Honestly, can we expect anything more from these AC-cozied bureaucrats? For everything, starting from survey for new line to LHBfication of a train, even augmenting extra coaches to a train, they need permission/approval from the railway board. And how many times has anyone from RB visited SWR or any other zone territory to get a grip on the ground reality? Zilch. As a result they have no idea on the decisions they are making.
As a result, we get to see ludicrous things like Rs. 789 crore for coaching terminal at NHY when not more than Rs. 80-100 crore is really required, and Rs. 1000 is allotted for washable apron for coach maintenance at Raichur, and on the other hand nothing is...
more... allocated for development/expansion of DVG, HPT and BGM stations where expansion is badly needed!! And when people they are 'tyring' to serve complain even about punctuality of trains, they block them on twitter. With such being the state of affairs, can we really expect any common-sensical and positive decisions from these people?
