I am not aware of how the system works, but shouldn't authorities voluntarily (don't know the legal term) investigate this case even though there is no official complaint?
There is victim's statement out in the open right?
Corporations like Uber universally coerce their servants to sign away their rights to litigation. The only mechanism they have is arbitration, chosen by the corporation.
Kudos to the entire team, as another commenter said, please don't be discouraged by the petty comments. It takes balls to admit mistakes in public. You have earned many people's respect.
I see, livemint's reputation for reporting facts is as dubious as nytimes. I say this because, livemint is owned by HT Media whose chairperson was a congress Rajyasabha (Upperhouse) MP.

I doubt you read the link I posted. The report was from Bloomberg not Livemint. Would you now discard that too based on another tenuous link?
> I would rather have some trust in the official RBI's figures
RBI has been unusually silent on this. As of December 10 (21 days before the final date), 80% of the demonetized currency was back into the banks [0]. So, even if you trust the RBI figures - don't keep your hopes high.
You are right, I didn't read the link you posted because the moment I noticed livemint, I kind of jumped to respond (possibly due to my past experience with the articles on their website). However my point still holds, if RBI is not releasing the data how are these Bloomberg or any other entity getting their numbers?
I went through RBI's press release for December 2016 and didn't find anything stating the $220 billion deposits (as claimed by bloomberg).
> if RBI is not releasing the data how are these Bloomberg or any other entity getting their numbers?
The Bloomberg report is based on sources. For a moment, lets discard the Bloomberg reports and look at actual numbers from RBI. The data from RBI on December 13 shows that 80% of the demonetized currency was already back into the banks. RBI has not released data beyond that point of time. Based on a reasonable guesstimate, I would expect the final number to definitely touch 90% or above. Besides, we already know that unaccounted income in cash is 6% - so don't expect a number lesser than 90%.
Ya, I'd like to know this too. I was just recently in India for 3 weeks and I saw day after day that IT was bringing in people for black money (usually to the tune of $1M USD equivalent). Just propaganda then?
IMO let's not waste the mods time with this, I feel that 99.9% of the visitors would associate the term CD with continuous dilevery and not compact disc
The new railway minister has been working relentlessly on improving the situation, we are already seeing a huge improvement. Trains are being run on time, it is a huge problem that doesn't go away overnight. I am willing to give the current government more time if they can stay the current course they are on.
Also, it would be nicer if you keep yourself updated on the latest development on the subject you are going to comment on.
RM's twitter handle is a good place to start.
A better way to solve it would be to sell the whole network in pieces and pay the taxpayer back, but no, they'll never do it cause nothing better than wasting taxpayer money.

Really? I our state the rails are not even well maintained and there frequent concerns being raised about the poor maintenance of the rails themselves. And what about the increasing incidents of train accidents and derailments?
And trains running on time? I think it has worsened in quite recent times. Things were a little better a while before. Now 30-45 minutes of delay, even in trains starting from near by stations are regular.
There is no silver bullet, govt is probably trying a multi thronged approach to address the problem. A Solar power plant is being built in Rajastan, Western India[0], one more in neighbouring Gujarat [1] & one more just got completed in South India [2], and there are nuclear power plants being built or in the initial design phase. These things take time, but there needs to be some interim solutions as well. Don't you think?
