The review also touched upon the development of freight business, with a focus on strengthening the outreach of Business Development Units (BDUs). Chaudhuri stressed the need for BDUs to foster trust, support, and confidence among customers while ensuring that railway initiatives and concessions reach their intended recipients. Notably, the General Manager highlighted the steady increase in the loading of food grains and other commodities month by month.
