Tired of repeated setbacks in setting up a ticketing system to generate income, a young 23-year-old woman reportedly committed suicide near the premises of the Central Railway (CR) headquarters at the Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus (CST) yesterday. Anita Patel, a resident of Dombivli, had been running from pillar to post to obtain the necessary permission and internet connectivity so she could sell train tickets under the Jan Sadharan Ticket Booking Seva (JTBS) scheme.
