💨 Abstract

A parliamentary committee has criticized the Railway Ministry for a financial loss of Rs 9 crore in electrification work contracts in the South East Central Railway Zone in 2017-18 due to inefficient coordination between departments. The committee recommended fixing responsibility of officers, recovery of financial loss, and improving resource management practices. The Ministry responded with a promise to ensure a comprehensive compliance checklist for the tendering process.
