A wake up call

News like these always make we think whether my state is really a 'Gods own country' or are we really literate?

"The woman was attacked between Vallathol Nagar and Kalamandalam stations just as the train was nearing its destination Shoranur. It was Charlie’s physical handicap — his left palm was severed — that helped some passengers sitting in the next compartment to take note of his sudden entry and exit."

Security in Indian Railways sucks. Let it be passenger safety or coach safety. They generate a profit Rs 10K crore and god knows what does they do with that.
Ever since this incident happened the usual blame game has started. Cant these guys stop blaming n start acting?? I wonder for what are they spending the crores earned in income ?

The current railway incident is yet another issue for all the news channels to boost their TRP. All this nataks will fall down in 2 - 3 days, till they get a new news scope. Continue all the blame games... Is this the best u guys can do ? Pity these news channels n the irresponsible policy makers in Indian railways.

Some people might say, it's practically not possible to monitor all the coaches. WTF!
What practically difficulty ? Nothings that difficult, there shud be some political will and fore sight... Vote for merit , not blind following n family ruling... A total Policy change is the need of the hour... N stopping of these idiotic blame games...

At present Railway security is zero. There is no security in ladies compartments and in most of the trains ladies compartment is the last one..ie in so many stations this compartment will not come on the platforms. Recruiting more people to RPF should be the first thing to do. Its a very small force comparing the user density for a start. The number of RPF people working under Trivandrum division for a reality check , its less than 20 women cops n less than 200 male cops . Is tht enuff ?
Even if they have enough people, the thing is they just have to be more alert, ignorance is the reason for the incident what has hpnd recently.

I have some suggestion... Railway can provide emergency alarm switches on all compartments. Finance is not a problem... One need the will to execute a series of measures and plans.A change is needed for sure...

There should be a lady cop posted permanently in the ladies comp, not for few weeks.

The new report mentioned that the people sitting in the adjacent compartments heard her scream. Yet they didn't bother to go and check, there was a funny cartoon in Mathrubhumi on that. When it comes to responsibilities it has to be collective and we cannot wash our hands off by putting all the blame on Govt.
Media is playing around with this news because it is a rare and never-heard-before incident in recent times as compared to the other rape and sex-racket news that is frequently appearing in the news.

Ladies should be careful. Never entertain strangers while travelling.
