I am in Ahmedabad and note the stepmotherly treatment it gets from railways. We need more trains on Ahmedabad-Mumbai route and also more trains to Eastern India and North India from Ahmedabad.
As Orissans expecting this Budget definitely be to get new trains and development of the stations with in the state from Mamata DI. All the freight earned are from here even 5% also not been spend for Orissa.
For the benefit of public,all porters in the railway station to be registered and they should be available on requirement through railway agency like call taxy. Special cabine to be opened and rail officials should be available to assign the porter and the rate for the lagguage to be decided by the officials. This is to avoid the porters fleecing the passengers.
This budget seems to be a time paas...Nobody seems little bit concern about quality of coaches...tatkaal avaiablity and also no of trains in between important stn.
Mamta will add a few junctions in west bengal, upgrade several stations in WB under the name of a national initiative and then go back to flogging the left & fomenting trouble in lalgarh

You disguised Congi supporter, why dont you use your authentic name. Just remember we have a democracy here and every state should get equal share of development not only Bengal since the minister is from that area.
A collosal waste of time having a railway budget - this was relevant in 1952 when railways was 30% of total budget. Best to scrap this and add a line item to the finance budget. Why not an airline budget, a fertilizer budget, a power budget?
This is just a way for netas to exercise patronage and appeasement ...

You are 100% correct. It is absurd to have a separate railway budget for the country when even states we have no such thing like road transport budget separately. Should be clubbed to general budget. Can avoid one day waste of parliament time and months waste of railways time.
EVERY RAIL MINISTER THINKS INDIA IS ONLY JUST NORTH OF NAGPUR. REST OF THE COUNTRY ALWAYS GETS VERY LITTLE ATTENTION. HALF OF WHAT MAMATAJI READS IS NOT UNDERSTOOD BY MANY.

True..Southern India especially the cities have a lot of potential for growth of modern trains as people are relatively disciplined than the rest of the country and not so crowded.

We buy tickets sincerely, we pay all the money and that is used for Bihar and Bongal where 75% travel without tickets.
