The railway board has initiated the steps to turn 7 production units in the country into corporations. Modern Coach Factory (MCF) in Rae Bareli is the first unit in the list. The workers and unions in the railways are against this move. They allege that privatising the railway units will be harmful not only to the workers but to the interest of the entire nation. KV Ramesh, Senior Joint General Secretary of Indian Railway Technical Supervisors’ Association speaks to NewsClick on this issue.
