It said that on average 888 crore requests out of 1,538 crore in a month were bots, and those were flagged as automated requests and their access to the e-ticketing system was denied.A bot is an automated software application that performs repetitive tasks over a network. It follows specific instructions to imitate human behaviour at a faster rate. In a written reply, railway minister Ashwni Vaishnaw said that such “spurious attempts” that were denied access to e-ticketing systems was the maximum in June — nearly 66% of the 1,912 crore requests by bots.“Bot manager in the system protects websites at its own cloud servers by using user behavioural analysis, bot signature/ pattern matching, and real-time risk scoring to instantly distinguish humans and bots and software,” an IRCTC official said.Vaishnaw said the train ticket reservation system is robust and highly secure, and equipped with industry-standard, state-of-the-art cybersecurity controls while highlighting measures taken by railways to safeguard the system from cyber attacks, and prevent auto-filling of forms by hacking tools to curb fraud in Tatkal ticket bookings.The minister said that multiple protective layers such as network firewalls, intrusion prevention systems, application delivery controllers and web application firewalls have been deployed to safeguard the system against cyber threats. He added that little over three crore suspicious user IDs had been deactivated and 6.2 crore had been placed under revalidation during 2025-26 and 2026-27 (up to June 30).The ministry said that 503 complaints have been lodged on the National Cyber Crime Portal for suspicious booking and 13,343 suspicious emails have been blocked in the past one-and-half years. In addition, since 2021, Railway Protection Force has arrested 22,676 touts and legal action has been taken.Get the latest India News and Live updates.

What kept you waiting?” Annamalai asked in a statement.Reiterating that protest is a fundamental right in a democracy, he urged the Centre to engage in meaningful dialogue, ensure transparency and take swift action to address students’ concerns.Annamalai said he had consistently supported NEET, arguing that it created a uniform admission process and offered students from underprivileged backgrounds a fair opportunity to pursue medical education.However, he said the system had lost credibility after the NEET-UG question paper was allegedly leaked three times in the past five years.”Imagine the amount of pressure it puts on students, who had to go through the examination process yet another time when the system that was supposed to bring in uniformity was failing,” he said.Alleging there had been “no accountability” for the repeated leaks, Annamalai said the failure of the examination system pushed students onto the streets.”I believe strongly that it was that moment that brought in a shift in the minds of the students to take to the streets to cry their hearts out,” he said.Stressing that a nation’s strength depends on the confidence its youth have in public institutions, Annamalai warned that the education system risks losing credibility if students no longer trust its fairness.”If our students lose faith in the fairness and credibility of our education system, we are jeopardising the future of our nation,” he said.At the same time, Annamalai urged students and protest organisers to remain focused on their original demands, cautioning that prolonged agitations often attract people with vested interests seeking to divert the movement for political or unrelated agendas.”If you remain silent and let these people with vested interests further their agenda, then you are deviating from your core objectives. Please do not let it happen,” he said.toi newsGet the latest India News and Live updates.

Ghosh resisted, leading to a brief scuffle before marshals carried him out, triggering protests inside the Assembly.Industries minister Tapas Roy initially proposed that Ghosh be suspended for the remainder of the ongoing Assembly session. However, chief minister Suvendu Adhikari suggested that suspending him for the day would be sufficient.”This type of behaviour is not acceptable. We are also in an opposition post, but there is some responsibility. Akhruzzaman is a senior MLA and his father was also a long-time MLA,” Adhikari said.The Speaker subsequently placed the proposal before the House, and Ghosh was suspended for the rest of the day through a voice vote, with support from BJP legislators as well as members of the rebel TMC faction.Internal TMC rift spills onto Assembly floorThe incident highlighted the deepening divide between the Mamata Banerjee-led ‘Kalighat’ faction, to which Ghosh belongs, and the Ritabrata Banerjee-led rebel camp within the TMC legislature party.Ghosh alleged that his name had been removed from the list of speakers despite being nominated to participate in the debate on the Home and Hill Affairs budget.He claimed the move prompted his protest inside the House.The confrontation comes a day after disagreements over the Opposition’s list of speakers exposed tensions within the TMC legislature party.Legislators aligned with the Kalighat faction had alleged that names recommended by them were being dropped from the speaking list, reflecting an ongoing battle over floor coordination and control within the party.Assembly proceedings resumed only after Ghosh was removed from the House.Get the latest India News and Live updates.
