Bedi - not a masterstroke !

Kiran Bedi is not a masterstroke, it's a desperate stroke and prove to be fatal stroke for the BJP in Delhi. This is the feeling of all the civil servants in the AGMUT cadre who know the style! personality and functioning of the CM aspirant who is already claiming her to be CM designate.

Rlys. key to Industrial development

Efficient Railway network is key to Industrial development. Transportaion of goods across the country & evacution from Ports is the priority.

On passenger services where we loose 24 paisa per KM should only seen as transporter of large number of poorer class who have no alternative but to use Railway as means of transportation. Instead of BULLET Trains & World class Railway Stations, Railway should concentrate on cleaner Stations & Tran services. This can come about by better education of travelling class. Railway should also review the pending projects, many of them were sanctioned not on the basis of requirements but on Political considerations.What happened to Wheel Plant at Chapra/It was not needed & after compile77ion few yrs back is languising. There are at least 400 projects of this nature which need to be dropped. High HP Diesel & Electric loco plants proposed at Marora & Madhupura are similar projects & need to be scrapped. Another important area is Procurement, where Railways are not allowed to use the expertise they have.

Procurement covers in the entire gamut of activities from Important Purchase, Warehousing ,Distribution & Inventory management. In this age of Information let there be fewer warehouse & Supply even if needs Airfreighting.

This will ensure efficient use of Money. All materials should be accounted for.

Railways - worst management system

Railways is the best example of worst management system. Ticketless travellers are enjoying as usual. I find at many a station no checking of platform tickets. Cleanliness is far from reality. Too many people to handle a man's job. Most of the class iv employees might be more than 60 years and still working. No tangible development and moving at a snail's pace

Sivakumar

Congratulations
