Indian Railways making all efforts to ensure free movement of essential commodities across country

Indian Railways is making all efforts to ensure that there is no shortage of sugar, salt and edible oil during the nationwide lockdown. The loading, transportation and unloading of these essential commodities have been in progress in full swing across the country.

 

In the last 13 days, Railways have loaded and carried one thousand 342 wagons of sugar, 958 wagons of salt and 378 wagons of edible oil. Freight



movement is being closely monitored by the senior level officers. Issues which were earlier being faced by Railways at many terminal points in loading and unloading operations are being effectively resolved.

 

Indian Railways along with Ministry of Home affairs are in touch with State Governments to sort out any such operational issue if they arise.
