the speeding up of the Madras-Bombay Express and the Grand Trunk Express, I wish to say that with the return to normal conditions, it should be definitely possible to speed up these two express trains. I took up this matter in the Zonal Committee, of which I happen to be a member, but there, the technical people come and say that it is not possible to do so. Why it is not possible to speed these up, I cannot under stand. The Bombay-Madras Express was first introduced nearly 20 years ago. It left Madras at 8-30 a.m. and reached Bombay at about 10-30 a .m ., taking in all 26 hours. Now it takes two hours more. If it was possible to do the journey in 26 hours before the war, I cannot now understand why it is impossible now. There is a general feeling—whether it is right or wrong—but it is certainly a feeling of discontent prevailing in South India that only North India gets every
thing
