Earlier, the Ministry of Railways has invited suggestions from the public for the forthcoming Railway Budget 2015-16. There has been an overwhelmingly response from the public and several suggestions have been received on different subjects which included computerization, electrical, electrification of lines, finance, foot over bridges, freight, Infrastructure, innovative ideas and railway lines, Road Over/Under Bridges, crime prevention, safe running of trains/Disaster Management, tourism related services, new trains, extension of trains, augmentation of trains, frequency of trains, pantry cars & catering etc.
The Minister of Railways Shri Suresh Prabhakar Prabhu has appreciated the public for their response and thanked them for their concern and cooperation. In a statement Shri Suresh Prabhu has said “I thank all of you for giving ideas on the website. I fully appreciate your desires to make the Railways better in the shortest possible time which is, in fact, my mission too. However, any change that we need to put in, has to be calibrated, properly sequenced and implemented in a systematic manner. There definitely exist constraints of resources which are counterbalanced by the growing aspirations and rising expectations of the people at large. I am fully cognizant of this. Let me therefore recommit myself to this important nation building task and make the Railways rise to meet with the expectations of a large number of people. This is the most urgent item on my agenda and I will spare no efforts in putting all our combined might for the Railways to become a veritable engine of growth. For accomplishing this mammoth task, I count on the cooperation of all my 13 lakh colleagues of Indian Railways”.
