Well, this one is an eye opener in context of the biggest money making organisation of the country i.e. GOVERNMENT...The story goes like this...One of my really special ;) friends asked me for a little help which he thought I will easily oblige to with my Press card...He wanted to shoot at a railway station for about half an hour for a short film that he is making...But it wasn't really a cake walk as we thought ...I tracked a Railway PR's number...Then got to know through a railway journalist that the rules have changed from 1st of June for shooting a film (proper film, documentary, short film, super short film, mobile film...whatever)...Now you need to shell out COOL 1 LAKH RS to shoot for a day at the good old railways...Well, I still thought life cannot be so unfair...My determination to help my friend grew stronger...I advised him to procure a letter from his law college where he is still studying...But my railway PR friend told me..."Cannot happen boss...we need a letter from FTII Pune or something like that"...Basically from a media school....Now, my friend has already passed out of his media school in Mumbai.....
Well, so now we are exploring all bizzare ideas like involving some TV journalist in this or may be rope in a student of a media school to get involved and help us in this situation....
And for the reason why I m so keen on helping the friend....Well ;).....Anyways, railways killed one chance I had to impress him...Damn...

What is the state of Railway Security in India ? Take the case of KRC Margao
It is better to use sniffer dogs,than the RPF or CCTV cameras.dindooohindoo
The Disasters of Train Derailment in Goa Fenee land

Then there is the Bomb Threat at KRC Margao
o https://www.business-standard.com/article/news-ians/bomb-threat-at-goa-s-margao-railway-station-114120301011_1.html
Then there is the pandoos of RPF collecting haftas from pimps,hookers,thieves and smugglers,who spend their time in the station and platform
RPF pandoos are busy checking for hooch and fenee in the station ! Not Bombs ! This was stated by the AG !
http://www.navhindtimes.in/lax-security-measures-at-margao-railway-station-facilitate-easy-escapes/
How will pandoos check for IEDs and RDX.There is no X-Ray machine
They have a baggage room on the KRC platform at exit,where anyone can plant a bomb in his bags,and disappear,and it will explode after a few days or a few minutes !
And there are no baggage records ! After the blast – no one will know which bag blew up (forensically) !
One of the greatest achievement of the pandoo police of Goa is a crooked pandoo Duttagaru Sawant who caught 488 smuggled HELMETS,worth Rs 1.9 lacs !

He then demanded 3 free helmets – which were refused and then he arrested the 2 smugglers !
