Entire social media for the past few days is filled with videos of travellers on trains struggling for space across all classes.
The absolute dead silence on this matter from the Railways and the Rail Minister is only making it worse.
Ironically, years of government amplifying the videos of Vande Bharat (a good service nonetheless) has been completely smashed right at the time...
more... of elections by these scenes playing out.
I just travelled on 11302 (not even on a weekend) from Bangalore to Mumbai, and while I was fortunate enough to be on coach A2, the general and sleeper coaches and even 3AC until Kalaburgi looked like a scene from hell.
Sure, one major cause is the reduction of sleeper/general coaches but this government as per data compared to earlier governments has performed exceptonally on the front of electrification and track Doubling/Tripling - What is the use when new trains are not being added on this newly created track capacity?
How does one manage to mess it up this bad?
