With Rail Budget round the corner
Here is my wish list
1. No new project should be announced, Railways should announce only the projects which will be taken up as priority and will be completed in the next one year.
2. Importance should be given to connect all the pilgrimage places like Tirupathi, Shirdi
3. Rameswaram,...
more... katra ,ajmer to name a few.
4. Increasing of speed, LHB coaches should be given to trains which runs on high speed corridors. Giving LHB to intercity trains like Lalbagh, Brindavan to name a few.
5. Increasing the frequency of the weekly trains rather than introducing weekly trains just for the sake of increasing the number of new trains in budget. Eg SBC- GHY trains can be made daily with little change in timings.
6. Encouraging more private players in Indian railways. For eg LHB coaches can be produced by PSUs and private players. Eg BEML.
7. Effective Use of IT and automation. Automated level crossing wherever possible.
8. Cleanliness : Top priority to cleanliness in trains and stations. Giving power to clean staffs to question people who are making the environment dirty, Even fine them.
9. Create a mechanism when in IR can take feedback and complains for everything.
For eg. Taking feedback of food in Raj and other trains, and if the feedback is good it should be given more contracts. If the feedback is poor,
\]the caters should be removed.
10. Optimum use of resource. Reducing the turnaround time for the trains.
Some trains just run for 6-7 hours in 24 hours and rest it spends in the pit lines.
For eg: Hwh- YPR duranto can run daily in just 3 rakes.
