Debates & opposition concerning these issues are part of this process & those that oppose cannot be termed 'vested interests' by those that seek 'speedy' privatization with claims that the aam-aadmi is paying a huge price & that privatization has already made things move towards services becoming world-class (whatever that

12 April 2012 - 8:24am — silkboard

We had done such rush hour train watch exercises two years ago at Whitefield station. Last week, got a chance to do it at KR Puram station.
