Waltair railway division surpasses best-ever freight loading record

The Waltair railway division surpassed the best-ever loading record by 67 million tons in 11 days ahead of the financial year closing.

The division loaded more than 66.92 MT in the last 11 months and 20 days surpassing the 66.88 MT of the previous year’s loading of 66.88 MT.

This has been achieved in spite of the acute shortage of wagons, natural disasters, frequent blocks for carrying safety works in connection with new double line works, and major derailments in the critical Kottavalasa-Kirandul line territory.

Divisional railway manager Anup Satpathy complimented the team that indulged in this achievement and their relentless efforts.

DRM appreciated the team and said, “All the credit goes to my hard-working team led by senior divisional operations manager, senior divisional commercial manager, and other branch officers. There is a remarkable contribution by the division by taking initiatives to enhance the business despite several constraints.” He aspired that the Division will cross the set targets this financial year.
