New Delhi, July 2 (Inditop.com) There should be a single regulatory body for the transport sector including highways, railways, ports and airports to ensure better cohesion, the Economic Survey for 2008-09 tabled Thursday has suggested.
According to the survey, there should be at least one member from each of these sub-sectors and the authority could have specialized groups of professionals in each sector.
The members can be appointed by the ministry concerned, with the Planning Commission acting as the nodal body for the selection of authority’s chairman, the survey said.
It also suggested that the chairman be assisted by a neutral economic unit, the staff of which will again be selected by the Planning commission.
