Theft/dacoity in the Train
Long distance trains have Railway Policemen on duty at nights, and also a TTE is on duty. We do not see these policemen except for one round they make around 8.00 p.m. Once tickets are checked, the TTE also vanishes.
Such thefts cannot happen without the concurrence of the Policemen on duty. Unless the Railways make the policemen accountable for any theft that takes place during their duty time, with stringent disciplinary action, the situation will not improve.
Till courts start awarding compensation from the Railways to the affected passengers, Railways will not wake up. more
