“Railways’ innovative step to provide COVID-19 care in coaches has been initiated,” he informed adding that 59 suspected patients were admitted at Mau Junction in Varanasi Division and eight of them have already been discharged.
He reiterated that there are huge opportunities for businesses in Railways as the ministry is willing to lease out traffic routes and parcel trains to them. He said the Railways is going to start 150 private trains to move passengers and invited the private sector to participate in that.
“Private sector can support in a million ways. I am going to lease out new routes, in the sense that I am going to say that okay, you (private players) identify the route (where) you want to set up a train service.
“If you want, we are willing to co-invest with you in new lines. We are willing to lease out traffic routes, we are willing to lease out parcel trains. So, there are a lot of opportunities opening up for the private sector,” said Goyal.
