Current Affairs - Defence - Discussion

The Ministry of Railways organized a one day workshop called Mission Raftar. It aimed at brainstorming ideas about speed of freight trains and passenger trains. It also aimed at deriving solutions to various problems related to punctuality , rolling stock, traffic, elimination of unmanned railway crossings. The demand for coal has risen as a result of less imports so there has been an increase in coal loading for power plants and Coal India Limited has been giving enough supply for the purpose. The workshop aims to address the future needs of the Indian railways. Prioritizing passenger safety has been important as well.
