more... the speeding up of the Madras-Bombay Express and the Grand Trunk Express, I wish to say that with the return to normal conditions, it should be definitely possible to speed up these two express trains. I took up this matter in the Zonal Committee, of which I happen to be a member, but there, the technical people come and say that it is not possible to do so. Why it is not possible to speed these up, I cannot under stand. The Bombay-Madras Express was first introduced nearly 20 years ago. It left Madras at 8-30 a.m. and reached Bombay at about 10-30 a .m ., taking in all 26 hours. Now it takes two hours more. If it was possible to do the journey in 26 hours before the war, I cannot now understand why it is impossible now. There is a general feeling—whether it is right or wrong—but it is certainly a feeling of discontent prevailing in South India that only North India gets every

Yo, about the Madras-Bombay Express and the Grand Trunk Express going faster, I gotta say that once things get back to normal, we should be able to speed up these two trains for sure. I brought this up in the Zonal Committee, where I happen to be a member, but the tech folks there say it ain't possible. I don't get why they say that. The Bombay-Madras Express has been around for almost 20 years. It used to leave Madras at 8:30 a.m. and get to Bombay around 10:30 a.m., taking 26 hours in total. Now it takes two hours more. If it was doable in 26 hours before the war, I don't get why it's impossible now. There's this overall feeling—whether it's right or wrong—but people in South India are frustrated that North India gets everything.

Madras-Bombay Express aur Grand Trunk Express ki raftaar badhane ke baare mein main yeh kehna chahta hu ki normal halaton mein wapas lautne ke baad, ye dono express train ko zaroor tej karne mein sambhav hoga. Main is mamle ko Zonal Committee mein uthaya tha, jismein main sadasya hun, lekin wahaan, takneeki log aate hain aur kehte hain ki yeh sambhav nahi hai. Mujhe samajh nahi aa raha hai ki inhe kyun tej nahi kiya ja sakta hai. Bombay-Madras Express pichle lagbhag 20 saal pehle shuru hua tha. Wo Madras se subah 8:30 baje nikalta tha aur lagbhag dopahar 10:30 baje Bombay pahunch jata tha, total 26 ghante me. Ab isme do ghante adhik lagte hain. Agar yudh se pehle yatra 26 ghante mein sambhav thi, toh mujhe ab samajh nahi aa raha ki ab ye sambhav kyun nahi hai. Ek aam feeling hai - sahi ho ya galat, lekin yah toh South India mein maujood ek asantosh ki aavaz hai, ki sab kuch sirf North India ko milta hai.
