New Delhi, June 23(PTI) Ruling out privatisation, Railway Minister Mamata Banerjee today said her ministry will follow public-private partnership (PPP) mode for infrastructure development of the largest PSU. Banerjee, while addressing the Railway Consultative Committee meeting here, told the members that the PPP mode will be followed in expanding infrastructure and assets and for creating more employment.
