The term ‘anti-national’ has found its way into one of the official press releases issued by the Indian Railways. Pune’s Divisional Railway Manager B K Dadabhoy used it to describe the actions of three women, whose only offence was being part of a protest group that held a train for 45 minutes.
On Monday morning, around 100 people participated in a protest demanding the Railway authorities to operate the Deccan Queen from platform number one, as has been the case for several decades until recently. Now, the train departs from platform number five due to “operational compulsions”. This has upset the Queen’s regular passengers, and they have been demanding that it depart from Platform No. 1, like in the old days."
first of all The passengers have no right to demand which platform is used for which train, it is a technical and administrative matter to be decided by the railway administration.
they can request and appeal for more convenience but the so called protest is "anti national "
Does the reporters and the Indian express editors and management think delaying a train for 45 minutes by a group of passengers is OK?
this while some union ministers are excoriated for delaying a train or a plane ?
The basic civic sense is lost stating one has freedom of expression and right to protest.
instead of condemning such stupid and harming acts by the general public the newspaper seems to find fault with the railway administration.
Try protesting in an7y American or UK airport that air india flight should leave from terimal 1 gate 1 .and see what happens !@
" Illegal chain-pulling is a serious problem on Indian railways; where miscreants do so to make unscheduled stops near their destination, which delays trains. Penalties for misuse of this facility include a fine of Rs. 1,000 and/or imprisonment up to one year."
Let this be implemented in the state of BIHAR where the ex pailway minister lalu is proxy ruling.
