is one of the best among 17 zonal railways,” maintained Vishnoi.
The GM also highlighted some newly commissioned projects,
including Delang-Puri doubling.
For achieving safety and reliability in train operation,
state-of-the-art electronic interlocking has been introduced at Delang,
Birpurushottampur, Sakhigopal, Maltipatpur and Puri stations in the current
year, stated Vishnoi. Similarly to avoid accidents at level crossings in the
current FY, 14 level crossing gates have all together been closed.
“ECoR has not only excelled in train operations, but also
achieved significant achievements in other fields like sports. For the first
time, we successfully organised All-India Railway Standard Judging and Testing
camp for Scouts and Guides and Inter-Railway cultural competition on dance at
Bhubaneswar in the current year,” said Vishnoi.
“I take this opportunity in thanking all our stakeholders
including our Trade Unions, members of ECoR Women’s Welfare Organisation for
their unstinted support and valuable co-operation, which gave us strength and
inspiration in all our accomplishments,” maintained Vishnoi.
