Increase in Tatkal quota
Ramki has pointed out a news item in the Hindu that talks about the decision to increase in tatkal quota in select trains just ahead of the Railway Budget this year.
1. Why wasn’t this change part of the budget itself (or if it was, why wasn’t it given more publicity)?
2. Isn’t it queer that even in The Hindu, the news about trains starting from Chennai appears in its Madurai section which most readers are bound to miss.
Whilst most of such decisions are made outside the budget, it only serves the respective ministers and the media to fool the gullible into paying more attention to the budgets while these invariably end up being damp squibs.
