Ms. Hina Manerikar,

It's really socking to see your post and surprised why you are here in this local circle. If you compare everything of present world with that of 50 years back (just because you are 70 years old) and get astonished how things are improving then please be at your present circle and don't enter into this Local circle, which is established to point out for improvement from what's available in present days and not for comparing with that of 50 years back and clap.

While I do agree that Indian Railways handle heavy traffic, please appreciate that's applicable for every department in India. Then in your opinion we shouldn't criticize any wrongdoings and corrupt practices.

It's really funny to see someone is judged based on his/her age (as asked by you and you are in your Seventies so you know everything). For your kind information I am 59 years old Engineer, and come across the transformation from old days technical hand-notes to modern computerized world in my career of 35 years (still going on). So do you think I need your unnecessary interference (god knows what's your intention) supporting what's wrong/corrupt is happening, just because it's better than old days- RIDICULOUS!!.

I have visited about 18 countries during my career (not with political Public money but by my Employer) including the most populated China and seen how the world has improved in last 2 decades, while in India Railways still consider a train running @ 50 KM/Hour (theoretical) as Super-fast and charge extra for that (Oh yes - 50 years back speed was 40 km/hour so be happy). Please spread your access a little wider out of Politics / etc., etc., and then comment please or most preferably refrain from commenting in local circle just to give a politically motivated comment that everything what's happening now!!! is excellent.

I have worked with few Ex-Railway officials in my career and shocked to know how corrupt that organisation is and there are people who even take bribe from their own colleague (of other department) to clear their tour bill / salary arrears etc.

Do you think we are there only to criticize- NO. There were hundreds of suggestions everyday in local circle but who bothers? Criticism is still the best way to highlight wrongdoings/ shortcomings and anybody interested can take corrective measure based on criticism, they don't need detail project report to understand the corrective measures, if interested.

Thanks,







Thanks, more  

Mr. Shibdas Mallick, I think you are being very unfair to the railways. I don't know how old you are, but we in the age of seventies remember how difficult it was to book a ticket and how many hours we spent standing in queues. If you consider that ours is the largest railway system and they are doing a fairly good job and more important they are open to feedback and are constantly trying to improve. I wonder even if any other country can manage such heavy traffic the way we are doing. I am not trying to defend their deficiencies, but we should give credit where it is due. Instead of being just critical suggest corrections and solutions so that they can improve their functioning. more
