Good gesture by Konkan Railway. Just goes to show where there is a will, there is a way . Given to understand the topography of this region, which in itself is beyond human control, I hope KR will similarly gear up in-the-near-future to avoid any impediment and inconvenience to passengers -especially during this time. KR on its part has displayed a good impression to the travelling people in general, by restoring services within the shortest possible time. I wish there are many more trains introduced so that people are exhorted (encouraged) to travel by train and deterred (discouraged) to break the spinal chord of the nefarious bogus bus mafia which is a grave risk to KR. Long live KR. |
