The Union Minister of Railways, Communications and Electronic & Information Technology, Ashwini Vaishnaw today unveiled the ‘The Indian Railways Construction Manual, 2023’ in New Delhi.
Addressing the gathering after launching the manual, the Union Minister for Railways, Communications and Electronic & Information Technology, Ashwini Vaishnaw said, “The construction manual will help in many activities including Land acquisition, forest clearance, bridge design, contract management, tunnel construction, road flyover/ under bridges. This manual would help us to achieve to become the world’s fastest-growing rail network.”
Shri Vaishnaw further said “It is a real pleasure that the construction manual is now in a new form and in tune with our time. Since Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi has taken charge, the Railway has been his focus including the construction of new tracks and stations in this mission, this manual will play a key role as the previous version of the manual was old (around 1960) and now new reforms have been incorporated including EPC contracts, bridge construction, execution of signalling, electrical and non-interlocking works etc. which have now been standardized through the new manual”.
