General Manager Anil Kumar Khandelwal Reviews Chhath Puja Preparedness at Patna Junction

Hajipur, November 20, 2023: In the wake of Chhath Puja, the East Central Railways has undertaken extensive managerial measures for the convenience and safety of passengers. General Manager Anil Kumar Khandelwal is personally overseeing real-time monitoring of these arrangements. Today, the General Manager arrived at Patna Junction in the evening to assess crowd management, cleanliness, passenger safety, and other amenities.

During this visit, General Manager Khandelwal engaged in discussions with passengers at Patna Junction to collect feedback on the provided facilities. Anil Kumar Khandelwal directed officials to remain vigilant continuously for passenger convenience.

Following Chhath Puja, a dedicated “War Room” has been established in Patna for the constant monitoring of overall arrangements, including passenger facilities and security in stations and trains. Additionally, a free distribution system for food packets and water has been set up at major stations for passengers traveling in general category coaches.

General Manager Khandelwal appealed to passengers to refrain from carrying inflammable substances during their journey, emphasizing the potential dangers. In order to keep a close watch on such activities, a special team of Railway Protection Force has been formed, diligently monitoring and taking action against individuals engaging in hazardous practices such as smoking or carrying combustible items within the trains.

The proactive measures taken by the railways under the guidance of General Manager Khandelwal underscore their commitment to passenger safety and well-being during the post-Chhath Puja period.
