Rail babus to toil twice as hard
Given that the first-time mantri is handling two of the biggest ministries in the Modi sarkar, he will be the busiest man in the Cabinet. And he has decided to keep his babus on their toes too!
Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnav has introduced 18-hour workdays in two shifts in the ministry, a carry-over from his brief stint of two years in the corporate sector after quitting as an IAS officer of Odisha cadre. The first shift will be from 7 am to 4 pm and the second from 3 pm to midnight!
Among other things, the move is likely intended to please Prime Minister Narendra Modi who, we are constantly reminded, puts in 18 hours daily.
