General Manager / N.F. Railway Sanjive Roy today released a multicolour booklet on the initiatives taken by the NFR to further improve the safety standards. Additional GeneralManager / NFR Radhey Raman along with other senior officials were also present on the occasion.
It may be mentioned here that NFR maintains the supply line for all the eight northeastern states besides some very important parts of Bihar and West Bengal. The railway network of NFR passes through the “Chicken neck” portion in the plains of Dooars which act as the umbilical cord of the seven states of the northeast. So, uninterrupted movement of trains is of great importance.
Disruption of rail connectivity to this region can lead to a shortage of essentials and strategic impediments. Accordingly, safety remains the topmost priority, so that this railway remains hale and hearty. The book release today shows the activities done by NFR to convert the unprecedented lock-down period into an opportunity to speed up maintenance works of all departments ever since the regular passenger trains stopped plying.
All the works were done with detailed planning and continuous monitoring by maintaining all COVID related protocols. The compilation of the data related to enhancing the safety standard in this railway and designing and printing of the book was done by the Public Relations department of NFR during the lockdown period. This shows that the adversities due to pandemic situation have not been able to affect the morale of officials and they continued to work as a team.
