Rail-Budget

RAIL-BUDGET

This refers to Rail-Budget presented by honourable Rail Minister Mr. Laloo Pd. Yadav on 13th instant. What is first and final expectation of a passenger traveling by Indian Railways? It is a question to be replied by Mr Yadav. It is regretted that he did not utter even a single word on this important issue while presenting his interim budget. A passenger always wants completion of his journey timely and safely. He hardly bothers whether tea is served in an earthen pot or in a plastic cup. Mr. Laloo Yadav has not, as yet ensured his passengers a safe and time bound journey. Only after seven hours, the rail budget was presented, fourteen bogies of Howrah-Chennai Express faced derailment near Jajpur Road in Orrisa claiming more than twenty lives and serious injuries of several hundred passengers. Number of trains has been increased on same tracks for cheap popularity without considering important safety measures. Now-a-days no routine maintenance of tracks is carried out except emergency maintenance after accidents. Number of berths has been increased in the same coach ignoring the facilities of toilets and cleanliness. Is it possible to sit on any platform of any railway station like New Delhi, Howrah, Varanasi, Mughalsarai and so on without putting a handkerchief on your nose? Even Rajdhanis are not running on time. It has become a regular practice to keep the trains standing waiting at outer signals for hours in search of suitable platforms on all the big stations. Mr. Laloo Yadav sells dreams and always beats drum of his self proclaimed success by his own hands. He is master of this art. I would like to draw his kind attention towards timely and safe operations of all trains.

  1. Lalu Yadav has always been a man of rhetorics and the only way he knows politics is to announce populist policies rather than effective ones. How can he gloat over less number of railway mishaps, the number could be small but the lives lost could be huge. Can an airline be proud of itself saying that only one of its aeroplane crashes per year. Railway apart from providing cheap fair has to also provide better security. There were numerous incidents of looting in the trains this year in addition to molestation of women.What are the steps taken to avert these kinds of mishaps? Lalu instead of boasting about surplus amount and being complacent should concentrate over the safety of the passengers not just from miscreants but has to guarantee the passengers against any derailments and rail accidents and it is not a great service to the passengers but an absolute necessity for Indian citizens of 21st century.
