In its history of 167 years it is said that Indian Railways never stopped it's passenger services except on two occasions :- Feb 2,1901- for Queen Victoria's funeral &
Jan 31, 1948 - for Mahatma Gandhiji's funeral.
IT WAS INDIAN RAILWAYS HOMAGE TO THE DEAD THEN...BUT NOW IT IS INDIAN RAILWAYS SALUTE TO THE LIVING - by stopping the services for a few days.
One...
more... can understand the importance of this decision when the mighty
Indian Railways has stopped it's passenger train services and is running only freight trains, carrying essential goods and supplies to the entire Nation .
When the LIFELINE OF THE
NATION is doing its part, certainly WE TOO HAVE TO DO OUR PART....
