Hyderabad: Arun Kumar Jain, GM, South Central Railway (SCR), conducted a comprehensive review train safety and punctuality on Monday. Neeraj Agrawal, Additional GM, SCR, participated alongside Principal Heads of Departments, while DRMs from Vijayawada, Guntakal, Guntur, Secunderabad, Hyderabad, and Nanded joined via video conference.

The GM reiterated that safety is paramount in railway operations, emphasizing strict adherence to safety protocols and the avoidance of shortcut methods. He advised staff to remain vigilant and ensure rigorous compliance with safety regulations. Regular field-level counselling was directed to reinforce safety awareness among railway personnel. Special emphasis was placed on safety measures at Road Under Bridges (RUBs) and Level Crossings, with instructions to install at least two height gauges at all RUBs to enhance track safety. Addressing recent incidents, he also reviewed cattle run-over cases.

As part of SCR’s ongoing digital transformation, Arun Kumar Jain launched the ‘Alpha Inspector’ Application—a web and mobile platform leveraging Artificial Intelligence (AI) and GPS technologies. Designed to enhance Chief Loco Inspectors' efficiency, the application automates movement tracking and record-keeping, reducing manual workload. It provides real-time access to Loco Pilot (LP) and Assistant Loco Pilot (ALP) operational data, enabling quicker responses to anomalies at divisional and Zonal levels.
