In tune with the new catchline for the railways?service with a human face?railways minister Mamata Banerjee on Tuesday announced a committee to ensure 85% accuracy in running trains.
She said a ?punctuality machinery?? and a panel regarding that has already been set up. The general managers of all the railways throughout the country will submit a weekly report to the railway board.
Emphasising that running trains on time was a priority for her, Banerjee said she was ??hopeful of 85% success??. Meanwhile, she has also imposed restrictions on foreign tours by railway officials unless absolutely necessary. ??It is not possible to stop foreign tours when transfer of technology is required, but we will try to restrict tours for other purposes,?? Banerjee said at inauguration of the first site office for circular railway at Majerhat station.
