Writing expedition

It is the litany of complaints that has led to letter-writing expedition. In the National capital where national civil volunteers came to collect clutter and converse, there were plethora of letters that remained undiscovered for long. One such letter which saw the light of the day and tubelight of the night was on a sector on which barely few had spoken.

The letter addressed to a commoner stated the state of preparedness of indian railways. Coming close on the heels of preparedness of india roadways and rashdrivers, this report tried to resurrect the hope that indian railways is truly and temperamentally strong enough to transport any load from any part of the country.

Though 97 per cent of tracks are solid enough to store and secure the passenger movement, enough thought needs to be given before more rails are run with unforeseen ton. No new acquisitions have been made over the years, the letter pointed out, highlighting the department can't be an artful dodger for long.

State of preparedness of indian railways coupled with state of mental health of those taking airways has been doing the rounds for some time. And it is high time before state of the mental preparedness/illpreparedness is spelt out.
