members of railway users’ consultative committee

Thursday, March 24, 2005

As per provisions of Railway Users’ Consultative Committee, representation is given to one nominee of each Member of Parliament/Lok Sabha on each of the Divisional Railway Users’ Consultative Committee (DRUCC) serving his/her constituency. Similarly, Members of Parliament/Rajya Sabha can nominate one nominee on each of the DRUCC serving the District selected by him/her under Member of Parliament Local Area Development Scheme (MPLADS)

Accordingly, Members of Parliament have been requested to advise the name (s) of the nominee (in prescribed proforma) for nomination on the respective DRUCC (s).

The names of representatives of MPs for nomination on DRUCCs received in prescribed proforma have since been communicated to Zonal Railways concerned for nomination.

Members of Parliament of Lok Sabha can nominate one nominee each on DRUCCs, if his/her constituency is served by more than one Division. Nomination of more than one nominee is not proposed for the present, as it would result in nominating a large number of persons on these Committees.

The above information was given by the Minister of State in the Ministry of Railways Shri R. Velu in a written reply to a question in the Lok Sabha today.
