Managers from all six Divisions of SCR
through...

Secunderabad today i.e. on 20.11.2014.
During this meeting, Shri Srivastava
critically reviewed the status of ongoing
developmental works on SCR, especially the
progress of works related to traffic facilities,
track renewals, developing new passenger
terminals, Road Over Bridges / Road Under
Bridges, elimination of unmanned level
crossings, electrical, signal & telecom works,
improving passenger amenities and staff
amenities etc.
At present, there are around 637 major
developmental works worth Rs. 5,490 Cr are
under progress under various Plan categories
mentioned above. The GM monitored the
physical and financial progress of these works
and the utilization of allotted funds so far in
the current financial year 2014-15. In view of
the resource constraints, he emphasized on
prioritizing the sanctioned works and
speeding up the critically important and last-
mile projects to bring about tangible results.
In addition, the General Manager also
reviewed the proposals submitted by the
Divisions and various Departments for major
works to be sanctioned for the next fiscal
i.e. FY 2015-16. Keeping in view the huge
backlog of the previously sanctioned works,
he underscored the need to finalize only those
proposals which provide quick results in
enhancing the traffic handling capacities and
in improving amenities needed by
passengers. Creating necessary infrastructural
facilities to strengthen safety; and to increase
the line capacity and the terminal capacities
to enable running of more number of
passenger / freight trains shall be given top
priority, stressed the GM.
In this connection, some of the works highlighted
by Shri Srivastava for submitting to Railway
Board for new sanctions include- development of
new passenger terminals for twin cities at Moula-
Ali and Nagulapalli to ease out the present
congestion at Secunderabad Junction; provision of
CCTV surveillance cameras with central
monitoring system at all MMTS stations in
Hyderabad for strengthening security and
monitoring cleanliness activities; and elimination
of unmanned level crossings through manning /
subways / diversion roads for enhanced safety
etc.
