DYFI rail roko in Palakkad - who suffers?
February 6th, 2007
DYFI did a “rail roko” dharna at Palakkad railway station yesterday. They were protesting against the creation new Salem railway division. It is feared that creation of Salem division will affect Palakkad division and will also affect Rail infrastructure in Kerala.
Now, who suffered due to the agitation? DYFI managed to block trains from 7:30 to 10:30 at Palakkad. The trains delayed were Kerala express from Delhi and Amrita Express between Palakkad and Trivandrum. Funny, isn’t it? The people who suffered are all Malayalees 
Why don’t the police take criminal case against those who sit in the tracks? Why don’t they clear the track immediately?

Have even DYFI done anything creative for Kerala except so many strikes like Secretariate ‘Valayal’ , Collectorate ‘Valayal’, village office picketing, now they are in power. The railway minister is once DYFI leader M.Vijayakumar, he cold have called Lalu over phone and settled matter. Instead they want to disturb poor people. Why not the 19 LDF MPs stage a dharna at Railway Bhavan?
This Salem Division if comes, we are not going to loose anything, only some offcials will get transferred from PGT to Salem.
Have any of MPs travelled by sleeper class in Kerala, I had seen even chota neta of CPM preferring fisrt class or 2 A/c they dont travel by sleeper class.
The coaches of Kerala express sleeper are the worst in this country. Even passenger trains running in TN or North have better seats. Just go inside Anathapuri express and compare it with Kerala express.
Who hears all these ?
DYFI want to divert attention from their inter party fued, and those people suffered 2 days journey from Delhi and waiting to reach home before night are punished again.
Thats all.
