Somedays back, i read a news item where Mr. Laloo Prasad, our Railway Minister flagged off a test train between Patna & Delhi. The special thing about this is that the train runs at a speed of 150km/hr. This is in principle whatever i have written in my previous blog (under the topic "Travel").

As a part of the improvement in the infrastructure, Indian Government in co-operation with the respective state governments has to work to improve the travel infrastructure. Railways form an important network in the indian travel. New initiatives such as this will reduce the time taken to travel which will have a positive impact of the economy (for detailed info, please refer to my previous blog under the heading "Travel"). I'm happy to note that we have taken the first step, the much needed step in moving towards the next phase in our growth. Though this is a small step, it is a much needed one which i hope will make other railway divisions to plan for this..
