Rail ecosystem can create 10 lakh jobs in a year
New Delhi: The government will "very soon" float a global tender to procure tracks for modernising the railways, which can create a million jobs within a year through various areas across its ecosystem, Union Minister Piyush Goyal said today. He further said that safety will be priority for the railways and there would be no limit to funding it.
The comments of the new railways minister come after a spate of rail accidents in the last few month leading to loss of lives."I have diverted all available tracks to track renewal so that we can make the existing tracks safer. We are looking to go in for global procurement of rail tracks...this will help fast track the doubling of lines and new projects," he told reporters at the India Economic Summit of the World Economic Forum (WEF).
