No corporatisation of Indian Railways: Mamata

Railways Minister Mamata Banerjee on Thursday ruled out corporatisation of the country's railroad network
but said the private sector's participation can be considered for commercial use of railway land in areas like healthcare and education institutions.

The minister said a blue print was being drawn to totally revamp the Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corp, but added there was no need to outsource the food and beverage operations offered inside trains and stations.
