DRUCC members seek more passenger amenities, extension of trains
Chaired by Sudeshna Sen, DRM and Chairman of DRUCC, the meeting, held at the Divisional Railway Manager (DRM)'s Conference Hall, Rail Vikas Bhavan, focused on a range of issues raised by the committee members. Key topics included the improvement of passenger amenities such as coach indication boards at various stations in the Guntur Division, introduction of new trains, demand for train stoppages, changes in train timings, and matters related to Road Over-Bridges (ROBs) and Road Under-Bridges (RUBs).
Ms. Sen briefed the gathering on the ongoing Amrit Station development works across the division and noted that doubling and expansion work is under way in the Nandyal-Nallapadu section, with enhanced amenities planned.
DRUCC member G.V. Narayana Reddy sought extension of the services of Guntur-Tirupati train up to Arunachalam for the benefit of devotees. Officials said they would discuss the matter with the Guntakal division authorities, since the stretch from Tirupati to Arunachalam falls under their jurisdiction.
R.K. Narasimham wanted the Guntur-Aurangabad train to run up to Nagarsole and Shirdinagar. For this, the officials informed that they would discuss with the Nanded division authorities.
N.Md. Jubair Basha sought extension of the train services from Nandyal to Nagarsol to Shirdinagar.
The DRUCC members have also made several other proposals.
While the branch officers addressed the issues pertaining to their jurisdiction, the matters beyond divisional authority were recommended for escalation to Railway Headquarters.
G.V. Narayan Reddy was elected by DRUCC members as the Zonal RUCC representative from this division. K. Simon, Additional DRM, and other officials were present.
