New Delhi: Dubbing the year gone-by amid the pandemic as the most challenging year for the public transporter, Railway Minister Piyush Goyal said, “Covid 19 has demonstrated the resolve of the Railways to fight back and emerge stronger and in future.”
At a review meeting with Railway Board members and General Managers of zonal railways, Goyal said in the future, the success of Indian Railways would define the success of the nation.
During the lockdown, all services of the Railways had come to a grinding halt and even now, only special trains are plying.
“The mindset of the railways has transformed. The use of new technologies and innovation has created new standards and benchmarks,” he said.
Goyal added: “It is the time to rewrite the destiny and future of the railways which is self-sustaining, punctual, passenger-friendly, safe, green and the first choice of businesses.”
