Profit Derailed
Rail Roko ...Roko
Angry with the state? Stone the next train. This routine tells heavy on the railways.
- Agitators target railway properties and disrupt services
- The passenger revenue loss due to the Gujjar agitation alone was Rs 65 crore. Add loss of freight revenue and invisible losses, and rail officials say losses could be thousands of crores
- The otherwise lucrative Western Railway has shown negative growth of -1.3% this year
- Bandh-hit north posted 6% growth. The relatively trouble-free south recorded 11-14% growth from January
- Vandalism could stymie railways' targeted profit of Rs 1 lakh crore
