In my opinion there are no coolie on the stations it all acts like snatchers robbers and extruders. Instead of Rs.40 or Rs.60 charges fixed by railway they start demanding Rs.300/- The trolleys at Howrah and Sealdah station also vanished which was a quite convenient system. Mamta has abolished that and now allowed the coolie to charge according to their choice. Every where in the world the trolley system is there why can't we can introduce this in India? more
