Shiv Ganga doing MPS thru a Jn - on every RailFan's bucket list

It is actually an offshoot of the RM giving more powers to the babus with an expectation of achievement of stiff annual targets. So far, all the tightening measures had been directed towards the hapless middle class paxs (often without other options). No cost control measures have been taken towards the review of perks/facilities to employees many of which are continuing since British Raj. Instead they have been showered with 7th pay commission costing additional 30,000-35,000 crores to IR, resulting in 70% of revenue going in salary & pension, thereby pushing IR to the brink of financial bankruptcy.

a company whether private or Public sector is in financial stress, the prices of its products never indiscriminately increased as being done by IR through Suvidha/Flexi fares. Instead, some of the perks given to the employees are curtailed (usually as a temporary measure) and the due pay revision/payment is deferred. But such kind of activity never happens in IR because of its monopoly status. If there is a competitor, any flexifare/ Suvidha fare scheme shall divert its paxs to its competitor rail operator and IR shall be forced to take balanced approach rather than unilaterally punishing paxs for its inefficiency.
