Patna (Bihar Times): Railway minister, Lalu Yadav,
refuted the state government’s allegation that the
railways are not providing rakes for carrying bitumen
required for road construction in Bihar.
Talking to the media-persons in Patna on Friday he
said the railways have always provided rakes for
carrying bitumen required for road construction. He
said these charges are baseless as railways have
provided rakes whenever requisitions are made by the
state government for transport of bitumen.

Lalu said that if there was some delay in filling up
bitumen in rakes at any Indian Oil Corporation depot,
the Railways can not be held responsible. The Nitish
government was 'in the habit of making baseless
allegation against the railway ministry.
He said that the railways are only responsible for
giving rakes for transportation. He also told newsmen
that he had spoken to IOC officials and state Road
Construction minister N K Yadav in this connection.
It needs to be mentioned that the beleaguered Bihar’s
road construction minister had recently alleged that
the Railways were not providing adequate rakes for
moving bitumen to Bihar from other parts of the
country.
