SAFETY DEPARTMENTS IN RAILWAYS
LOK SABHA
Recently, it has
been decided to make the department broad based by inducting manpower
from five major operational departments, instead of confining
it to traffic department. It has also been empowered to have an
assertive role in administrative action against staff/officers,
causing accidents or safety related failures.
This information
was given by the Minister of State for Railways Shri Bandaru Dattatraya
in a written reply to a question from Shri Ravindra Kumar Pandey
in the Lok Sabha today.
