Today Railway Minister placed a Rail Budget in parliamentary, but before submitting Rail Budget he will says something like link this. "Due to inflationary reason , This year rail freight rates are not going to be increased, No Change.............? ".
But the truth will be beyond her statements. In fact Railway has increased railway freight across the board for all most all class of goods from 20 to 35 % wef 06.03.2012. Never in the history of railway such an increase has been done ,a flat increase of freight by 20 % which is gone by 35 % in few cases.Appox 70% revenue of railways comes from freight. So what more left in Budget, Just a bundle of Figure ? Few New trains ? New Factories in West Bengal ? Main thing of Budget (increase in rates) has already been done without any noise. To distinguish the deference see the below picture.

We don't mind in paying increased fare, provided the Railways properly cleans the coaches before departure. Rats and cockroaches travels along with the passengers in AC coaches making nightmare for the passengers. Having paid more money with an expectation for luxury travel, passengers could not even properly sleep due to the above menace caused by rats and cockroaches. Strangers are entering the AC coaches with the connivance of the coach attenders with an intention to loot the baggage of the innocent passengers. Unless proper flying squad is pressed into service , the image of Indian Railways would lower further forcing passengers to opt for alternative mode of transport.
