Is privatization the solution!!!

Hii Everbody,

I was surprise to read Porters article as it elucidated the legalities pertaining to aforementioned class in general. I was taken aback by the topic, as I never thought of such niche segment in general. However, this one article seems to be paradoxical. Though on one hand porters are not employed on Government of India’s payroll but the same is licensed (controlled) by the railways to earn a livelihood by offering his services to railway passengers for transport of their luggage.

As like all other policies, people have found ways to go around it and have been successful in finding the gaps, which exists, in the present framework. All I suggest is that at least porter policy should be privatized which will result in better functioning with some degree of control over the price charged and number of hours worked by the goverment. For instance: Toll Tax collection on Delhi borders which was rendered in private hands few years back have resulted in better collection and operation. It’s even a good method to measure the effectiveness of policy thus changed, as management of porters must have been left to a private agency. Though this is not a casting stone solution and there might be other ways to puzzle out this challenge.

My thoughts though!!! Anticipating your comments!!!!! Cheers!!!
