This will help genuine users get confirmed tickets during need.
The move is being seen after Dr A. Velumani, the founder of Thyrocare, shared the viral image on X from Stocks which claimed that the IRCTC website hangs at 10 a.m. even when seats are available. Velumani said on X, “Shocking. If it is true, it is betrayal. !!”
Shocking.

“We too had similar chronic peak server load problem in #Thyrocare. We could not afford costly spare servers. But we solved it by staggering it. My managers were wise. If it is really server problem from 8 am to 6 pm allow 1/10 of trains booking every hour. It is server optimization.
