MUMBAI, June 11 -- Against the backdrop of the freak railway accident which claimed four lives in Mumbra on Monday, Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Tuesday said the Indian Railways is trying to convert existing suburban trains to air-conditioned (AC) ones. AC train fares will then be lowered not far from that of existing suburban trains. Fadnavis said he discussed with Union Railway Minister Ashwani Vaishnaw at length on Monday to prevent similar accidents in the future. He said the Indian Railways has decided to strengthen the carrying capacity of the suburban railways during peak hours in Mumbai and the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR). Rail infrastructure will also be scaled up infrastructure from a safety point of view while upgrading the amenities, he added. "As the first step, the rakes on suburban routes will be converted to air-conditioned ones with shutting doors facility. They will try to keep the fare closer to the existing fare of the suburban railways. We want railway passengers to receive services similar to that of Metro train passengers at a closer cost without discrimination," he said. He also said in the last 11 years when the Modi government has been in power, it spent the highest budget in the history of the suburban railway network for strengthening Maharashtra's railway infrastructure. Fadnavis was speaking at a press conference held in light of the Modi government finishing 11 years in the Centre. The state unit of the BJP will carry out a 10-day outreach program at district and tehsil levels to highlight the achievements and performance of the central government under Prime Minister Narendra Modi. CM Fadnavis dared Rahul Gandhi to debate with him on the latter's claim of rigging in the election system. "Gandhi and Congress have not been approaching the Election Commission with their doubts as the poll body has already replied to their objections in a 60-page reply," he said. Fadnavis said Gandhi was adapting 'Gobel's policy' of repeated false claims to create confusion among people to cover up his party's defeat. "If he (Gandhi) wishes to have a debate with me on this subject, I am ready for it. Any BJP worker can comfortably debate with Gandhi, and I too am ready," he said....
