In a written reply to a question in Rajya Sabha today, Vaishnaw highlighted the steps taken by Indian Railways to bolster safety across its vast network.
Jairam Ramesh's remarks came a day after the CRS report on the train accident claimed several lapses of the signalling and telecom department for the accident.
Earlier, Union Railways Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw said that Vande Bharat trains will start covering all the states by June.
He said that PM has allocated Rs 10,000 cores for development works in Odisha. "10 years ago, only Rs 800 crores were allocated for the development of a state that has the potential of becoming a $1 trillion economy," said Ashwini Vaishnaw.
