Vashi2Panvel.Com: Navi Mumbai: May 17: Apropos your story 'Navi Mumbai residents now insist on clean railway stations' dated May 13. First and foremost CIDCO needs to up-grade and up-date its web site which is short of all the information/feedbacks required by you and me. Only then will CIDCO be able to undersand our greviances. Or else all would fall into deaf ears, because CIDCO does not even have the courtsey to reply back to e-mails sent to them. Secondly I have a bigger picture to sent to you than just this......


Its a long time ago that these stations were built and painted leave alone maintenance of the depleted granite tiles missing. They must have by now faced all the harsh weather and are standing disfigured interiorly. Hence a big hand to Cidco who are instrumental in these modern day mammoth wonders built awesomely. But, will these ever be re-painted? Or at least white washed. In that case Cidco can take a page out of the western railways old stations, which at least have the courtesy to white wash the asbestos sheets to give it a clean look to the out dated stations. Close on heals is a question? Who will foot the bill?

A simple, affordable and user friendly (PLAN) which is as follows:

1) The local trains are marketed for advertisements and so too are the stations, can a clause be added to accommodate (WHITE WASHING CHARGES) at every new contract.
2) Secondly the interior advertisements can be allotted to business houses who wish to maintain and white wash them simultaneously.
3) The sodium lightening too gives a dull get-up to the interiors and a very gloomy look, compared to the white mercury lightings. Hence the white washing will take care of that effect too.

Is the Railway Ministry and Cidco India listening to the humble cries of these silent wonders grievance calls? If implemented only then can we boast and have a clean railway stations interiorly. This can be worked out between the Railways / Cidco's and whom so ever concerned authorities. This will make everything interiorly look serene and cool to the commuters for whom these amenities are provided at a cost.

Please treat this on priority and do the needful to white wash these stations leaving alone maintaining them to give the daily commuters what the badly deserve.

Yours truly,

Fabian Edward Misquitta.
