| Pilgrims get raw deal at Jammu Railway Station | | Face lifting plan fizzles out | |
Early Times Report
Jammu, May 19: Even though the senior Northern Railway authorities have recently made tall claims with regard to improving the plight of the Jammu Railway station and giving it a modern touch but the existing conditions only reflect the opposite scenario.
Concerned authorities in Jammu, it appears are in deep slumber and do not want to wake up to the ground realities.
The Railways may well have conceived the idea and intention of changing the things for better by facelifting steps at Jammu Railway Station which is quite vital given the fact that lakhs pilgrim tourists visit Jammu by trains from acroo the country.
The status of the plan is not known as yet but the fact remains till it is implemented for a new look of Jammu railway station, the responsibility of keeping it clean and its environs free of garbage dumps falls on the shoulders of the Jammu based railway authorities.
But it appears authorities at Jammu Railway station have gone into hiding immediately after the inspection visit of their superior officers was over . This only amounts to giving a raw deal to the pilgrims who face the wrath of scorching heat coupled with poor hygienic conditions at the Railway station.
Ironically, the announcements made by the General Manager Northern Railways during his inspection of the Jammu railway station have not been taken seriously by the concerned railway authorities.
The local residents who visit the Railway station to simply drop their passengers continue to be harassed by the employees in the parking lot.
The arrogance of the parking boys can be gauged from the fact that they authoritatively and aggressively demand a sum of Rs 20 simply for entering the parking area.
