Within hours of taking over as Railway Board chairman, Ashwani Lohani today described employees as the organisation's strength and called for speedy redressal of grievances.
Lohani was appointed yesterday after his predecessor A K Mital resigned in the wake of a string of train accidents.
"Our employees are our strength, we need to work along with them to make the railways more efficient. We need to improve our work culture and encourage interaction with the employees up to grassroots level," he told employees in his first interaction with them.
He also made it clear that corruption in the railways at any level would be "strictly dealt with".
He said cleanliness on stations and passenger amenities would remain the ministry's focus and added that productivity should be enhanced.
