catering and the toilet facilities in railways. Mamataji had announced to upgrade

started but on eastern corridor, no work has started as yet. It should be started at

one person from every land loser family should be given employment in the
railways so that they don’t resist in giving away their land. The Government will
have to develop infrastructure to run the trains at a speed of 200 km. per hour.

One train each from Allahabad to Jammu and Allahabad to Bangalore should be
introduced. An ROB at Rambagh should be constructed immediately. Kanpur
