Railway need to allocate responsibilities to its employees: Railway stations, platforms/ over bridges connecting platforms in many stations are occupied by vendors causing problem for the commuters. You can see this in many stations in Mumbai & Chennai. Many beggars live on the platforms with families. Many people who are not passengers or their relatives congest platforms. They do it right in front of the Station Master, CPRF contingent and many others. Does this mean that no one posted to the Station is responsible for maintaining railway station? Is it that only the Railway Minister is responsible and the Railway Dept couldn't care about the unauthorised occupants. Railways can collect revenue by giving the space on lease to vendors. We all know that the Hafta system benefits the local station authorities. Can't the Railway Board do something about this menace? Another big problem is beggars in trains travelling with you from Kashmir to Kanyakumari. I counted once about 80 beggars visited my compartment during my journey by Mumbai-Chennai Mail. Don't they pose serious security risk to the passengers? Another sorry state of affairs of lack of ownership for security in Railways can be seen if you visit Chatrapati Shivaji Terminus. When the Terminus was attacked by terrorists(Kasab), immediately we saw installation of magnetic detectors at entry points. I have never seen them working in the last many years. Why to install such systems just to make a point to the opposition in Parliament. Last point I want to make is about Railway employees putting up posters in Railway premises and ruining the entire surroundings. One can see all the union posters in Chennai. Railways is a public place and need to maintain customer friendly atmosphere. Hope some one some day take notice of such routine responsibilities and bring up the Railways. more
