In other good news #3 : Expert Panel headed by E. Sreedharan to advise Railways
2 May, 2014
The Railway Ministry is planning on rapid modernisation and expansion and is trying to rope in none other than the Metro man — Mr. E. Sreedharan to head the expert committee regarding the same.
Railway Minister D.V. Sadananda Gowda Sunday said an expert committee will soon be set up with former Delhi Metro chief E. Sreedharan on it to advise the Indian Railways on rapid expansion and modernisation.
“The committee will be constituted with experts like Sreedharan after consulting the prime minister, who has a great vision for the railways that daily carries 1.3 million people,” Gowda told reporters.
“As I am new to the ministry and know very little about its functioning, it is imperative I have an expert committee to advise me on how to improve its working and make it achieve the 4-S mantra — safety, security, service and speed — I had thought of,” Gowda asserted after a meeting with officials and state lawmakers.
