No one is blaming locopilots here. They are one of, if not THE most hardworking civil servants in this country.

Not doubting their hard work but no one is without fault in India. A lot of these Loco pilots are constantly talking to their loved on their phones or watching videos while running the train.

A lot of accidents do happen due to human error due to distractions due to above mentioned factors.​

I don't know about Chinese, but the ones used in for securing the area or for public safety are rock solid, almost nothing happens to them they are quite expensive so don't know in this case it would apply.

It wont apply here as most cameras are Hikvison types. Its not about damage but they get stolen or broken. Here we are talking about Indian public who even break concrete barriers on highway to get a shortcut access.

Old project getting revived. They once floated a tender for 238 air conditioned EMU BG sets;

MRVC Invites Bids to Supply 238 New Mumbai AC Locals, But You Won’t be Boarding One Soon

MRVC may have invited bids for new Mumbai AC locals. But you may have to wait a while before you get to travel in one. Here's why:

But eventually, the tender got scrapped.

Since then they have been toying with the idea of running modified Vande Metros as EMUs.

The basic expectation we have is that everybody will get AC. For India to make AC a class thing simply perpetuates this idea that your birth determines your social status

You've made some pretty strange conclusions here.

Non-AC trains have always been more about affordability for the masses. It's a basic price differentiation strategy and has always been a business decision with very little do with caste or class.

We're still a $3k GDP per capita economy, In the foreseeable future and in the next few decades, all trains will eventually become AC as India gets richer and the prices of manufacturing AC coaches comes down.

They tried replacing non AC coaches with AC coaches on LHBfied trains (because it made business sense; IR makes good money out of AC coaches). The result was for us all to see. They have started adding non AC coaches since. And it is not possible to subsidize AC coaches (to make it 'affordable' for the poorest) given IR's finances. We can, however, provide affordable short distance commutes with AC coaches and that is what the Ministry is aiming to do.

Ignore bad faith arguments.

Apart from investing in high-speed railways, the Indian government should also prioritize the development of more airports, roads, and an increased number of general class and sleeper coach trains. The revenue generated from high-speed railways can be used to expand existing railway lines, reducing congestion. It is disheartening to see passengers crammed into trains, a problem that can be addressed by increasing the frequency and availability of trains.
