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.
