Indian Army has commenced full-scale patrolling in Demchok, eastern Ladakh, and will soon begin in Depsang Plains. This follows after initial patrols confirmed that the People's Liberation Army (PLA) of China dismantled its temporary structures and withdrew troops to pre-April 2020 positions. This action adheres to the October 21 agreement on "patrolling arrangements," concluding disengagement at two of the seven face-off sites that emerged from Chinese incursions in April-May 2020. Patrolling is done with prior notification to the PLA to avoid clashes. “Our patrols now have full unrestricted access to the five patrolling points (PPs) in Depsang and two in Demchok, which was earlier blocked by Chinese soldiers. The PLA, too, has begun its own patrols with prior information to us to prevent the possibility of any clash,” said a defence source in a TOI report.

Tatkal tickets on the day before the train's departure from the originating station. The booking window opens at 10 am for AC classes (2A/3A/CC/EC/3E) and 11 am for non-AC coaches (SL/FC/2S). For example, if you want to book a Tatkal ticket for a train departing on November 1, you can book it on October 30 at the specified times. Now imagine you need to book Tatkal train tickets for a family of five. This could cost thousands of rupees. Additionally, if you specify a particular berth, such as a lower berth, and it's not available, your money will be blocked for four to five days before being automatically refunded. The main concern is not the refund itself, but the time it takes to receive it. To save both time and money when booking Tatkal tickets, consider using the autopay option where you can use UPI (OTM)/debit card (OTM)/credit card (OTM) to pay for the tickets using a mandate. These autopay options are available on the IRCTC iPay payment gateway.
