The committee was set up by Suresh Prabhu under the Minimum Government and Maximum Governance campaignA railway committee is looking at cutting down red tape to ensure the speedy disposal of files and promote efficiency in the public sector behemoth, according to its draft report. The present structure slows down decision-making, promotes inefficiency and increases transaction costs, the committee, headed by the director general, personnel, said in its report. Set up by Railway Minister Suresh Prabhu in March under the Minimum Government and Maximum Governance campaign, the committee is expected to submit its final report next month. It said decisions could move faster if the levels at which a file moved were cut down. It also suggested an "alignment to analogous organisations in other ministries", or linking to departments elsewhere with similar concerns.
