Dear Sir, Following suggestions : 1) Entry to railway platform should be restricted like airports . This should not be used for roaming. 2) Sufficient railway staff should be available in trains ( in reservation coaches.) . Unauthorised people entry should be restricted to reservation coaches. Normally seen sleeper coaches are full of un-reserved people and no restriction. 3) Doors of coaches always find opened. No safety in coaches. Doors should be self closing. Kindly look into this.

Dear Sir, I feel Indian Railways can earn huge amount of revenue by adding one or two extra coaches for regular daily passengers who does not possess slepper ticket and still they travel in sleeper coaches and pay amounts to the TTE's which railways can earn directly by providing tickets other than sleeper and higher than general tickets cost. Pl look into Prabhu sir.

I would like to bring attention towards very poor connectivity of kutch dist. To national capital delhi and other locations like Kolkata and Patna from where large number of people have migrated to work in industries present here.they are mostly from lower middle class of our society.so govt.should focus on these really basic facilities while developing bullet train also.

1. Our Country still have many unmanned level crossings. 2. Try to have 100% manned level crossings if possible with 100% Electric Lifting barrier gates with audio warning bell and train detection warning system. 3. Above all these, we citizens of India should follow basic rules and should not cross the LC gate when it is closed. We should make sure we follow basic rules and bring awareness with in our society on the same in the best and simplest way possible we can do.

We can use GPS/Sensors system in our railways security so that deptt.know everything about the train(location,speed) and same is shared with trains before and after one train so that if there is any stopping caused by anything following train can make a decision to stop or go.also deptt.can send any decision to any train acc.to situation. Since train runs on track which is only changed by station master if he know exact position of all trains he can save all accidents by signalling stop to train

Indian Railways reflects the true character of our rulers. Every thing is continuous improved by Govt but for the passenger the services and facilities are deteriorating day by day. There is no scope for any suggestion. Our rulers are incapable of solving problems. An administrative system in which no complaints are redressed, what use it is to have this type of dramas.
