IRCTC services restored after 3 hours downtime on Tuesday

The website of Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC) was down for almost three hours on Tuesday due to technical glitches. In a tweet at 10:03 am, the railway ticketing monopoly said its service was unavailable on the IRCTC site and the mobile app.

“Alternatively tickets can be booked through other B2C players like amazon, and Makemytrip,” IRCTC said in a subsequent tweet at 10:42 am. These players also route their bookings through the IRCTC services handled by Centre for Railway Information Systems, which is under the administrative control of the Railways Ministry.
