(a) to (d) No, Sir. Railway tracks are replaced through track renewal works  which  is  an  ongoing  process.  Track  renewal  works  are undertaken as and when a stretch of track becomes due for renewal on the basis of criteria laid down in Indian Railway Permanent Way Manual on age/condition basis viz. traffic carried in terms of gross million tonnes,  incidence  of  rail  fracture/failure,  wear  of  rails, corrosion of rails, maintainability of track as per standards etc. On Meter  Gauge  (MG)  and  Narrow  Gauge  (NG)  tracks,  which  are sanctioned  for  Gauge  conversion,  the  track  renewal  works,  if required,  are  undertaken  after  due  consideration  of  progress  of execution of gauge conversion.

There has been no such report, which attributes a train accident to outdated  tracks  in  past  two  years.  Track  renewal  works  are sanctioned every year on the basis of traffic carried and condition and their execution is prioritized according to condition of track and overall availability of funds.

Details  of  track  renewal  carried  out  in  last  four  years  and  current year are as under:

| Year    | Progress Complete Track Renewal   |
|---------|-----------------------------------|
