The cabinet approved merging the railway budget with the general budget, advancing the date by a month based on a proposal from the Finance Minister. This represents the biggest reform as it ends the separate rail budget and amalgamates the railway budget with the general budget. The merger of budgets will allow railways more political freedom to implement substantial reforms needed to turn the system around without as much scrutiny.
