NFR Strengthens Safety Measures for Monsoon Operations
7/7/2025 11:15:51 PM
Early Times Report
MALIGAON, July 7: The Northeast Frontier Railway (NFR) has implemented a series of strategic preparedness measures to ensure safe and uninterrupted train operations during the monsoon season. Given the region's susceptibility to heavy rainfall, landslides and flooding, stationary watchmen have been strategically deployed at vulnerable locations to continuously monitor track conditions and raise immediate alerts if any danger is detected. Washout-prone and flood-sensitive areas have been reinforced through embankment strengthening, improved drainage systems and clearing of natural water flow channels. In addition, water level measuring gauges have been installed at critical points, particularly in hill sections, to monitor rising water levels in real time.
To enable swift response during emergencies, NFR has stationed relief materials such as boulders, sandbags and wire mesh at key locations. 'Emergency on Wheels' trains are fully equipped and kept ready with technical staff and essential tools to respond promptly to any situation. Rapid Response Teams have also been constituted across all divisions to address incidents such as landslides, track washouts and waterlogging with minimal delay. These teams are trained to restore normal operations quickly, minimizing disruption to passenger and freight services.
A total of 197 wagons loaded with boulders and quarry/dust/shingle have been positioned in Lumding Division alone, with 144 wagons of boulders and 53 wagons of quarry/dust/shingle at strategic locations such as Jagiroad, Khatkhati, Shokhuvi, Maibong, and Badarpur. Other divisions like Tinsukia (52 wagons), Rangiya (36 wagons), Alipurduar (20 wagons) and Katihar (40 wagons) have also been supplied as per monsoon preparedness scale. In addition, various capacities of Winch Crabs, Jacks, Tirfors and Tripods are available across all divisions ensuring readiness for rescue or recovery operations.
Furthermore, NFR is working closely with the India Meteorological Department (IMD) to receive real-time weather alerts and forecasts. This coordination helps railway control rooms, which are operational 24x7, to make proactive decisions regarding train movements and field deployment. Passengers are advised to stay updated through official communication channels and cooperate with railway authorities. With these comprehensive measures in place, NFR remains fully committed to ensuring safety, operational efficiency and passenger convenience throughout the monsoon season.
