RAJYA SABHA

Total number of recommendations made by Commissioner of Railway Safety (CRS) in their reports on the various rail accidents during the last three years is 683. Out of them, the number of recommendations accepted for implementation is 462, and 43 were not found feasible for acceptance. Rest of the items are presently under examination.

Recommendations received from the CRS are examined in the Ministry of Railways in regard to their feasibility and practicality, financial implications and their overall impact on Railway operations, and decision on their acceptance/non-acceptance is conveyed to the Commission of Railway Safety thereafter. The examination/implementation of various recommendations of the CRS is a continuous ongoing process.
