I am a retired 60+ man. I come under the senior citizen group who is surviving with his wife on a ‘limited’ income that comes through interest from fixed deposit saving in a bank. But the dwindling interest rates has made it difficult for me to make both ends meet. Since a long time, I have voiced my grievances in several fora but with no result. This year too, since I came to know that the budget was to be presented on February 1, I expressed my anxiety about the kind of budget that would be presented and also my wish as to the kind of financial plan I was expecting. On the day of the budget, I was glued to my TV waiting for the Finance Minster Nirmala Sitharaman to come and present her budget 2020-21.

Local trains are the best place for pickpockets to rob valuable from the pockets of travelling passengers. The right time of these pickpockets to rob the passengers is either while the passengers are boarding the train or are alighting. Secondly, in the tremendous rush that the passengers travel in brushing shoulder-to-shoulder is also time for pickpockets to dig into the pant pockets of harrowing passengers. Well, this was the case of male pickpockets. Now, the women. In the crowded ladies compartment when the ladies standing side by side are busy talking to each other talking good or ill about their husbands, in-laws or children, women pickpockets board the train to sell small time wares that are liked by the womenfolk. When the women passengers turn to such women to buy something, they take a chance and rob their purses and anyhow make their way out. Earlier, there were a lot of purses that were stolen but now with passengers carrying expensive mobiles, the pickpockets have changed their target.
