With crude oil touching $117 per barrel, the Government must take immediate austerity measures.
All new non-essential mega infrastructure projects should be put on hold until the global oil crisis eases.

🧵The Rly fastening paradox:
A whistleblower has raised serious concerns over the current procurement strategy.The belief that buying all fastening components from a single source guarantees track quality & safety is fundamentally flawed. Let's break down why.👇

1/4 The Tolerance Trap:
Simply routing orders through one supplier solves nothing unless that source actually manufactures every single item in-house. Dimensional tolerances will still vary across components, leading to unpredictable #track behavior that cannot be eliminated.

2/4 Misplaced Accountability:
#Railways rely on a single supplier to shoulder total lifecycle responsibility, hoping for a neat, one-stop guarantee. But administrative convenience cannot override basic material science & manufacturing realities.

3/4 The Lifecycle Reality:
Expecting uniform performance is impossible. Every fastening component responds differently to harsh atmospheric and operational conditions. They simply do not share the exact same lifecycle.

4/4 The Takeaway:
Forcing a one-size-fits-all single-source policy ignores technical limits. To ensure true rail safety, procurement must focus on individual component excellence and environmental resilience—not just a single point of blame.

#Rotation_policies in #ZonalRailways are gathering dust. Despite continuous hammering by #Railwhispers, zero action has been taken against officers clinging to lucrative posts. Benefits are distributed like dhaniya-mirchi. The system has turned completely deaf & dumb! 1/2

अगर लिटिगेशन और आर्बिट्रेशन से रेलवे को इतनी ही समस्या है, तो टेंडर्स से यह क्लॉज ही पूरी तरह हटा दिया जाए! किसे पैसा देना है और किससे लेना है, इसका फैसला अदालतों और आर्बिट्रेशन पैनल पर छोड़ देना चाहिए। #TenderReform
@IrconOfficial@surendrash59069@AmitJaitly5 नेटवर्थ के नियमों में स्पष्टता होनी चाहिए। फर्म को पैसा लेना है या देना है—यह देखना जरूरी है। यदि केवल भुगतान लेना है, तो उसकी नेटवर्थ कैसे घट जाएगी? इसे नेटवर्थ से जोड़कर प्रतिस्पर्धा घटाना उचित नहीं! फैसला तथ्यों और न्यायिक प्रक्रिया के आधार पर होना चाहिए—मनमानी शर्तों से नहीं!
