'Mumbai Rail Corp. will soon become a reality' 
The Times of India News Service

MUMBAI: The proposed Mumbai Rail Vikas Corporation (MRVC) will become a
reality very shortly, perhaps within a fortnight, according to petroleum
minister Ram Naik.

He stated that the names of the chairperson and members of the MRVC had
been finalised and sent for the approval of the rail minister, Union home
minister and the Prime Minister. Once they signed the formal documents, the
MRVC would begin functioning, Mr Naik said.

As an opposition MP and minister of state for railways, Mr Naik was among
those who made efforts for the establishment of the MRVC, which will be a
joint venture between the Union and the state governments.

Enjoying some autonomy, MRVC will be able to expedite rail development
projects that are vital for improving Mumbai's transport network.
