- (b)  and  (c)  Indian  Railways  have  undertaken  rationalization  of  the  time table, including stoppages, in a scientific manner with the assistance of IIT-Bombay.  The  exercise  has  been  undertaken  inter  alia  to  provide  for better passenger safety by creating maintenance corridor blocks, speed up  train  services  and  minimizing  conflicts  in  existing  time  table.  Since November-2021 train services are being operated as per rationalized time table. Indian Railways do not operate train services on district wise basis, as  railway  network  straddle  across  state  boundaries.  However,  prior  to the outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic period, Sawai Madhopur station was being  served  by  142  train  services  and  the  station  is  presently  being catered by 140 train services. Besides, provision of stoppages of trains at a  station  is  an  ongoing  process  over  Indian  Railways  subject  to  traffic justification, operational feasibility and resource availability.
- (d) There is no proposal for privatization of railway stations under Sawai Madhopur district of Rajasthan.
