Suburban Rail coaches deployed by Indian Railway

Bangalore has small 16 coaches of MEMU as against other METROs of 1000 numbers. That means GOI, Railway Board have treated Bangalore badly when it has come to Subruban Rail. Equally resposnsible are GOK, MP's, MLAs and lazy citizens of Bangalore who are willing to pay heafty tolls to enter hyped garden city.
SWR is the most profitable region in the country.

South Western railway is the most profitable regions in the Indian Railways. But, the railway ministry or the board has not made any increase in the rail traffic utilizing all the lines in the SWR region. The mysore region has many funds but it is not utilizing the same with great consent to the public. Their is no railway booking or rail ticket selling shops in bangalore. Atleast for every assembly constituency their must be a railway booking and ticket selling center which will help the commuters in a great way. Waiting long queues in Majestic is an hindrance to the public. Please look into this issue to have railway booking and ticket selling counters in every assembly constituency.

Order on BEML for supplying DEMU / MEMU / EMU coaches by IR

Indian Railway has ordered different coaches for Suburban Trains & this is apart from METRO coaches :
1. DEMU coaches on BEML during Jan'2012 for 20 Rakes of DEMU with 8 coach formation at the cost of Rs 20 / 21 Crore

2. MEMU coach Order on BEML during Feb'2012 for 8 Rakes comprising of two motor coach and six trailer coach

3. ACEMU 8 Rakes comprising of 9 cars order placed on BEML during Sept'2012

That means in backyard of Bangalore, even though DEMU / MEMU / EMU coaches are manufactured, but Bangalore do not get these coches for us.
SWR or DULT / IDD are struggling to get one Rake of DEMU / MEMU since last 3 Years and same rakes manufactured in Bangalore city are all over India.
Why can't BEML help the city by supplying one Rake of 6 coaches each for Bangalore every three months.
I think its high time that CM of Karnataka and Railway Minister interven and get the required coaches for Commuter Rail.
