As per this new policy, any government position left unfilled for two consecutive years will be dissolved.Neeraj Kumar also spoke on the issue of a series of train accidents across India that has raised concerns, with some incidents being viewed as targeted attacks by specific communities, a phenomenon being dubbed 'Train Jihad.'Neeraj Kumar remarked that the security of Indian Railway is of paramount importance, as it affects the general populace most.
