User charge for railway stations

Also with electrification of the tracks all station space can be used to build infrastructure.

We are giving 4% of Income tax as Educational Cess. What's the additional Govt., initiative out of that money? Rather we have forced into Pvt education system day by day. It is absurd to expect distribution of money collected only to originating/destination station for improvement from a central ticketing system. If Railway is unable to manage they can increase ticket fare straight. No political gimmick is required keeping ticket same. more

One can see the road conditions after both life tax and tollgates.. more
