The Consultative Committee of members of Parliament for Railway Zones is actually constituted by the Ministry of Parliamentary Affairs, not the Ministry of Railways.
The Ministry of Parliamentary Affairs is responsible for facilitating the smooth functioning of Parliament and promoting effective communication between the government and Members of Parliament. It establishes various consultative committees, including the Consultative Committee for Railway Zones, to provide a platform for MPs to discuss and provide inputs on specific sectors or issues.
The Consultative Committee for Railway Zones consists of Members of Parliament from different constituencies that fall under specific railway zones. The committee allows MPs to have a deeper understanding of the functioning, development, and challenges of the railway zones in their respective areas. It provides an opportunity for MPs to engage in discussions, raise concerns, and offer suggestions related to the development, infrastructure, services, and policies of the railways in their regions.
The Ministry of Parliamentary Affairs plays a crucial role in coordinating and facilitating the meetings of the Consultative Committee and ensuring effective communication between the committee members and the Ministry of Railways. The committee serves as a platform for collaboration and exchange of ideas between MPs and the ministry to enhance the efficiency and responsiveness of railway services in specific zones.
