Ø The 92-year-old practice of presenting a separate Railway Budget
is set to come to an end from the next fiscal, with the Finance Ministry
accepting Railway Minister Suresh Prabhu’s proposal to merge it with the General
Budget. According to railways, the Finance Ministry has now constituted a
five-member committee comprising senior officials of the Ministry and the
national transporter to work out the modalities for the merger. The committee
has been asked to submit its report by August 31.
