Respect to that 24000 people. Everyone needs to remember that it is because of railways constructed through thull and bhor ghats that Mumbai is connected to majority of India, Mumbai pune/nashik have come closer inspite of a yawning divide between them. But we need to appreciate that it is because of British that India has good rail network. Britishers constructed 1000s of kms in 100 years, that too through difficult terrains like thull, bhor, parsik etc. I respect the infrastructural upgradation by indian govt after independence, but had the tracks started to build after independence, indian railways would not even be half the size of network today. But hopefully, Suresh prabhu govt is much appreciable.
