THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF RAILWAYS (SHRI MANOJ SINHA): (a) A few surveys have been conducted from time to time, on need basis, for specific purposes in the past. To analyse the number of passengers travelling by trains, Indian Railways have, however, developed a Data Warehouse, which provides this information. This information is analysed in Passenger Profile Management cells on Indian Railways. The overall data regarding passenger traffic is also published in the Indian Railways Year Book and Indian Railways Annual Statistical Statement which is also presented to Parliament along with Railway Budget.

THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF RAILWAYS (SHRI MANOJ SINHA): (a) to (c) As per extant instructions, all requests received from various sources for release of berths out of Emergency Quota are preserved for a period of at least three months from the date of journey. However, it is not practically feasible to compile all the requests as a very large number of requests are received for different classes and the voluminous work and manpower involved in this exercise is not likely to give any gainful managerial input commensurate with the work involved. (d) and (e) In order to meet the urgent travel requirements of High Official Requisition (HOR) holders, which includes Central Government Ministers, Judges of Supreme Court of India, High Court of various States etc. and MPs/MLAs, VIPs & other emergent demands, who are on the waiting list, a limited number of berths/seats have been earmarked as Emergency Quota in different trains and in different classes. This quota is released by the staff in accordance with the priority as per warrant of precedence and well established practice being followed since long. At the time of allotment of berths, preference is given for self travel of high dignitaries.
