Indian Railways never was business, at least when comes to service of passengers, since its inception it was  heavily linked with social obligations being national transporter.

But now, it is analysed through media that,when entire nation is suffering in Covid situation,Few Babus of railway board without studying fabric and diversity of Indian commuters, by asking suggestions from IIT bombay in AC rooms , decided to implement zero based time table which will be death blow fro tire two cities and small to medium sized stations.

1.More than few thousands of trains are going to be cancelled permanently

2.More than 7000 Use full stoppages of small stations gets eliminated

3.Poor friendly Passenger trains gets converted to express tag with same speed but hiked price of ticket.

In short Indian railway will become private profit company.

By this zero time table , 6000+ stoppages of rural India would be eliminated, more than 3000 trains are going to be cancelled in permanent basis even though they have 50-60% occupancy.

Idea behind this is saving 2-3 hours of long distance trains duly clearing paths, but reality is its tricks of handing over freed path to private operators.

Big metro cities can sustain by this reforms or assault but by saving 2-3 hours for citi centric trains , India's rural commuter get severe trouble, have to pay express charge for passenger train, have to travel district head quarter to board express trains.  

Indian rural and taluk center stations cant show profit in ticket sales, 20-50 people if they use one express train also it is wrong to cancel those stoppages as its duty of IR to cater each citizen.Let them control future stoppages no issues but removing existing stoppages will kill small stations and business eco system flourished around these systems.

Also each running train has its own commuters dependency, cancelling those trains to create path for goods and private trains is nothing but grave injustice.

If Indian Railway wants let them hike price of all class by 100-200 rupee and by that money let  them build tracks and Platforms, but cancelling trains and showing punctuality is such croock method.

This exercise of Indian railway officials will mark in history that, who converted Indian railways from Peoples life line to money making limited.

Immediately stop this Zero base time table to save Indian railways  and to keep it serving common man, All trade unions and patriotic citizens should immediately stress for stopping this exercise.
