The Railways was approached recently for arranging free train services for participants of the Maratha Morcha held on December 14 in Nagpur. But although two rakes of 15 coaches each were sought and brought from New Delhi to Mumbai, the outcome of it was loss of public money as the demand for expenses got cancelled at the last minute.
