Cadaverising Indian Railways

Vol. 37, Issue No. 37, 14 Sep, 2002

The decision to create several new railway zones has been taken disregarding consistent expert advice against such reorganisation pointing out the negative implications. In addition to the excessive additional outlays that this will entail, the creation of additional zones may well add to existing inefficiencies.

Railways: Gross Negligence

Vol. 36, Issue No. 28, 14 Jul, 2001

Gross Negligence It has taken four successive disasters and a huge loss of lives, at Khanna, Gaisal, Fatehgarh and now Kadalundi, for the central government to offer a lifeline to the beleaguered Indian railways  a Rs 17,000 crore safety fund, to wipe out the huge arrears in assets long overdue for replacement....

Accident at Kadalundi

Vol. 36, Issue No. 26, 30 Jun, 2001
