Friends
Our country is a still a poor country, our economical resources are very limited and we just not wast hard earned money of the poor people (mind it, it is not the money of the so called tax payers, it is hard earned money of our poor farmers, factory workers, which ultimately paid by the tax payer after taking their sufficient share from it). I want a solution which is cheper, physibal, less time consuming, more viable, more useful, beneficial to the large public and practically possible, instead of polytical stunt.
All three proposal of railway in hill reason are suggested by three different people Rishikesh to Rudraprayag by Satpal Maharaj, Bageshwar to Tanakpur by present BJP and now we heard a new proposal by the central govt i.e. Dehradun/Vikasnagar/Kalsi.
These al proposals are just a polytical stunt and joke with Pahadi people, as I always heard whenever I pass through Dehradun or Kathgodam Staion buswala make a joke like "Train dekhne wale utar jao", actually the person who have not seen train is supposed to be backward. This is the one reason that a slogan of "Rail in the hills" imotionally attracts the Pahadi public and they feel it as realisation of their dreams.
It is more practical that our present railway stations in plains are given better connectivity to the nearby railway junctions (i.e. Bareilley, Moradabad and Saharanpur) and we have one railway sub Zone for better coordination and have a intra-state rail connectivity from Dehradun to Tanakpur.
After the completion of above railway connectivity we may think about the connecting our hill areas with trains. It may attract tourists coming in our state and also a realisation of dreams of Pahadi public.
But I am still strict to my previous stand that any activity of wasting hard earned money at cost of polytical stunt, imotions of the public, environment, economical physibility can not be tolerated.
