GOVERNMENT OF INDIA<br />

MINISTRY OF RAILWAYS<br />

HIGH LEVEL SAFETY REVIEW COMMITTEE<br />

Shri Dinesh Trivedi<br />

Hon’ble Minister of Railways,<br />

Government of India<br />

Dear Sir,<br />

Submission of Report<br />

We are happy to submit the report of High Level Safety Review Committee appointed<br />

by Railway Ministry to review safety of our railway system and recommend measures to<br />

make improvements. Indian Railways is one of the largest railway system which has served<br />

people of India well over a period of time. The demands on the system are rapidly growing<br />

without commensurate investments for upgradation of technology and modernization<br />

consistent with modern times.<br />

2. Within the limited time available, we have examined various aspects relevant to safety<br />

on the Indian Railway system. While detailed recommendations are given in the report, an<br />

important recommendation is on creation of a Railway Safety Authority as a statutory safety<br />

regulator duly backed up by professional inputs from within and outside at multiple levels.<br />

3. We estimate that implementation of the recommendations made by the Committee<br />

would need an outlay of around Rs. 100,000 crores in the next 5 years. We strongly suggest<br />

that the recommendations should get implemented in a time-bound manner with required<br />

resources mobilized and dedicated towards implementation of individual recommendations.<br />

We thank you for the opportunity given to us in undertaking this important<br />

assignment.
