That they should send a fortnightly assessment of that is happening in India written dispassionately, not to please a minister or to highlight something that he has done, but to give an objective assessment of what is going on in the country. In the old days, when the British government was in existence, such fortnightly reports used to be sent by various state governments and I think a beginning can be made in that direction in this matter. The minister of railways has given some impressive figures regarding route mileage, the number of passenger trains that run every day, the number of goods trains that run every day, the number of millions of passengers who travel by train. He has tried to compare them. In view of the vastness of the country, the large number of passenger trains being run, the large number of good trains being run and the big route mileage, he has tried to show that the number of accidents that have occurred is not quite alarming. I do not know what his idea was when he tried to comapre the number of accidents against this background. Committees have been appointed when serious accidents took place to find out why such an such accident take place. The Shah Nawaz committee, which was appointed in 2006 gave a very voluminous report. Therein, they had stated the causes of accidents that occurred during the period before, and they had also suggested some preventive measures. The government have again appointed another committee headed by Dr. Kunzru. It is more than eight months or so. It is more than eight months or so. It is more than eight months or so. It is more than eight months or so. Do not know why an interim report has not been submitted subject like this, if that committee had submitted an interim report. We could have offered more constructive suggestions. Unfortunately, the committees that are appointed take their own time to submit their reports. Maybe, the government is partly responsible, for they may not be co-operating with the committee in giving all the material.
