2 FEATURE ACTION PLAN
2.1 Strategies for enhancing revenue loading
(i)Proposal for augmentation of full rake handling facilities at all major freight terminals.
(ii)Providing better facilities such as approach road, sufficient lighting drinking water & merchant room at all the important good sheds for the convenience of traders.
(iii)Boost up of traffic by the traditional loaders and curtailing the terminals detentions by extending working hours as well as better co-ordination with customers.
(iv)Advance information to the customers regarding incoming rakes so that sufficient time is available with customers for handling the consignments.
(v)Close monitoring and constant watch over the activities over the freight terminals.
(vi) Stress on the quick clearance of freight stock.
(vii) Continuous efforts, for minimizing the terminal detentions
3 LONG TERM PLANING FOR STONE GRIT LOADING
JHS division and its circulating area has sufficient potential of stone grit and the loading of stone grit is the going to become the spinal chord of the division in this connection M/s Chintnpurni Project New Delhi has approached and submitted a proposal for proposed 35 Lace Metric Tone loading of ballast from the BTKP station to the destinations of Fariah and Jonpur city stations the details of proposed loading of ballast is appended below –
i)Total loaded rakes dispatched (proposed) – 973 during next 02 years.
ii)Average rakes per month (proposed) – 41 Nos
iii)Average income per month (proposed) – 8.84 Crores.
iv)Average income per year (proposed) – 106.08 Crores.
The preliminary preparation for construction of basic infrastructure is in progress and hopefully proposed loading of stone grit will be started in forth coming months.
