Many passengers took to social media to highlight issues such as “IRCTC site not working” and “IRCTC website not working.” The downtime impacted railway ticket booking and disrupted travel plans for countless users. With the IRCTC server down, the organization issued advisories directing users to helplines and email support for cancellations and rescheduling.
