Austerity drive already on in railways: Mamata Banerjee
September 12th, 2009 - 9:00 pm ICT by IANS ( 1 comment )
Kolkata, Sep 12 (IANS) Railway Minister Mamata Banerjee Saturday said that her ministry has already begun an austerity drive and taken several cost-cutting measures to reduce additional expenditure.
“I’d issued an order to cut all additional expenditure and it’s already been implemented in the railways,” Banerjee said while flagging off two new trains — Sealdah-Ajmirsharif Express and Farakka-Nabadwip Express — from Sealdah station here.
She said the railways has already stopped providing accommodation facilities to its officials at five-star hotels.
“We’ve also cut short other expenditures in an effort to execute the austerity initiative,” Banerjee added.
Taking about other plans of her ministry, she said a circular has been issued to all railway divisions for setting up new stations across the country following the local architecture, art and culture of that particular region.
Banerjee also announced that from now on, all railway board examinations across India would be held on a single day to avert any clash or untoward incident in any part of the country.
“We’ve already recognised all regional languages and declared that students can write in any regional language while appearing in the railway board exams,” she said.
The minister also announced the railways will run 120 puja special trains during the coming festive season.
“The railways will also flag off Duranto Express, which was declared in the annual railway budget, on Mahalaya (Sep 18),” she said, adding at least 20 extra counters will be opened in Kolkata’s metro railway stations during the Durga Puja period.

Dear all of my well wiser,
Dear friend’s, actually I’m 100 percent victim, so I went to knowing my matter all the Indian and others. I write my matter to all M.P., M.L.A., Minister in W.B., CBI, CID, Human rights department, AAP KI KACHEHRI – KIRAN KE SAATH, Kolkata Police, my nation, all of the news channels, and all press, and many more, absolutely you also, I’m 100 percent victim but no body come to me. My question is why they not come to my house? I screw up to claim that I am as white as snow. Sir, If you don’t brook intervention then our family &especially my small daughter’s life will be ruined.
I determined that if any reporter / any person come to my house then they know that I am 100 percent victim. And I win the case. I’m Punishment + harassment Without Crime.
With kindest regards,
