Clippings: Railway station

The Indian Express reports that the denizens of Balwantpura in the state of Rajasthan having decided that ten years was enough time for the Indian Railways to construct a station at their town, turned up their sleeves, spat on their palms, and built it (the station) themselves. The station features has all the basic amenities, and is manned by a retired railway employee from one of the neighbouring villages. Four trains stop there now.

As they say, India progresses in spite of the Government and the beurocaracy that the British left us with.
