On date 2nd Aug, I found Yatra.com, a popular site for traveling, in trouble. I can’t say whether there was a problem in their database or they were cheating with their customers. As you can see in below screen shots, you’ll found some coding related issues. These issues are expected while web pages are changed frequently. Or it runs across various platforms. I run YATRA on IE7 on windows machine.

I entered FROM station name then i moved to next text box. Suddenly i found that i filled a wrong entry. But i was unable to move to any text box. Neither using key board nor using mouse. I was supposed to refresh page. Or to continue search with wrong entries.

Even though the page was not showing any error in loading java script, I found that their AJAX based search was not working properly It was not giving any station name” suggestion.
We also found many errors that time. But as per our assumption, some back end activities must going on. They must launch site in their testing servers first.

Well Now see what happen when my one colleague tried to book a ticket. YATRA was giving an offer that “Book any one rail ticket and get one airline ticket free” (domestic traveling). He found that most of the trains were canceled. We were surprised that how could it be happen with many trains while no one is seasonal train. We found same train on railway’s site. You can see it screen shot.
