I have been following the Indian Railways Commercial Portal project which was to provide e-ticketing facility on the Indian Railways website. This project has been going on since 3 years and the project was supposed to be completed within 3 months of start 3 years ago. It is very shocking to see what CRIS along with HP has done after 3 years of the project. The site (www.indianrail.gov.in) is not working since the launch day the page does not open and I am not able to even register for the service forget booking. It seems like it is a combination of bad decisions and bad planning. This is a pure waste of public money, looks like another scam where officers have gobbled up lots of money in the name of a project with public interest and HP has looted a govt body by doing such a shoddy job out of it. God save this country. With Anna Hazare leading a crusade at one end and such open loots going on at the other end.
