RAILWAY MINISTER Suresh Prabhu RAILWAY MINISTER Suresh PrabhuRAILWAY MINISTER Suresh Prabhu recently announced an alliance with Sulabh International for cleaning railway stations. Party’s chief general secretary Shivraj Singh is disenchanted with politics and, insiders say, may resign from the party soon. Bulky MachineRAILWAY MINISTER Suresh Prabhu’s idea was to equip ticket examiners on trains with handheld devices to check tickets and issue receipts. What bureaucrats in the railways interpreted as “handheld device” has turned out to be a bulky machine with portable printers attached. So, officials of its software arm, Centre for Railway Information Systems, have been told that handheld device should be like an inexpensive smartphone with a special app and not like those bulky machines.
