57 trains in last 2.5 yrs land 9 more to be started soon!! It is an eye opener!! It is a matter of interest that how many trains were started in rest of Indian states in the same period? Even a RM of UP would not have given so many trains to the state? Where is the statement that new trains shall be started only after capacity augmentation of the saturated tracks.
So the poll bound states to get large number regular (lower) fare trains and the other states to get special fare/Suvidha trains! This act puts a real question mark, whether merger of RB with GB or abolishing separate presentation of RB is done with intention of depoliticization or with...
more... an intention to give politicians/political parties a free run through byepassing of parliamentary scrutiny? There has to be some guide lines as to where regular fare trains to be started and where special (higher) fare trains, it cannot be arbitrary.
GKP-LTT, GKP-Panvel, GKP-BDTS !!! Very surprising three announcements for same pair of cities. I guess all should be weekly trains. Maximisation of announcement.
Then GKP-Badshah nagar. GKP-Delhi Humsafar GKP ki to balle balle hai.
Does the The largest city CNB suffers in matter of origination of trains due to fact that it is neither Zonal/Div HQ, nor State Capital?
Depoliticization of IR is almost impossible in the present setup.
Unless a common Indian voter become wise enough to understand such things, adoption of such practices/strategies by political parties shall continue.
