ECoR reviews security for Rath Yatra

AK Jain, general manager of South-Eastern Railway and East Coast Railway (ECoR) on Thursday reviewed the security arrangements for Rath Yatra in Puri. Jain stressed on the safety, security and punctuality of the Rath Yatra special trains. This apart, he emphasised on the sanitation and cleanliness of the station premises in view of the huge congregation of pilgrims during the Rath Yatra.

Jain also ordered the opening of a round-the-clock control room to look into the issues of the passengers and ensure smooth operations of the trains. Security arrangements have been strengthened through deployment of additional RPF (Railway Protection Force) staff at Puri and other important stations in Orissa.
