Sir: The late running of trains has nothing to do with the rains. Late running by 6 to 8 hours is a regular feature of all trains traversing through Bihar and Eastern U P everyday.
Laloo has got carried away by all the attention he gets for the alleged profits made by the railways. In my opinion, (AND I SINCERELY HOPE I AM WRONG), the railway profit figures are all cooked up and a massive con job on the people of India. Unlike in the Private Sector, there is no timely and honest audit and with the Chara Chor around, it is too much to expect honesty in these figures of profit by the Railways.
