In Railway Budget speech 2012-13 , which was watched and heard by 120 crore Indians , then Railway Minister Dinesh Trivedi announced Jodhpur Delhi Bullet Train . This was a P.J. as we say in common language or a poor joke to citizens . Presntly Jodhpur - Delhi route is 616 km long out of which 250 km Jodhpur - Phulera line is still single and trains have to wait for crossing with freights and other passenger trains . The technology used in this section is also very old and old signalling techniques are used such that the Maximum speed of train NEVER goes beyond 100 kmph in any case.

So , is bullet train really required by people of region ??
The TRUTH is that -
1. Paasengers are forced to travel inside even bathrooms of trains because there is no space to sit due to lack of trains.
2. Passengers are FORCED to sit on rooftop of trains , specially when exams are conducted . Many students loose their lives , Shouldnt our Indian railway and ministers must be made answerable to parents of those ???

These are not any adventure reality show , this is ground reality when exam of jail recruitment board was conducted and where passengers are forced to risk lives .These incidents are common sight these days.
Study says that One Kilometre of bullet train track will require 100-200 crore rupees , so for 600 km of Jodhpur Delhi track the amount will cross thousands of crores.How will our government which keeps increasing petrol price every 10 days because of financial constraints get so huge amount ?? Isnt it justified to spend even 1% of that money on improving existing structure first ??

I hope our ministers see this and do some needful instead of just making false announcements which can never be implemented.
