The Comptroller and Auditor General, CAG has suggested better co-ordination with state governments for the speedy execution of the Railways works. The CAG observed that safety related works are being accorded low priority by Railways.

The report tabled in Parliament yesterday said, though sufficient funds were available, large number of road overbridge and road underbridge works were pending as on March 2011 and the actual budget allocations reflected low priority due to inadequate commitment by the Railways.

The CAG report said that Construction of these are essential for eliminating unmanned level crossings which are the major reason for train accidents.
