Demonetisation Will Not Impact Railways, Says Suresh Prabhu
Railway Minister Suresh Prabhu
Asked about the impact of demonetisation on the Railways, considered the lifeline of the country, Railway Minister Suresh Prabhu said there would be no impact, not even in the short term.
Prabhu said there was a decline in freight volumes but that had nothing to do with demonetisation.
Praising the digitisation efforts of the government in various sectors, Prabhu said that 58 per cent of rail travellers use information technology to book tickets.
