If, the dedicated freight corridor is handed over for FDI, the Railway will left mainly with

passenger services wherein social obligation is on steady increase. This will lead to the Railway

a sick industry.

Dependence on foreign capital was the prime cause for South East Asian economic crisis in the year

1997, when workers of the effected countries were the victims alongwith their family members. Unemployment engulfed, children had to be

The economy of the country although decided to be open in the year 1991 by the Govt. but could not do so due to strong Trade

Union Movement in the country. This was precisely the reason that Indian could save herself from world economic melt down of 2008 when most of the Western developed countries including USA had

to face serious economic cries.

So, induction of FDI in dedicated freight corridors should be resisted to save Railway from the destruction and

also to save the country from being exploited by the foreign investors.
