About 60 passengers of Patna-bound Bangalore City-Sangamitra Express who had booked their berths for 3-tier air-conditioned coach got agitated when the Railway authorities offered a sleeper coach at the City Railway Station. It seems the authorities claimed that the AC coach is undergoing a major repair.

Moreover, an agitated passenger Tabish Ashraf says that that it was highly difficult to travel for 50 hours in a sleeper coach to Patna and that the Railway authorities are very casual in their approach. In fact, once  they got inside the train, we are told that they are not going to provide bed rolls which was told earlier to be given.  

Mr Ashraf added that this is a serious lapse on the part of the Railways and he is planning to move the consumer forum about the justification.
