Personal trains: Rahul Gandhi implicates govt of snatching away lifeline of bad
The Railways on Wednesday welcomed Request for Certifications (RFQ) for operation of traveler trains by personal operators on 109 paths with 151 modern-day trains. This project is expected to bring in30,000 crore in personal financial investment.
Mr. Yadav stated the Railways was running 2,800 Mail Express Trains, and 151 modern trains– for which the RFQ was welcomed– accounted for only 5%of them. “95%of trains will still be run by Indian Railways,” he said. The declaration comes in the middle of issues raised by Opposition parties over the privatisation of the Railways.
” More than 70 years after self-reliance, we have actually not had the ability to develop our railway infrastructure to provide travel services to all our travelers. That has actually been our focus– to provide trains on demand … this project is also in continuation to that,” he said.
