Mamata's mantra for the Railways

Potable water and clean toilets inside trains and clean stations will be given priority.

The Railways will also measures to improve tourism. All pending railway projects in Jammu and Kashmir will be given special care.

Mamata has already asked officials to maintain cleanliness and punctuality.

She also plans to improve the quality of food served in trains. She also plans to offer regional cuisine on Rajdhani trains.

The Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation has already introduced a common recipe book to be used by all private caterers. The recipe book will be issued to the approximately 100 base kitchens across the country to ensure that there is a standardisation of food across trains in the country.

Indian Railways is also planning to set up a Rs 100-crore (Rs 1-billion) high-axle load wagon trolley factory in collaboration with the United States in West Bengal.
