RAILWAYS CANNOT FOREVER LIVE IN COLONIAL ERA - GOYAL :
This is an old news in the circle that we were acquainted with since January 2018 .
10,000 Group-D railway employees, including gangmen and track men, have since been relieved from the houses of senior officers and put back into safety and maintenance work for which Railways was paying them .
THANK YOU MR. MINISTER FOR STARTING THE PROCESS OF CLEANING UP.
The next should be to make the railway officers retired as well as serving and the employees to forgo , if not fully at least partially their Free Travel passes , so that the Railways gets back to a HEALTHY OPERATIONAL RATIO. Despite the passenger traffic always showing an increase year after year why should Railways not aim for a good operation Ratio.
IS LIKE TRYING TO FILL THE POT WITH A HOLE .
PLUG THE HOLE FIRST ,THERE WILL BE NO NEED TO THE MINISTER TO SEND PERSONAL APPEAL TO MEMBERS TO FORGO THEIR SENIOR CITIZEN CONCESSION .
It is like cooking a meal and the cooks themselves taking the biggest chunk . All railmen are servants , public servants . Serve first then take from the Bowl should be the philosophy all Railmen .
IN THE LIGHT OF THE TOPIC BRITISH ERA PRACTICES , it is important for Railways to train their Personnel in the freight section , so that more customers are attracted to utilize the abundant capacity to haul freight and parcel ; having a definite price edge over the other operators . This forms a big chunk in the rail earnings.
Out of the total revenue of Rs. 168,30,00,000, [1.683 Trillion] , 106,90,00,000 [63 % ]freight , 44,28,30,000 Passenger .
Should not the railways exploit this segment also through polite & good service to the customers ? Lack of this frightens the customers to come to book parcels . The behavior of the staff in freight dept. is frightening the customers.
SOME AVENUES FOR THE RAILWAYS ,INSTEAD OF TAXING THE PAYING CUSTOMERS MORE & MORE THROUGH UNFAIR PRACICES LIKE SURGIFARE , CANCELLATION FEES.
The rest like Rail and passenger safety , cleanliness and other passenger amenities and customer service are all service conditions of Rail duty . The Rail men should be appointed only on that condition . more

Athelets, Defence personnel, handicaped persons, senior citizens, Padma awardees, Members of Parliament etc are getting some benefit for the service they have rendered for the country. But the Minister, may please clarify, as to the reason why there should be free pass and various facilities to the Railway employees, even when they are getting hefty salary ???????????? more

A good step but simultaneously the minister should also look after many other burning issues the Indian railways is facing. To start with, the minister should immediately pay his attention towards: - timeliness of the trains with systems to promptly & immediately fixing up of accountability of the officers/employees found directly or indirectly responsible for the delay. Probably the minister has no idea of innumerable hardships caused to the passengers for such delay; - bringing down opening of reservation from 120 days to 30 days in advance, as chalking out travelling programme 120 days in advance becomes difficult and genuine passengers are deprived of getting a reserved ticket forcing him to approach the fraudsters for the same; - serving of quality foods in trains; - replacement of decades old coaches; - cleanliness in stations and trains; - security & safety of the passengers on board as well as railways' properties; and various other issues and avenues to supplement the railways income including those referred to by Mr. Jayakumar Daniel in the post. - more

I completely agree with Mr.Jayakumar Daniel. Free passes must be abolished in a phased manner. Freight movement which contributes 63% revenue should be revamped & streamlined with more customer friendly facilities & publicity. Movement of automobiles from manufacturing plant to dealers across the country is one avenue which Railways have not tapped adequately. Maximum priority should be given for this. more

This facility is started near Katpadi which will be of great use and reduce road Transport , reduce pollution and accidents. more

Free passes must be removed . If those departments feel they may give some allowance/reimbursement.Paying for the tickets and getting reimbursement will help all departments to have clear accounts. It will also control the misuse. more

As per report about 30,000 lower staff was deputed for household work ,Still 20,000 odd guys working at residences of officers and onward more

I hope this 10,000 isn't a token and be forgotten. We have to keep following up. As it is quite difficult to give up such free benefits , as we see legislators and ministers squatting in the quarters. more
