The primary focus has been laid on enhancing supervision of freight trains and conducting frequent field inspections to ensure compliance of worksite safety requirements without fail.

He instructed the officials to plan the works with no disturbance in movement of trains. He also advised the staff to frequently conduct inspections and ensure regular monitoring of track parameters so that timely action can be taken if required.
He further reviewed the progress of various on-going developmental projects including doubling, triple lines, electrification and station redevelopment works across the zone.
