💨 Abstract

Opposition members in Rajya Sabha criticized the government for privatizing various operations of the Railways, claiming it has compromised safety, resulting in accidents and passenger deaths. They alleged that 2 million jobs in the Railways have been cut through contractualization and outsourcing, leading to increased accidents and fatalities. The opposition argued that giving maintenance tasks to contractors is the root cause of the accidents, as employees do not feel accountable for the system.
