The Government will ‘very soon’ float a global tender to procure tracks for modernising the railways, which can create a million jobs within a year through various areas across its ecosystem, Union Minister Piyush Goyal said on Thursday. He further said that safety will be priority for the railways and there would be no limit to funding it. The comments of the new railways minister come after a spate of rail accidents in the last few month leading to loss of lives.
