Outgoing railway minister Piyush Goyal and Railway Board chief Vinod Kumar Yadav have blasted Central Railway (CR) for being a dampener on the railway ministry's efforts of bringing in transparency and enhancing the image of Indian Railways, by not sending regular updates to Rail Drishti web portal.

The railways had launched the portal earlier this year — which has received more than 3.11 crore hits — for transparency and passenger updates. On May 24, Goyal and Yadav wrote a hard-hitting letter to CR's General Manager D K Sharma, saying that the CR team has been ignoring reminders from both of them to send regular updates.
