coaching tariff. Therefore, we have decided to rationalise and simplify the tariff fixation mechanism for military traffic on no-profit no-loss basis. Instead of fixing it on the basis of cost incurred in earlier years, this tariff will be based now on the principle of no profit no loss on current prices. Similarly, parcel and luggage tariffs have also been rationalized. Conclusion 129. Sir, the excellent performance of railways has been possible only due to the able guidance provided by Hon’ble Prime Minister. He has always encouraged us and provided constructive assistance. On behalf of the entire railway family, I express my gratitude to him. I also thank all the railwaymen who, working as an excellent team, have completed the given tasks with dedication and devotion. I also profusely thank passengers and other railway users who have continuously cooperated with us and I hope that they would continue to do so in future also. 130. Sir, I consider myself fortunate for having the opportunity to serve the nation through the railway service. I would like to assure the House that we will be continuously striving to meet the expectations of public by constantly improving railway services. During discussions on the Railways, Hon’ble Members have always boosted our morale. While wishing that they continue to harbour these sentiments, I would like to say ‘Yeh inaayat nahin, mera vishwas hai, daurey mehengai mein rail sasti rahe, apnaa inaam humko to mill jayega, rail par aapki sarparasti rahe.” 131. With these words, Sir, I commend the Railway Budget 2006-07. 30
