<b>Letters:</b> Half a track I

Mamata Banerjee’s railway budget promises to make life a lot better for the common man. She has focussed on rationalising the tatkal charges, on ensuring safety aspects are taken care of, and on replacing worn-out tracks. The idea of using post offices to book railway tickets is good and this will go a long way in reducing the serpentine queues at railway stations. The only worrying factor is that the budget is more focussed on expenditure and there has been virtually no examination of schemes to generate more revenues.
