As the Railways stares at Rs.32,000-crore additional costs for implementing the Seventh Pay Commission recommendations, Railway Minister Suresh Prabhu has reached out to the Finance Ministry seeking additional help. ¨Rs.32,000 crore is an unbearable burden on the Railway finances. We are talking to the Finance Ministry on how we can deal with this,¨ Prabhu said. The Railways, with over 13 lakh staff and an equal number of pensioners, is the only government organisation that meets its staff and pension outgoes from its revenues.
