Prabhu Tweeted 2 Years Performance Report of His Reign With Railways And It Looks Impressive

Back in November 2014, when Prabhu took charge of Indian Railways, it was in shambles.

The platforms reeked of foul smell, trains weren't on time, comfort was a distant dream, basic facilities seemed like luxurious, and there was no one to complain.

Years went by, and the next thing that we know is that we all accepted how poor and feeble the system was. Then one fine day, Prabhu was sworn-in as Cabinet minister in Narendra Modi government and things changed.

He became the first railway minister who introduced railway budget without launching a single train and more focused on facilities during the fiscal year 2015-2016.

Now we have high-speed trains, WIFI on stations, and use of social media to improve passenger amenities.

Over the past few months, railways have done a lot to ensure that it is everything that it preaches. As part of Swachh Rail Mission, 300 kids to clean railway stations every Sunday, there are vending machines on railway stations, and everything else just got better.

"A major achievement Prabhu will be known for in the first two years is putting back on rails many of the crucial but incomplete tasks that were pending for a long time. Work has gained momentum on locomotive factories and the Dedicated Freight Corridor project," said Vishwas Udgirkar, senior director, Deloitte.

That said, it is no surprise that the entire nation is lauding Prabhu for the phenomenal work he has done. Here's a tweet by Mr Prabhu that explains what great things he did in the past two years.
