[Resolved]  Indian Railways - East Coast Railway — Bike Stand Charges

Address:

Visakhapatnam, Andhra Pradesh

I am N Srinivasa Rao, a resident of Visakhapatnam, in regular intervals i have to go to Railway station for a 5 - 30 minutes, the bike stand, operated by railway contractor, charged Rs.5/- per bike whatever the time that means, for 5 minutes i have to pay the same amount, and after 4 hours they charged another Rs.5/-, it counts like this for every 4 hours. In the same city the Road Transport Corporation Bike stand which 1 1/2 kms distance from railway station under State Govt. Bus service throughout the district and nearby districts they have charged only Rs.4/- for 12 hours. I want to tell you that, this city is not a metro, and comparing to other railway station in another cities it is very high, somewhere it is 2 or 3. I think the contractor and some rly officials together doing this type of loot from people, some agitations are also done by daily passengers and in daily news papers also it comes, but for some days, after that all are silent and the contractor enjoying his excess money with the help of some local rly officials. Please look into the matter and solve the people's problem. For your information this rly comes in East Coast Division.
