Punjab News- Railways fail to control rush on Ferozepur-Fazilka route

Ferozepur, September 8, 2013: The Northern Railways having its Divisional Headquarters at Ferozepur, despite number of representations by the commuters and passengers, for the last six months, have failed to control the rush on Ferozepur-Fazilka route and they are compelled to travel on the roofs of the coaches.  
Railways which is one of the life line of India, claims to provide the best services to its passengers and at the stations but these looks to be only in papers and no efforts are being made to improve the services.  The coaches of DMU train running on Ferozepur-Fazilka route were reduced by diverting the same to other new routes, without surveying the rush on this route putting a lot of inconvenience to the passengers. The passengers demand that the coaches on this route may be doubled from the present only three coaches.
Honey Gureja and Jimmy Manchanda, daily passengers on this route said, “The Railways should plan the new routes only when the infrastructure is available for the same.  The policy of the Railways to give relief to the passengers on the new route and putting a lot of inconvenience to the old passengers is not appreciable”.
