Answer 1

1. Its present railway network is overburdened and inadequate to meet the new challenges of a fast developing economy.

2. Some regions are beyond the reach of railways due to unfavourable geographical conditions. These areas need to be opened to railways for removing regional inequalities in economic growth.

3. Railways are facing stiff competition from road transport and thus its share in passenger and goods traffic is declining.

4. Railways are overburdened with surplus staff on its regular pay roles. This burden hinders the further development of railways.

5. The railways have to develop uneconomic projects due to political pressures and interferences.

2)It can be efficient in transporting goods and people over longer distance but when coming to short distances it is very difficult and costly.
