IRCTC Website Crashes During Chhath Puja Tatkal Booking
The IRCTC website and app experienced a widespread outage, displaying a "currently unreachable" error for many travelers attempting to book Tatkal tickets during the peak demand of the Chhath Puja rush. Users complained that by the time the system resumed working, all Tatkal quotas were already sold out. The Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation responded by directing affected users to raise their complaints via their official e-query link.
