Fog safety devices system likely in trains
Ambala, November 26 PK Sanghi, Divisional Railway Manager, said the department was mulling over developing green patches in circulating area and providing couch guidance system and electronic train indicator boards. The speed of all trains has been fixed at 60 km per hour due to foggy weather. Special teams on seven sections of the division have been constituted for keeping a check on drivers and other staff members present on duty in trains. He said if any driver was found under the influence of liquor, he could be chargesheeted and suspended. The teams will also investigate if the unscheduled halt was a result of alarm chain pulling or if rail staff, including the train driver and guard, stopped the train, he added. The prevailing foggy weather conditions have badly hit the movement of trains. As a result, the trains plying from northern parts to the rest of the country are running behind schedule. GM Singh, Senior Divisional Commercial Manager, said regular announcements were also made and passengers were subsequently informed about the trains’ arrival time. Trains, including Delhi-Kalka passenger and Delhi-Saharanpur, had to be cancelled due to fog, he added. “In an effort to provide better services to passengers, Jan Sadharan Booking Sewak, ATMs and touch screens and coach guidance systems have been made operational and to beef up security, CCTV cameras have also been installed at the Ambala Cantt railway station,” he stated.
