Railway Minister Dinesh Trivedi seeks a 10,000 crore bailout for the cash strapped railways. Trivedi wants this corpus fund along lines of National Rural Health Mission.

Indian Railways is now staring due to budget deficit, a hike in employees' salary in accordance with 6th pay commission recommendation and has already exhausted scopes of generating funds internally.
