Performance of the Railways is satisfactory when we see the data provided by the Minister. The growth of passenger traffic is 5 per cent. There is control on the working expenses. By putting in extra efforts, the earnings are increasing at a satisfactory revel. Keeping in view the demands and requirements fifteen new trains are being introduced from 1st July, 1992. We are thankful to the hon. Minister for this. However these are much less in number, considering the growing demand. The service improvement group of each and every area could be attended to and resolved to the greater satisfaction of the passengers.

As a result of these increase, prices will go up and, consequently inflation. Directly or indirectly the middle class and the lower class of the society will suffer.

The increase in the revenues will be helpful to the Railways and the elite sections of the society in one way or another. The thrust given to gauge conversion electrification and technical upgradation will further improve the performance of the Railways in the days to come.
