Government may consider not giving permissions to open shops in the sides of National Highways and State Highways. Now most of the vehicle users are parking and using 50 percentages of roads. Inner roads could be used for shops rather Highway facing buildings. Also existing shops should be moves to inner roads of the cities. This will eliminate unnecessary traffic jams and will reduce deaths in road accidents. This approach provides less tension to drivers.

I have seen in todays newspaper that authorities are planning to introduce dynamic charges for express trains like in flights. Flights are not a common mans everyday usage and so its okay to have any type of charging. But railways are not like that. Please make things more affordable and more comfortable if possible. Please don't do Such non sensical things. Before thinking all these, first increase number of general bogies in all the express trains. It will be helpful to lot of us.

Regarding 'Bhumi Adhigrahan Bill' / 2015,I want to tell that at the time of 'Land Acquisition' 'Proper Compensation' is not to be considered only.But,it is to be ensured that at least one person from each family should get job under Indian Railway as per his/her qualification up to the age of 50 years considering the matter as special matter if the land is acquired for Railways.This should be applied for 'National Highways' & other 'Land Acquisition' purpose like infrastructure matter also.

Many times people trespass because of congested foot over bridge, Unplanned train diversion from one station to another, very limited availability of foot over bridge or only one side foot over bridge availability and finally poorly planned foot over bridge which is either too difficult to climb or very badly maintained. Railways must survey all places where such incidence are high and try to work out solution individually and always design new station keeping these learnings in mind .

I have an idea for compensate a big amount to the person who died in train accident .That can be easily possible with I policy. according to this policy u can issue ticket with I policy with the cost of RS10,Rs50 and Rs100 extra for general,sleeper and AC respectively. At Starting u can say that it is voluntary.after some time u can compulsory for sleeper and ac class.u can issue it to daily passenger with the cost of rs150.It may be possible some deficiencies are in the scheme it just a idea

i would like to tend your attention about accident on Railway plate forms. It is only due to about 1 ft' gap between plateform & train .The height of plateform is also about 1 ft' below to the train bogey floor. Lot of video clips in IT media could irritate every one. Hundreds of death in country every day on different plate forms of many rl station. It could be stop by bringing both the level remain same.it could be done by bring railway track down only at plate form length with proper gesign.
