NEW DELHI; SUDIP BANDHYOPADHYAY 26 July, 2017 Chairperson, 4 Ashadha, 1938 (Saka) Standing Committee on Railways CHAPTER I REPORT This Report of the Standing Committee on Railways deals with the action taken by the Government on the Recommendations/Observations contained in their Twelfth Report (16th Lok Sabha) on "Safety and Security in Railways". 2. The Twelfth Report was presented to the Lok Sabha and laid in Rajya Sabha on 14 December, 2016. It contained 34 Recommendations/Observations. 3. Action Taken Notes in respect of all the Recommendations/Observations have been received and categorised as follows: (i) Recommendations/observations which have been accepted by the Government:- Para Nos. 2,4,5,8,9,12,13,14,16,20,22,25,27,28,29,30,31,33 and 34 Total : 19 Chapter II (ii) Recommendations/observations which the Committee do not desire to pursue in view of the Government’s replies:- Para No. 10, 17 and 18 Total :03 Chapter III (iii) Recommendations/observations in respect of which replies of the Government have not been accepted by the Committee and which require reiteration:- Para Nos. 1,6,7,11,15 and 32 Total : 06 Chapter IV (iv) Recommendations/observations in respect of which final replies are still awaited:- Para No. 3,19,21,23,24 and 26 Total : 06 Chapter V 1 4. The Committee trust that utmost importance will be given to the implementation of the Recommendations accepted by the Government. The Committee desire that action taken replies to the Recommendations/Observations contained in Chapter-I of this Report and final replies to the recommendations included in Chapter V of the Report should be furnished to them not later than three months of the presentation of this report. 5. The Committee will now deal with the action taken by the Government on some of their recommendations/observations. A. Overview of Safety in Indian Railways Recommendation (Para No.1) 6. The Committee had noted that the Indian Railways is entrusted with the immense task of providing transportation facilities to the passengers and the freight alike while undertaking utmost care to ensure that the operations are safe and secure. They had further observed that adherence to safety, an ongoing and a continuous process, is a multi-disciplinary effort in the Indian Railways. Each department defines its own safety parameters for assets installed/used and monitors/maintains the parameters in the safety limits which are codified manuals i.e. General and Subsidiary Rules and are maintained as per laid down protocol. Each department lays emphasis and keeps the concern of their own department a priority without realizing that the needs could be more significant on other sides. The Committee, however, had their reservations on the existing system in IR of providing safety in the backdrop of inter department differences or even intra– department prioritization on safety issues. They were of the view that safety being a non negotiable subject should be dealt with in a prompt, precise and diligent manner and preferably by a separate department as inter disciplinary methods of dealing with this aspect at micro level only serves to reduce its efficiency, resulting in delayed response and compromises on safety. The Committee, therefore, recommended that the current structure of Railway Board as well at the Zonal and Divisional levels should be reviewed and the safety infrastructure of the Indian Railways should be recast to the extent that it 63 includes at least a separate or a 2 full-fledged Department solely entrusted with providing safety and security across its area of jurisdiction. The Ministry with their presently ongoing organisational restructuring, should seriously consider appointment of a full-fledged Member (Safety) within the Railway Board in order to provide dedicated focus to the railway safety operations. This will help and ensure synchronise micro level safety measures into a holistic and macro level safe Railway operations. They agreed with the proposal of the Ministry that there will be in-house operational changes such as the Safety Directorate will now be involved in proactive auditing operations, instead of being the passive data analyst as of now. They, however, desired that this proposal should be finalised at the earliest so that necessary correctives can be taken up immediately. 7. In their Action Taken Reply, the Ministry of Railways have stated as under: “Safety is integral to the construction, certification, operation and maintenance of Railway System. Each Member is responsible for the respective part pertaining to the department viz.: infrastructure, rolling stock, signaling and operations. Overall co-ordination is done by Member (Traffic), Railway Board. Hence, the question of a separate Member for Safety is not pertinent.” 8. The Committee had expressed their reservations on the existing system in Indian Railways for providing safety in the backdrop of inter department difficulties and had urged for the integration of all aspects of rail safety under a single nodal department for quicker response time as well as avoiding bureaucratic friction. The reply of the Ministry on this suggestion has been very dismissive. The Committee feel that such an attitude reflects the Ministry's unwillingness to relinquish age old practices and procedures.

Enhancing speed of trains: At present, speed of trains of Mail/Express trains is below 55 kmph. These are low as per international standards. Segregation of freight and passenger traffic, enhancing the sectional speeds, and rationalization of stoppages are important measures for speed enhancement. The speed of especially the passenger trains is quite low at present primarily because of the coaching stock in use and due to multiplicity of stoppages enroute. There is scope for speeding up of these services by replacing trains with conventional stock by fast moving EMUs/MEMUs/DEMUs. Enhancing the sectional speeds is another enabling factor in speeding them.

  • Chapter 2 Production and Maintenance of LHB Coaches in Indian Railways
    Report No. 2 of 2020 Chapter 2 Production and Maintenance of LHB (Railways) Coaches in Indian Railways Chapter 2 Production and Maintenance of LHB Coaches in Indian Railways 2.1 Introduction Indian Railways have been transporting passenger traffic mainly through conventional coaches of ICF design. These coaches are manufactured at Integral Coach Factory, Perambur (ICF) and Rail Coach Factory, Kapurthala (RCF). A limited number of these coaches are being manufactured at BEML (Bharat Earth Movers Limited)/ Bangalore. The ICF type of coaches have limitations in terms of speed potential, heavy corrosion, poor riding comfort and wearing of parts in the under gear. To overcome these limitations, Indian Railways entered into Transfer of Technology (ToT) contract with M/s ALSTOM LHB/Germany for production of LHB36 design stainless steel coaches. Accordingly, their inception and mass production in Railways was started in 2002. First LHB coach was introduced in Indian Railways network in December 2003. LHB coaches are far superior with respect to passenger comfort, safety, speed, corrosion, maintenance and aesthetics than ICF coaches. These coaches are also Figure 2.1: ICF Conventional coach and LHB coach longer as compared to ICF design resulting into more carrying capacity. The benefits from these types of coaches include: 36Linke Hoffman Busch coaches 25 Report No. 2 of 2020 Chapter 2 Production and Maintenance of LHB (Railways) Coaches in Indian Railways Better Speed Potential – Maximum operating speed of LHB coaches is 160 kmph (tested upto 180 kmph) as compared to maximum speed of 140 kmph in ICF coaches.

  • Output Outcome Framework 2020-21
    OUTPUT OUTCOME FRAMEWORK 2020-21 (MAJOR CENTRAL SECTOR & CENTRALLY SPONSORED SCHEMES) Preface Major Expenditure Reforms have been undertaken by the Government over the last few years. This not only includes simplification of appraisal and approval processes, but also structural changes in the process of budget making itself, like doing away with Plan / Non-plan distinction. As a result, the cost-centres are being treated in an integrated manner, within only the statutory revenue capital framework. This enables another major structural reform, which is to bring the public schemes and projects under a monitorable Output-Outcome framework. Since 2017-18, in addition to the financial outlays of schemes of the Ministries being indicated in the Budget document, the expected outputs and outcomes of the schemes are also being presented in a consolidated Outcome Budget document, along with the Budget. These Outlays, Outputs and Outcomes are being presented to the Parliament in measurable terms, bringing-in greater accountability for the agencies involved in the execution of government schemes and projects. Outlay is the amount that is provided for a given scheme or project in the Budget; while Output refers to the direct and measurable product of program activities, often expressed in physical terms or units. Outcomes are the collective results or qualitative improvements brought about in the delivery of these services. The Outcome Budget presents (a) the financial outlay for the year 2020-21 along with (b) clearly defined outputs and outcomes (c) measurable output and outcome indicators and (d) specific output and outcome targets for FY 2020-21. This will significantly enhance transparency, predictability and ease of understanding of the Government’s development agenda.
