Rail Minister seeks Pb govt’s assurance of train, crew members’ safety to restore freight services

Railway Minister Piyush Goyal on Monday sought the Punjab government’s assurance of the safety of trains and their crew members to restore freight services in the state. Goods train services resumed in the state after farmer unions on October 23 announced exempting them from their weeks-old “rail roko” agitation over the Centre’s new farm laws. However, the Railways decided to extend its suspension of goods train operations in the state, saying protesting farmers are still blocking the tracks.
