PASSENGER SERVICE COMMITTEE VISITS SCR
The Passenger Service Committee (PSC), constituted by Mamata Banerjee, Hon’ble Minister for Railways, headed by Shri Derek O’Brien, Chairman visited South Central Railway today, i.e. 20th September, 2010 and held a meeting with Shri M.S.Jayanth, General Manager and other senior officials. The Meeting deliberated on various issues concerning passenger services on Railways and measures to optimize the same so as to ensure comfortable and convenient travel to rail users. Shri Sardar Amjad Ali, Shri Sultan Singh, Shri Manish Mitra and Shri Mohammed Nadimul Haque, Members of the Committee were also present.
Later, interacting with the media, Shri Derek O’Brien detailed the focus of the PSC which was set up for recommending steps concerning consumer insights on passenger services to Railway Board for implementation. Amongst the issues of prime concern are those related to food, cleanliness and passenger grievances, the Chairman informed.
Shri Derek O’Brien stated that the Committee had recommended the taking over of catering services by Indian Railways from IRCTC, which has since been implemented by the Railway Board. A paradigm shift in the catering policy is on the anvil and will take some time for total implementation. As a part of the same, ‘Jan Aahar’ low-priced food stalls are being set up at Railway Stations which are earning a positive nod from the rail users, going to prove the commitment of Indian Railways towards its social responsibility. SCR will see at least about 40 such stalls being set up in the near future, he added. Elaborating on the subject, the Chairman stated that each Zonal Railway is taking up one train for implementation of the model policy on catering and on SCR, the Hyderabad-New Delhi Andhra Pradesh Express is the train identified for the purpose. The stress in terms of the food policy is on QSCV, which denotes Quality, Service, Cleanliness and Value.
Shri Derek O’Brien informed that over 50% of train reservations are being handled on the internet and in tune with the same, the Committee’s recommendation has been implemented by the Railways basing on which, the reservations each day are open from 8.00 am to 9.00 am only for individual consumers and the bulk consumers can access internet reservation only after 9.00 am, thereby protecting the interests of individual rail users. Commenting on the use of internet, the Chairman stated that the Indian Railway website is being planned to be made as a single stop for every requirement including complaints, etc. Likewise, a single number based ‘public grievance’ machinery will be set up across the country.
The concept of ‘Seva Vahans’, the carts for use of disabled persons which is already implemented in Secunderbad and few other stations, is planned to be extended all over. A distinct shift is planned with regard to porters carrying passenger baggage at Railway Stations. A new category of people termed as ‘Yatri Sevaks’ will be carrying passenger baggage at Railway Stations with the help of trolleys, thereby setting the tone for doing away with manual labour. House keeping services on-board the trains which are presently available for 270 trains will be extended to cover 350 trains, the Chairman added.
Shri Derek O’Brien had a word of praise for South Central Railway and said that the zone definitely ranks high in terms of passenger service parameters, including cleanliness.

In order to clear extra rush of rail passengers, Indian Railways has decided to extend the run of 0581/0582 Barauni Anand Vihar Terminal Special Express train with immediate effect on temporary basis upto 25.11.10 when departing from Barauni and upto 26.11.10 when departing from Anand Vihar Terminal with the existing timings, days and stoppages.
4205/4206 Faizabad- Delhi Jn.- Faizabad Express train to Run Daily
Sh. K.H. Muniyappa, Hon'ble Minister of State for Railways, flagged off train no. 4205 Faizabad-Delhi Jn. Express as daily train yesterday from Faizabad station in the august presence of Dr. Nirmal Khatri, Hon'ble Member of Parliament (Lok Sabha), Shri Rakesh Pandey, Hon'ble Member of Parliament (Lok Sabha) Sh. Vinay Katiyar, Hon'ble Member of Parliament (Rajya Sabha) and Shri Lallu Singh, Hon'ble Member of Legislative Assembly, U.P., Vidhan Sabha .
Prior to the flagging off of this train, it used to run between Faizabad and Delhi; four days a week, but in view of increased demand for its services, the same has been made a daily train, thereby providing greater convenience to the rail passengers between Faizabad-Delhi and its intermediate stations viz. Lucknow Jn., Shahajahanpur, Bareilly, Rampur, Moradabad Jn., Hapur and Ghaziabad stations. Increase in frequency of 4205/4206 Express train will strengthen the connectivity for all segments of people e.g. the businessman, the tourist, the student etc. because it runs over night between the two cities. The traveler after finishing the job/work/business during the day, can therefore, be back to his/her destination by end of the day.
