This new star added to the emblem of the Railways is a clear indication that the scope and responsibilities of the Indian Railways have increased more than ever before. This new administrative division will provide several direct benefits to the general public:
-
Fast administrative decisions: With the creation of a new and dedicated zone, there will be no delay in taking major decisions related to railways at the local level. Files will get clearance quickly, due to which the pending work will be completed faster.
-
Better Train Operations and Infrastructure: Modernization of stations and tracks falling under the new zone will gain momentum. This will help in starting new trains and improving their punctuality.
-
Modern facilities for passengers: The main objective of Railways is not only to run trains but also to make the journey of passengers comfortable. With the creation of a new administrative structure, there will be a major improvement in the quality of cleanliness, security and other passenger facilities at the stations.
There are no less challenges
However, Indian Railways will also face several immediate challenges to ensure the smooth running of a new railway zone. These include deployment of adequate railway employees and officers for the new zone, proper distribution of resources and budget with the old zones and mutual coordination. However, the Railway Administration believes that all these initial hurdles are temporary and very soon the new zone will start serving the country at full capacity.
Overall, the new 18-star logo visible on the engines and boards of trains presents a strong picture of a changing and growing India, which is committed to connecting even the remotest areas of the country with the mainstream of development through the rail network.
