{/googleAds} May we therefore take this opportunity to suggest to you to introduce in all trains, a special compartment or bogie, particularly in the long-distance trains, for the senior citizens, with structural changes aimed at safety and convenience of the elderly people.

This may not mean much loss to the exchequer but in terms of creating conditions favourable for the ageing population, it will be a meaningful gesture, and might even win you some extra votes.

On my journeys across India, I have found elderly people struggling to climb up or get down from their berths. The toilets too could be suitably designed to take care of the peculiar needs of the seniors.

We are confident our competent  railway  engineers can come up with better
designs. Take the challenge..


With warm regards


Yours sincerely
