कोशी का प्रवेश द्वार — मानसी जं० - Prabhat Sharan

Once again, we find ourselves in a familiar situation. A train with 2.5 First AC coaches and 10 Third AC coaches has been introduced to one of India's economically weakest states during the festive season. The railway authorities are fully aware that these coaches will be fully booked, yet they proceeded with this allocation. Despite the high number of AC coaches, only two Sleeper coaches have been included.

This mirrors the practices of private bus operators, who increase fares during the festive period. The fact that the railway, as a governmental entity, has taken a similar approach is concerning, this is what we call "taking advantage of someone's helplessness."

Even if you disagree with subsidies being given to non-AC passengers, there was no need to include 2 Sleeper coaches in this train. It could've been full AC.

Including only two Sleeper coaches in this train, when it could have been entirely AC, seems unnecessarily patronizing.

It'll also be a havoc for people traveling in AC coaches.
