There goes another railway tragedy happened within same year. Is railways ministry or govt sleeping. Is there no value of life remains in this country. Bas 5 lakh muawaja dekar govt free hojayegi. No investigation will happen further. Where is this country heading? Day by day I am feeling ashamed of my country. Politicians are there just to fill their pockets. I am telling you no one will take responsibility of this incidents. Road p chalo to Porsche uda deti hai. Train s chalo to train hi palat jaati hai. Airplane s chalo to pocket Khali hojati hai. Feeling so sad 🥺🥲

Just visited Mumbai last weekend, it has somehow gotten worse over the last 5-6 years. Every 3rd or 4th road is either under construction or unusable. This girl from bumble legit defended Mumbai being safer than other metros literally after an illegal billboard fell on innocent people. The "spirit of Mumbai" is Stockholm syndrome, most of the victims/residents just don't know it or have grown numb to it. Every year people die on local train tracks and platforms, no one cares enough to do anything concrete about it. Mumbai and Bangalore are both spiralling towards being borderline unliveable. Delhi NCR too to an extent. But the unfortunate reality is that they are economic hubs, hence people are forced to work there. Decentralisation is the need of the hour, tier 2 and 3 cities must prepare themselves for reverse migration in the next few decades. I'm planning the same for myself if all goes well. It's not worth slowly dying in poisoned cities.

Over 1.5 lakh 'safety category' jobs in Railways remain vacant amid rising train safety concerns. "Fifteen percent of the posts for loco pilots are vacant. It is a critical category post. They don't get adequate rest as well as leaves." "The difference in temperature inside and outside the engine is 3 degrees. These days, when the outside temperature is 48 degrees, loco pilots work at 51 degrees. The railways had promised us that they would get air conditioning installed in all engines but they didn't do that." 10 plus years of BJP government, but they will never take responsibility for anything and blame everything on others. https://www.newindianexpress.com/nation/2024/Jun/18/over-15-lakh-safety-category-jobs-in-railways-remain-vacant-amid-rising-train-safety-concerns

Last year, I was travelling via the Metro towards Sikanderpur Station on the Yellow Line. As I was about to reach Qutub Minar station and the metro was as usual crowded. I had onboarded at Delhi Haat - INA, so no seat for me. Suddenly the metro abruptly stopped and someone started screaming. The inertia was so much that people literally lost balance and fell over each other. I am super confused because it almost felt like we got hit or something. The announcement speaker goes live and the metro driver asks "Haan kya problem hai?" Then on the same line Amidst this chaos we heard the announcement speaker. It was the driver. He asked, “Haan kya problem hai?” Then we all heard some lady say that Ladies Coach mei AC nahi chal rha. Man, I wanted to give that woman a tight slap right across her face. On the next station the station security was ready and the woman was apprehended. I realized that day that most people in this country are so dumb that they don't deserve first world amenities and services. Also, dimaag nahi hai zara sa but Confidence ho toh aisa. What do you think about people who act so entitled on Delhi metro? Picture: Peaceful day in the metro when I finally got a seat.
