    "content": "economically viable because the areas they served, the economics have since changed. On those lines, the natural thing to do is to use those materials to rehabilitate other areas and when the areas prove that they deserve a railway lines, perhaps, because of other modes, that decision can be taken. On those lines that are to be preserved, there is now more enhanced security to protect the lines from vandalism and also coupled with the wider measures of the Government in terms of banning the export of scrap metal and more surveillance on scrap metal dealers to ensure that they are not dealing in public property or public materials, be they railway lines, telephone cables or electricity cables. There is vandalism because there is a market for these products. Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is in this context that I appeal to the members of the public to appeal to the people within their areas to help in protecting and identify the vandals who mess up with all these public assets, because at the end of it all, they are our assets. If we protect them and provide the oversight, then we will be protecting the assets for posterity, rather than allowing a few people to profiteer by selling them as scrap and then we pay more to rebuild new ones."
