Please it is a humble request from every people of chinyali that the train should not go from our fields it is the only way for us to survive already NH-94 has troubled us because people’s are not able to do farming because cows and bulls are eating all the crops when their was no NH-94 then every one was happy because they can cultivate there land happily but now no one is happy. So it is a humble request please change the route of train that it will not effect our fields.
Thank you
