Railway reforms
A detailed and interesting front-page report on the proposal for Bangladesh Railway reforms, put forward by outside railway consultants, was published in a local daily on September5. It represents the bureaucratic stand for stone walling the proposal suggesting to hand over powers to the CEO of Bangladesh Railways. As reported, and I quote: "They (Secretary of the communications ministry and his officials) are against creation of a separate division as in the proposed organogram which will empower the BR chief to be responsible to the communications minister directly."
Now the BR Chief has to reach the minister via the communications secretary.
Will the red signal ever turn green?
