One is the progressive use of inter-communicating coaches, what are known as vestibule coaches, in the train so that even during the running of trains, checks could be carried out without delay in running. Another is just as we have propaganda pamphlets regarding properties of the railways, we might also have propaganda pamphlets regarding ticketless travelling, inviting public cooperation or passengers cooperation and saying that wherever they detect any ticketless travelers, they might at once convery the information to the authorities concerned. Another suggestion is that a more deterrent punishment than is given hitherto to the ticketless travelers, should be given. After all, it is at the cost of those who are paying fares that this ticketless travelling takes places or the ticketless travelers are enjoying. I would also suggest that but for the connivance or active help rendered by the railway officials, this would not have assumed such a large proportion and a concerted action must be taken with regard to that also, namely, instantaneous action should be taken to punish the persons who are involved in helping the ticketless travellers. I should like to refer to some of the votes on this bill, particularly vote no. 50 regarding the ministry of home affairs. A good deal has been said about the need for the relaxation of the present state of emergency. I would not be one of those who would like to weaken the defence effort of the government, and I think that the time has come in view of our experience of the proclamation of the emergency, for us to think in terms of amending the constitution increasing the powers of the union government in respect of the control of the economic life of this country. This should be a part of our regular constitutional framework.
