here. PLEASE TRY LATER. FOR CANCELLATION/FILE TDR KINDLY CALL AT CUSTOMER CARE NO 14646,08044647999 & 08035734999 OR MAIL AT etickets@irctc.co.in.
The disruption began around 9:47 am, according to Downdetector, with thousands of users reporting problems since then. IRCTC has pointed the finger at maintenance activities for the downtime, but it is not clear when the issue will be resolved.
REPEATED OUTAGES RAISE CONCERNS
This is not the first time this month that users have faced interruptions on IRCTC. Both the IRCTC website and app had also crashed around 10 am on December 9, leading to similar inconvenience. The latest outage has again led to frustration among passengers, particularly during the crucial Tatkal booking period.
Users Flood Social Media With Frustration
The outage has sparked an avalanche of complaints on social media, with many passengers complaining of anger and disappointment. Many users pointed out that the platform was important for last-minute ticket bookings, noting that its repeated inaccessibility was an inconvenience.
Stability Amid Demand Increases
The ongoing technical glitches occurring at IRCTC – a major platform for railway ticket bookings – highlight the imperative need for better stability and robustness in the system. As more people turn to the internet for booking flights, the potential for downtime can only hurt user trust and bookings.
As it stands, travelers should be patient and seek out other means of assistance, including the customer care numbers or the email address given.
