Cleanliness is a must in trains or on platforms. It is impossible not to find beggars in trains or on platforms. Could it be because Station Masters or some other person might be getting cuts from beggars? It seems impossible but think about it and look around you, you might think, it is possible otherwise, what is the logic and reason for beggars finding a place in most trains and platforms and no action is taken on them? more

It could be a laughing suggestion but I feel is required. Keeping toilets clean is next to impossible in India because of our cultural heritage. I would suggest to start pay toilets in train for the passengers who wish to avail a clean toilet facility and charges should not be less than Rs. 10.00 per visit, apart from the regular toilets. How railways going to provide this kind of facility, it is upto them to plan and decide. more
