    Why this was not done in last 10 years. Why so much good things are happening now in railways. Last 10 years railways has been put in ICU. Because of this common man only getting effected. Go and see the Mr. Suresh Prabhu Twitter how people are appreciating the work and also how much work is going on. Out of 100 rupee earned by railway is spending 114, then how they spend money on development.

    Mr.Shivaprasad, don't worry, this people are jealous of Developments.

    They are ashamed, since 1947, they could not improve the facilities in Railway station, even toilets stinking, only this people good at negative comments.


    Karnataka CM is busy taking bribe like Watches, when caught saying it is a gift from NRI. Now court seized that watch, what a shame.

    Wait and see , this people go crazy after witnessing modern developments.

    Just neglect such comments which are harmful to the society & destroys the peace of mind of the people.

    Just follow the kindness of SIKH community serving food at Railway station.
