In the Union Cabinet expansion, Raosaheb Danve has been given the responsibility of Minister of State for Railways. After taking charge of the railway department, Raosaheb Danve has made a big announcement about local train travel for general public in Mumbai.

The government provided Rs 2 per kg of wheat and Rs 3 per kg of rice to 80 crore people in this country. Now the responsibility of the railway department has been given. The briefing will give an idea of the current situation and what needs to be done for the railway department. "My priority will be on what can be done for the needs of Maharashtra and Marathwada," Danve said.
Today I have taken charge of the account. I can tell what will be the next direction after discussing with the authorities. Railways are a means of transportation for the common man.Therefore, priority will be given to providing facilities to the common man. The state government has accepted responsibility for local travel. Whenever the Maharashtra government feels that the Corona situation is under control, the state should send a proposal to the Center to start the local train services. Union Minister of State for Railways Raosaheb Danve also said that there is no problem in starting local service after studying the Corona situation. He was speaking in an interview with Zee 24 Hours.
Recently, the state's Minister for Relief and Rehabilitation Vijay Vadettiwar and Mayor Kishori Pednekar had commented on the local train services for general public. Vijay Vadettiwar had said that Corona had not left the state. Corona is still in critical condition in some districts. So don't invite death on your own. Everyone must obey the rules of the corona. Mumbai is the state capital. It's a crowded place. Therefore, he had said that the local train would not start in Mumbai till the end of Corona.
