All government properties are used as personal property to give benefit to a bunch of business man and leaders. The railway is also one of them. slowly it will be in such a shape that people will not use it. then all the passenger train will also converted into goods train and it will be used for transport of goods. I have seen passengers tranis sealed and converted as goods train in western region. not to sit in train alarm was raised when train of south went to north and train of west went to east crossing all signals and stations. This was message that dont sit in train otherwise there is no safety of your life because these incidents killed over 100 passengers due to hunger and shortage of water. general coach removed so that citizen stop depending on train. all is game plan because people of india dont speak until a sword is not on their own neck. unfortunate but we are living in country of dead people more
Certainly there’s an effort to make Railways viable and progressive. In the process, there may be certain changes. While I am not sure about the removal of general coaches as I haven’t traveled by train for last 2 or 3 years, I find that second class seats are also reserved in many trains. Even passenger trains have been redesignated as express trains without any improvement in their running. At the same time, during last 7 years or so, train services have been both augmented and increased. I am not sure whether these changes have benefited people or not but the grievances of people should be taken up through appropriate forum instead of writing acrimonious resources. more
I'm unable to understand as to how you could reach to such a conclusion, which is totally unfounded. Instead of dreaming, one should be practical and guided by facts and figures! I don't find any possibilities of becoming your dreams true in coming centuries. more
