INDIA’S RAILWAY MAN

Sreedharan’s expertise and
foresight—on behalf of those not as richly blessed as he was—ensured that
political will was converted into a multipurpose railway project. The
[Chithoni railway link] bridge was completed eleven weeks ahead of schedule
and proved to be helpful to one and all.Two key railway projects changed the
way India travels by train—the 760-km stretch of Konkan Railway and the Delhi
Metro. Both the projects were up and running in seven years flat and the man
in charge was Dr Elattuvalapil Sreedharan, popularly known as the Railway
Man. He has been hailed as the messiah of new-age infrastructure projects and
his success stories have become railway engineering benchmark.Respected,
loved and equally hated, this book covers the amazing story of one man—his
perseverance, beliefs and public and private battles. India’s Railway Man: A
Biography of E. Sreedharan is a tribute to this extraordinary man.
