Useful Useful Agree Useful Great Useful:Hail NR LKO Div. Great
A surprise visit from Shri Satish Kumar, current member of Railway Board and future Chairman of Railway Board to Prayag Jn and Phaphamau Jn exposes the incompetence of NR Lucknow division. They are severely lacking behind in completing railway projects related to Mahakumbh which is about to be held in 150 days and moreover have destroyed the minimum facilities they provide to the passengers of these two stations.

Recently GM NR visited Prayagraj and expressed his disappointment with the speed of work going on here, current Railway Board Chairperson Jaya Sinha also

expressed her frustration over the work of NR Lko and yet after so many high level officers scolding DRM NR he isn't able to improve things here.

One example of NR incompetence is that they blocked Annie Besant road for making an underpass in Nov,2023 and claimed it will be completed by Feb 28, 2024 and after 6 months delay they're yet to achieve 70% target, funny thing is NER managed to build 2 underpasses Jhunsi side in about 6 months and they are also not known for speedy work.

It's high time NR Lko transfers every station in Prayagraj district to NCR and honestly maybe the whole division should be transferred to NCR or NER.

Just another frustrated rant about NR Lko's work culture.

these stations under the NCR's General Manager (GM) and Divisional Railway Manager (DRM) in Prayagraj. The move is seen as crucial for better management and oversight, particularly as the North Central Railway is already headquartered in Prayagraj and has a divisional office there. This consolidation could streamline operations and improve the overall efficiency of managing these stations, especially during large-scale religious events.

Prayagraj mein, do aur zonal railways ke chhe railway stations ko North Central Railway (NCR) mein merge karne ka proposal hai.

Prayagraj mein General Manager (GM) aur Divisional Railway Manager (DRM) ke neeche in stations ka control aur monitoring centralize ho jaayega. Ye kadam behtar management aur oversight ke liye zaruri samjha ja raha hai, kyunki North Central Railway ka headquarters aur divisional office pehle se hi Prayagraj mein hai.
