  • The Public Relations wing of the Railway Ministry was left scurrying for cover when it realised that its five press releases on Parliament Questions asked in the Lok Sabha on Thursday included questions that had not been tabled. This could invite the Railways charges of breach of privilege. Regretting the error “sincerely”, the DPR (Railways) hurriedly issued a corrigendum saying that the releases may be treated as cancelled. Some other ministries also faced a similar situation but were saved the trouble of issuing corrigenda since they had not released the material related to Parliament Questions that day. Railways PR could learn a lesson or two from here: It doesn’t always pay to be more over-enthusiastic than required.
