The million dollar question, as they say it, is what railways is contemplating to do for putting an end to arbitrary decision making by its rank and file about giving concessional tickets or not?
like: how many signatures should a certificate bear? what if it bears more than prescribed? Whether blind should be given concession in higher classes or not? in HP quota or not? The thing is not the existence of laws on these issues, but what if the rank and file defile the laws and sit in judgment over validity of transactions? Well, I think the otive is monetary: if they issue wrong tickets, difference is deducted from their salary? why so? Why not create data base of such fraudulent transactions and hound the culprits when they book next? instead of victimizing the rank and file who desist from giving concessions, and do give it as a favor? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Pranay Gadodia" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, May 25, 2007 1:29 AM Subject: [AI] Concession in railways > Hi friends, > i believe many of you know about our weekly radio show Eyeway Yeh Hai Roshni Ka Karawan. > > In the show, we have an advice section, where in we call up expert / experienced people to have their advice on issues related to eye and blindness.
