WALTAIR DIVISION TAKES SEVERAL MEASURES DURING THE SUMMER*


In view of the rising temperatures, past experience, and the anticipated increase in passenger footfall during the summer season, the Waltair Division of East Coast Railway has undertaken a series of proactive and passenger-friendly measures to ensure comfort, safety, and smooth operations across all major stations under its jurisdiction.

Divisional Railway Manager Shri Lalit Bohra gave directives to all the concerned branch officers, supervisors, and frontline staff, to implement all necessary measures to ensure a safe and comfortable journey for passengers during the summer months.


Ensuring the availability of adequate packaged drinking water and potable water at all major stations. Special arrangements have been made, and water booths will be regularly inspected by officials to ensure proper functionality and uninterrupted supply.


Provision of free drinking water facilities, particularly for passengers travelling in general coaches, at platform ends at major stations. The Division is also collaborating with NGOs for voluntary distribution of water.

Ensuring continuous availability of running water in station toilets and waiting halls, along with timely announcements of train arrivals and departures. Proper queue management systems and designated holding areas have been arranged to streamline boarding and alighting during peak hours.

 


Special focus is being given to crowd movement on Foot Over Bridges and in concourse areas to ensure smooth and safe transit for passengers.
