What’s inside:
This article talks about the Railways’ new measures to ensure passenger safety during the cold weather in Bihar.
With winter here, the Railways in Patna are taking steps to keep passengers safe. The Danapur Railway Division in Bihar has started a special ‘Winter Night Patrolling’ to watch over the tracks at night. This is important because the cold can cause the iron tracks to contract or crack, which could lead to accidents.
The Railways have set up a big patrol campaign along the 2080 km railway line. Around 780 staff members are working in teams of two, patrolling from 10 pm to 6 am every night. Each team carefully checks two kilometers of double track and four kilometers of single track, ensuring that everything is secure.
This special monitoring will continue until February 2026 on key routes like Jhajha-Patna and Pandit Deendayal Upadhyay railway sections. If any cracks or problems are found during the patrol, the repair team is notified right away to fix them. This helps in preventing any possible accidents and ensures a safe journey for everyone.
To make sure everything runs smoothly, there is a strict system in place. Patrol teams meet between stations to sign each other’s registers, confirming they have checked their designated areas. This way, no part of the track is missed during inspections.
The main goal of the Railways is to ensure the safety of all passengers. With these measures in place, they are committed to providing safe travel throughout the winter season and beyond.
