00:30the Central Railway Board and the State Government.

00:37As for the violations committed against the railway system,

00:44the Central Railway Board and the State Government

00:50have discussed this issue at least twenty times

00:56since they came to power.

01:01Three months ago, on 16 October 2024,

01:06the honoured Chief Minister

01:09sent a request to the Railway Minister

01:15regarding the railway development in Kerala

01:19at his office in Delhi.

01:25On 30 July 2024,

01:27the Railway Board and the State Government

01:32discussed the number of passenger trains

01:36and the number of sleeper coaches

01:41in the railway system.

01:45The Railway Board and the State Government

01:49requested the Railway Board

01:52to accept the number of sleeper coaches.

02:02In the first stage of this request,

02:05only two coaches of Parashuram Express were permitted.

02:11Sir,

02:16most of the trains have AC three-tier compartments

02:19and most passengers are required for booking.

02:25This is what the Railway Board has announced.

02:29At the same time,

02:31the Railway Board has announced that

02:34the maximum number of coaches and cars

02:37that can be accommodated in a train

02:40will not be allowed.

02:44This is what the Railway Board has announced.

02:47There are 22 LHP coaches in a train.

02:5811 of them are AC coaches.

03:06Another thing is that

03:09more than the number of coaches,

03:13if more trains are to be allowed in Kerala,

03:17if more Mammo trains are to be run,

03:21three or four tracks have to be completed.

03:26This is what the Railway Board discussed.

03:34The Railway Board has advised that

03:37if possible, these tracks can be completed

03:40at the own expense of the Kerala Government.

03:46But as far as Kerala is concerned,

03:49it is the Railway Board's property

03:52to build the tracks.

03:56This is what we think.

03:59Along with this,

04:01there are discussions on the Shabri railway line

04:04which is one of the busiest railways in Kerala.

04:13There have been dozens of such discussions.

04:16However,

04:18the railway situation is not clear.

04:23Kerala's opinion on this matter is that

04:25the Shabri railway line should start from Angamani.

04:31We are working on these issues

04:34with the Railway Board.

04:38There are many problems

04:43that train passengers face.

04:48As I mentioned earlier,

04:5011 of the 22 coaches are AC coaches.

04:55We are aware of the problems

04:58that train passengers face.

05:04The railway situation is more complicated

05:07than the actual situation.

05:17The passengers have to pay a large amount of money

05:22to the Railway Board.

05:25The Railway Board and the railway officials

05:30are taking note of all the problems

05:35that train passengers face in Kerala.

05:41The Railway Board will continue to pay attention to these issues.
