Freight Rates:
There was no across-the-board increase in freight rates for the year 2010-11. However, Inflation Concession of `100 per wagon on booking of Food grains for domestic use and Kerosene Oil was granted from 1.4.2010. The taper of the Base Class-100 was rationalized w.e.f. 27.12.2010 resulting in increase in freight rates ranging from 0.15% to 3.95% from 101 to 500 kms and beyond 500 kms it was flat 4%. However, this modification in taper did not result in increase in freight rates of Food grains and Chemical Manures. The classification of Sugar and De-oiled Cakes was revised from Class-110 to Class-120.
Freight Marketing:
Private Freight Terminals (PFT): To facilitate rapid development of a network of freight terminals with private investment to provide efficient and cost effective logistics services with warehousing solution to end users, a new scheme namely Private Freight Terminal has been launched on 31.05.2010. PFT can either be green field facilities developed by private parties on private land or brown field facilities, i.e. existing private sidings/container terminals on private land which can be permitted to be converted to private freight terminals under the provisions of the scheme. The scheme will facilitate traffic handling at the terminals by private investors thereby increasing IRs market share. Of the 17 proposals received for PFTs, 4 have been finalized. 16 INDIAN RAILWAYS ANNUAL REPORT AND ACCOUNTS 2010-11
Special Freight Train Operator Scheme (SFTO): In order to increase rail share in the commodities like fertilizers, molasses, edible oil, caustic soda, chemicals, petrochemicals, alumina, bulk cement and fly ash etc., where rail co-efficient is traditionally very low, a new scheme namely Special Freight Train Operator Scheme (SFTO) has been launched on 31.5.2010 to attract private investment in special purpose wagons required for transportation of these commodities. Automobile Freight Train Operator Scheme (AFTO) and development of Automobile and Ancillary Hub: With a view to increase IRs market share in transportation of automobile i.e. two/three wheelers, cars and tractors etc. by inviting private participation for procurement and operation of special purpose wagons, a new scheme namely Automobile Freight Train Operater Scheme (AFTO) has been launched on 19.07.2010 and to facilitate bulk movement of automobile traffic by rail from the production hubs to consumption centers, a policy has also been introduced on 16.06.2010 for development of automobile & ancillary hub at strategic locations for storage and secondary distribution by road. Wagon Investment Scheme: Wagon Investment Scheme has been introduced to cater to the increasing demand for wagons through investment by individuals, corporate entities, producers association or groups like SAIL for procurement of general service wagons of the type BCN, BTPN, BRNA, BOST and BOBRN. Liberalized Wagon Investment Scheme (LWIS): LWIS allows investment in Special Purpose Wagons (SPW) and High Capacity Wagons (HCW) by end users, viz., producers, manufacturers and consumers. Under the scheme Each rake procured by investor will have an associated loading and unloading point(s) over specific route(s) or close circuit(s) as approved by IR. Wagon Leasing Companies can also procure wagons under this scheme for leasing to end users. A freight concession of 15% will be granted for 20 years on each loading of SPW operating in approved close circuits. In case of HCW, a freight concession of 12% will be granted for 20 years on each loading and an additional freight concession of 0.5% will be granted for each additional tonne of payload.

Wagon Leasing Scheme (WLS): This scheme has been launched to introduce the concept of leasing of railway wagons on IR just as Aeroplanes, Ships, Road trucks, etc. are taken on lease. The scheme aims at induction of rakes through PPP route. HCWs, SPWs and wagons for container movement are permitted for leasing under this scheme. Rakes will be procured from wagon manufacturers or through import subject to compliance of IRS specifications and mandatory inspections by IR. The policy has been introduced on 15.4.2008. Terminal Development Scheme (TDS): The objective of the scheme, introduced on 15.4.2008, is to promote development of new railway terminal through investment from private sector to facilitate rail movement of freight traffic in specific commodities.
Claims:
IR paid `9.65 crore as claim compensation in the year 2010-11 as compared to `13.99 crore paid in 2009-10. The number of claims registered by Railways was 0.26 lakh in 2008-09 and 0.21 lakh in 2009-10 and 2010-11. IR registered 0.13 lakh cases and paid `2.82 crore as claim compensation during the period April to September, 2011 as against 0.11 lakh cases and `5.47 crore as claim compensation during April to September, 2010. Several measures undertaken by IR to reduce claim cases include escorting of Goods trains, proper marking and labelling of packages to avoid their loss/over-carraige, deputing Claims Inspector in trains to prevent over-carriage, provision of dunnage to protect flap doors where required, to prevent bleeding of sugar, pulses, oil seeds, etc.

Catering Services
A new Catering Policy 2010 has been introduced which has revised the role of agency for management of catering services on IR. According to new policy, catering services (except Food Plazas, Food Courts and Fast Food Units) will be managed by Zonal Railways departmentally, instead of IRCTC, in a phased manner. However, IRCTC would continue to be a service provider to the IR and shall be responsible for managing the premium and high end outlets like Food Plazas, Food Courts and Fast Food Units including institutional catering outside the Railways. During 2010-11, Catering services were provided through approximately 11,237 static catering units and in 291 pairs of trains through pantry cars and in 136 trains through train side vending. 51 departmental catering units were operational under Zonal Railways and 721 under IRCTC. Private licencees under Zonal Railways and IRCTC operated 10,521 and 371 catering units respectively. 86 Food Plazas/Fast Food Units and 820 Automatic Vending Machines were also functional over IR. To provide low cost wholesome food and regional cuisine to common passengers, 32 Jan Ahaar outlets were commissioned at various stations. Sales turnover of departmental catering units during the year rose to `203.98 crore from `150.06 crore in the previous year and `213.51 crore was realized as licence fees from the catering/vending contractors.

Track Modernisation
Track constitutes the basic infrastructure of a railway system and bears the burden of coping with ever increasing traffic. High speed and heavy axle load operation on IR has necessitated upgradation of the track structure. Several policy initiatives have been taken to modernize the track. Track structure is upgraded at the time of renewals. Sleepers are being upgraded from wooden, steel and CST-9 to PSC sleepers. Heavier section and high tensile strength rails are being used. Presently, 52 kg/60 kg 90 UTS rails are being used in place of 90R/52 kg 72 UTS rails. Similarly, long rail panels or welded rails are predominantly used in place of earlier fish plated joints. As on 31.3.2011, on BG main lines of IR, about 87.38% of the length is covered by long welded rails, 97% with PSC sleepers and 89.3% with 52 kg/60 kg 90 or higher UTS rails. On most of BG track, rails have been converted into long welded rails and short welded rails of 39m length. Single rails are limited to locations where welded rails are not permitted on technical grounds. As on 31.3.2011, total length of welded track on main lines of IR was 78,181 kms. of which 65,957 kms. was with long welded rails and 12,224 kms. with short-welded rails.

Concrete sleepers are economical and technically best suited for high speed and heavy density traffic. Adequate capacity has been developed for production of concrete sleepers to meet the present requirement of IR. During the year, about 75.73 lakh Broad Gauge mono-block concrete sleepers and 6,473 sets of PSC turnout sleepers were produced. IR is working towards progressive mechanization. Induction of high output tamping machines for packing of plain track as well as turnouts, ballast cleaning machines and shoulder ballast cleaning machines for improving drainage of track, dynamic track stabilizer for controlled consolidation of newly laid/maintained track, point and crossing changing machines for laying concrete sleeper turnouts, etc. is a step in this direction. During 2010-11, 29 track machines were procured taking the total at the end of the year to 616. Track recording cars are deployed for electronic monitoring of track parameters at periodic intervals to enable planning of maintenance. As on 31.3.2011, IR has 6 track recording cars. During 2010-11, a total of 1,56,870 km recording was carried out.
Bridges
IR has 1,33,160 bridges out of which 720 are important, 10,828 are major and 1,21,612 are minor bridges. In 2010-11, 1,197 bridges, including 16 distressed bridges were rehabilitated/ rebuilt.
Level Crossings
As on March 31, 2011, IR maintained 32,735 level crossings, out of which 17,839 had gate-keepers and 14,896 30 INDIAN RAILWAYS ANNUAL REPORT AND ACCOUNTS 2010-11
crossings were unmanned. 434 and 187 unmanned level crossings were provided with gate-keepers in 2010-11 and 2011-12 (upto June 2011), respectively.
Land Management
IR owns about 4.59 lakh hectares of land. About 90% of the land is under Railways operational and allied usage such as laying of new lines, doubling, gauge conversions, track, stations, workshops, staff colonies, etc. The break-up of the land is as under: Description Track and structures including stations, colonies, etc. Afforestation Grow More Food scheme Commercial licensing Other uses like pisciculture Encroachment Vacant land Total Area (in lakh hectares) 3.61 0.48 0.04 0.04 0.03 0.01 0.38 4.59
Creation of various infrastructure facilities for development of future rail network largely depends on the availability of land. Therefore, preservation and meaningful interim use of railway land is the main objective of IRs land-use policy. In pursuance of Railways commitment towards environmental improvement through afforestation and also with a view to safeguarding the precious railway land against unauthorized occupation, tree plantation is being undertaken on vacant railway land with active participation of railway employees. In some States, railway land in mid-sections has been entrusted to the Forest Departments for plantation so as to ensure purposeful utilization and prevention against encroachments. Besides, railway land is also licensed to Group C and D categories of railway employees and weaker sections under Grow More Food scheme, in identified urban areas for growing vegetables, crops, etc. Licensing of railway land is permitted for the purposes directly connected with railway working. Plots of railway land at stations, goods sheds and sidings are licensed to other parties for INDIAN RAILWAYS ANNUAL REPORT AND ACCOUNTS 2010-11

stacking/storing of goods either received or to be dispatched by rail. Railway land is also licensed to schools, welfare organizations and for developing shopping complexes in railway colonies for the welfare of railway employees. Apart from this, sharable railway land is licensed to Oil Companies for setting up retail outlets and is also leased to Central/State Governments/Public Sector Undertakings on long term basis. Railways have also taken up commercial use of such land which may not be required by the Railways for its immediate future use. Through an amendment to Railways Act, 1989, Rail Land Development Authority (RLDA), under the Ministry of Railways has been constituted on 1st November, 2006 to undertake all tasks related to commercial development on railway land/air-space under the control of Ministry of Railways. So far, 135 sites have been entrusted to the Authority for commercial development.

Electrification
The advent of electric traction on Indian Railways dates back to 1925. Starting with DC traction system, IR introduced electrification on Single-phase 25 kV system and subsequently adopted the latest 2x25 kV Auto Transformer system on a limited scale. During the XI Plan period, originally 3,500 route kilometres was targeted for electrification which has been reset to 4,500 route kms. in mid-term appraisal of the XI Plan. The progress of electrification on IR over the Plan periods is as under: Period Upto VII Five Year Plan (1990) Annual Plans (1990-92) VIII Five Year Plan (1992-97) IX Five Year Plan (1997-02) X Five Year Plan (2002-07) XI Five Year Plan : First Year (2007-08) Second Year (2008-09) Third Year (2009-10) Fourth Year (2010-11) Route kms. electrified 9,252 1,557 2,708 2,484 1,810 502 797 1,117 975

Telecommunication:
Telecommunication plays an important role in train control, operation and safety. With the rapid growth in telecommunication technology, IR has decided to go for the state-of-the-art nationwide telecom network for meeting its communication needs and earning revenue by exploiting surplus capacity commercially. With this objective, RailTel, a Railways Public Sector Undertaking was formed in September, 2000. As on 31st March 2011, 37,708 route kilometres of Optical Fibre Cable has been commissioned that is carrying Gigabits of traffic. RailTel is significantly contributing in building National Knowledge Network. It is also planning to provide Broadband connectivity to the Panchayats. IR has decided to adopt Global System of Mobile Communication Railways (GSM-R) based mobile train radio communication. It has already been provided on 1,705 route kilometres and is being extended in other sections. IR has established its own Satellite hub to facilitate connectivity for the remote Freight Operations Information System (FOIS) locations and Unreserved Ticketing System (UTS) application. IR has also established its Multi-Protocol Level Switching (MPLS) based Next Generation Networks (NGN) for voice traffic which has been integrated with all the zonal and divisional exchanges. With a view to provide improved passenger amenities, Train Information Boards have been provided at 1,090 stations, Public Address System at 3,865 stations and Coach Guidance System at 480 stations.

Collisions:
Pilot project on Anti Collision Device (ACD) to prevent cases of collisions and to minimize the extent of damage caused by collisions has been in-service trial on 1,736 route kilometres of Northeast Frontier Railway. Trials with modified ACD, with improved efficacy, reliability and availability, are being carried out on electrified multipleline & automatic signalling section of Southern Railway. Work for installation of ACD has already been sanctioned on 1,600 route kilometres on Southern, South Central and South Western Railways. Further work has been sanctioned on 5,160 route kilometres on four more Zones. Action has also been taken to develop Train Collision Avoidance System (TCAS) through multiple vendors. Fouling Mark to Fouling Mark track circuiting on the entire A, B, C, D, D Special and E Special routes, where permissible speed is more than 75 kilometres per hour, was completed. Further, Fouling Mark to Block Section Limit (straight) track circuiting was completed on A and C routes. Track circuiting has been completed upto 97.48% on A, B and C routes. Pilot projects on Train Protection Warning System (TPWS) to prevent over speeding/Signal Passing at Danger (SPAD) is in use since May 2008 on 50 route kilometres of Southern Railway. Service trials are in progress for the second pilot project on 200 route kilometres of Delhi-Agra Section. TPWS has also been approved for deployment on high density networks/Automatic Signalling Sections covering 895 route kilometres of five Zonal Railways. Vigilance Control Device (VCD) is a system where if the driver does not perform a certain set of actions over a period of time, sound alarms, flashing light and brake systems start operating automatically. On-board VCD has been provided on about 75% of Diesel Locomotives and 25% of Electric Locomotives. Installation of VCD on remaining Diesel and Electric locomotives is to be carried out in a phased manner. Auxiliary Warning System to prevent cases of signal passing at danger has been working on Mumbai suburban sections. Block Proving Axle Counters (BPAC) for Last Vehicle Check was commissioned on 552 Block Sections in

Derailments:
Upgradation of Track Structure consisting of Pre-stressed concrete (PSC) sleepers, 52 Kg/60 Kg high strength (90 kg/square mm ultimate tensile strength) rails on concrete sleepers, fanshaped layout on PSC sleepers, Steel Channel Sleepers on girder bridges has been adopted on most of the routes. Track structure is being standardized with 60 kg rails and PSC sleepers on all the Broad Gauge routes, especially on high density routes to reduce fatigue of rails under higher axle-load traffic. New track construction and replacement of over-aged tracks is being done by PSC sleepers only. To improve maintenance and reliability of assets, efforts to eliminate fish-plated joints by welding single rails into long welded rails were continued. During relaying/ construction of new lines/gauge conversion, long welded rails are laid on concrete sleepers. Long rail panels of 260 M/130 M length are being manufactured at the steel plants to minimize number of welded joints. Turnouts are also being improved systematically. There is progressive shifting to flash butt welding which is superior in quality as compared to Alumino Thermic (AT) welding. All rails and welds are ultrasonically tested as per laid down periodicity. Self Propelled Ultrasonic Rail Testing (SPURT) Cars are being used for Rail flaw detection. There has been a progressive increase in the use of Tie Tamping and ballast cleaning machines for track maintenance. Also, sophisticated Track Recording Cars, Oscillograph Cars and Portable Accelerometers are being used progressively. Modern bridge inspection and management system has been adopted, which include non-destructive testing techniques, under water inspections, fiber composite wrapping, mapping unknown foundations and integrity testing, etc. Based on threat perceptions, due to adverse weather conditions or external interference, patrolling of railway 41
track including night patrolling as well as intensified patrolling during foggy weather is carried out at vulnerable locations regularly. Progressive fitment of tight lock Central Buffer Coupler (CBC) in lieu of screw coupling in new design coaches by ICF has been carried out to prevent the coaches from climbing over each other in unfortunate event of an accident. Design of passenger coaches with features of crashworthiness to absorb most of the impact energy, leaving the passenger area unaffected has been developed and coaches are being manufactured accordingly. For enhancing safety and reliability of passenger coaches, the suspension systems are being re-designed with air springs at secondary stage capable to maintain constant height at variable loads. Air springs have been developed and are being fitted on all the newly built EMU and DMU coaches for suburban trains. Air springs have now been developed for mainline coaches as well and manufacture of such coaches has already commenced. Wheel Impact Load Detector (WILD) are being deployed in a phased manner. Derailment prone 4-wheeler Tank Wagons are being progressively phased out.

1,665 level crossings were identified for replacement by sub-ways, out of which 1,393 were sanctioned in 201011. A total of 177 sub-ways were completed during the year. Criteria for manning has also been revised to make more number of unmanned level crossings eligible for manning. During 2010-11, 434 unmanned level crossings were manned.
Fire in Trains:
IR have always endeavoured to enhance fire worthiness of coaches by using more fire retardant furnishing materials such as Compreg Board/PVC for coach flooring, laminated sheets for roof, ceiling wall & partition panelling, rexene and cushioning material for seats and berths, FRP windows and UIC vestibules etc. Specifications for such furnishing materials have been periodically upgraded to incorporate the fire retardant parameters in line with UIC/other international norms. All new manufacture of coaches/periodical overhauling of existing coaches is being carried out with fire retardant specifications of the furnishing materials. With a view to improve fire safety in running trains, a pilot project for provision of Comprehensive Fire and Smoke Detection System has been taken up in one rake on Northern Railway. Field trials on this rake are on. Depending upon the efficacy of these trials, further trials will be extended. Guard-cum-Brake Van and AC coaches in all trains are provided with portable fire extinguishers to cater for emergencies due to fire accidents. Improved materials for electrical fittings and fixtures such as MCB, light fittings, terminal boards, connectors, etc., are being used progressively. Detailed instructions have been issued to Zonal Railways for observance of safe practices in handling of pantry cars and for ensuring periodical inspection of electrical and LPG fittings in the pantry cars. Intensive publicity campaigns to prevent the travelling public from carrying inflammable goods are regularly undertaken. 43

Steps taken in the direction of preventive vigilance include organizing courses and seminars to educate the staff and officers about correct rules and procedures; distributing educative literature in the form of vigilance bulletins; suggesting modifications in system to make it more responsive and transparent; adopting leveraging technology in decision making to reduce the role of discretionary powers; conducting campaigns through print and electronic media bringing out the role of public at large in curbing corruption; exhorting citizens to make use of the Vig Eye facility set up by the Central Vigilance Commission and 24 hour vigilance helpline of the Railways. Other measures taken by Vigilance organization to reduce corruption include intensifying checks at reservation offices, booking counters, parcel and goods booking offices and other such offices which deal with the public; keeping a watch on the working of officials of doubtful integrity; stringent exemplary action against those found guilty of corruption; educating and training of senior officers in the matter of tenders and contracts; devising steps to empower Railway Protection Force for taking action against touts and unauthorized travel agents; implementation of rotational transfers of officials posted on sensitive seats; preventing leakage of revenue by conducting 72 INDIAN RAILWAYS ANNUAL REPORT AND ACCOUNTS 2010-11
special drives in mass contact areas, accountal and disposal of scrap, detecting undercharges on account of overloading, leasing of SLRs, etc. Detection of systemic inadequacies during preventive checks by Vigilance department leads to recommendation of measures to improve working systems. During the year, a number of system improvements were carried out in the organization at the behest of Vigilance. In the area of preventive vigilance, the aim is thus to improve the knowledge level of staff and officers, to make the system more transparent and predictable, to enhance the use of technology in decision making and to create greater awareness among the public about corruption.

Gist of important Audit Paragraphs from the Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General of India Union Government (Railways) for the year ended 31 March, 2010 and Status Report on Pending Action Taken Notes (ATNs).
Report No.33 of 2010-11 (Compliance Audit)
During 2009-10, Gross Traffic Receipts increased by 9 per cent, whereas Ordinary Working Expenses grew by 21 per cent over the previous year. (Paras 1.3.1 and 1.3.2) Annual growth rate of freight earnings fell from 12.65 per cent to 9.49 per cent and that of passenger earnings from 10.52 per cent to 7.10 per cent. These growth rates were below Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) achieved in 2000-09. (Paras 1.4.1.1 and 1.4.1.3) The increase in freight loading by 6.53 per cent over previous year was below the CAGR of 7.32 per cent achieved during 2000-09. (Para 1.4.1.1) Depreciation Reserve Fund (DRF) is used for renewal and replacement of existing assets. Contribution to DRF was not made on the basis of historical cost, expected useful life and residual life of the assets but was dependent on the amount which the working expenses could bear. Appropriation to DRF was reduced to `2,187 crore from projected budget estimates of `5,325 crore (July 2009), a reduction of `3,138 crore. (Paras 1.2 and 1.11) Indian Railways (IR) was unable to meet the operational cost of passenger and other coaching services. In 2008-09, loss on operation of passenger and other coaching services stood at `15,268.41 crore. This loss was `7,493.50 crore in 2007-08. All category of passenger services (except AC Chair Car and AC 3 Tier) incurred losses in 2008-09. (Paras 1.6.4.1 and 1.6.4.2) 104 INDIAN RAILWAYS ANNUAL REPORT AND ACCOUNTS 2010-11
Net revenue surplus of IR sharply declined from `13,431 crore in 2007-08 to `4,457 crore in 2008-09 and to `75 lakh in 2009-10. This was mainly due to lower growth rate of traffic receipts and impact of 6th Central Pay Commission which approximately worked out to `37,472 crore during the period 2008-10. This expenditure includes payment towards arrears of salary and pension. (Para1.8) Operating Ratio (percentage of working expenses to traffic earnings) of IR deteriorated to 95.28 per cent in 2009-10 from 90.46 per cent achieved in 2008-09. Out of sixteen zonal railways, eight zones had operating ratio more than 100 per cent implying that their working expenditure was more than their traffic earnings. (Para 1.9.1) Due to non-availability of sufficient internal resources to meet Plan expenditure, dependency on General Budget increased by `7,606 crore. (Para 1.10) Depreciation Reserve Fund (used for renewal and replacement of assets), Development Fund (used for passenger and other users works, labour welfare works and safety works), Pension Fund (to meet pension liability) closed at negligible balance of `4.98 crore, `5.41 crore and `1.24 crore respectively. (Para 1.11) Railway Safety Fund financed by Railways share of Diesel Cess from Central Road Fund is used for road safety works viz construction of road under/over bridges and level crossings. There was continuous shortfall in utilization of fund since its inception in 2001. Shortfall ranged between 36 per cent to 55 per cent of Budget estimate. (Para 1.11) Development Fund and Capital Fund are appropriated from revenue surplus. Appropriation from one fund to another is not normally resorted to as these funds are dedicated for specified purposes. As surplus was only `75 lakhs, IR transferred `725 crore from Capital Fund to Development Fund to wipe out the negative closing balance under the latter. (Para 1.11) IR spent `1,907 crore in excess of authorization granted by Parliament in eight revenue grants. (Para 2.2.1) There was large scale change in priority and re-appropriation of originally allocated resources from one Plan head (category of work) to another and from one railway to another which is indicative of tentative INDIAN RAILWAYS ANNUAL REPORT AND ACCOUNTS 2010-11 105
estimation of budgetary provisions for assets acquisition, construction and replacement/renewal. (Para 2.6.2) IR, being a Government commercial undertaking, prepares its balance sheet and profit and loss accounts. It however did not disclose its significant accounting policies on revenue recognition, fixed assets, depreciation, provisioning for liabilities for pension etc. (Chapter 3) As per guidelines issued by Ministry of Finance, profit making commercial enterprises would declare a minimum dividend of 20 per cent either on equity or on post-tax profit whichever was higher. However, Railtel Corporation of India Limited (RailTel) and Indian Railways Finance Corporation (IRFC) did not comply with the above directives. Shortfall in dividend amounted to `167.39 crore. (Para 4.10)
the haulage charges for 40 feet containers to 1.8 times that of 20 feet containers. IR had thus suffered a loss of `63.07 crore. (Para 2.1.8.5) Deficiencies such as incorrect fixation of haulage charges, inconsistency in issuing orders, non-weighment of container trains and inadequacy in leasing/licensing of railway land to container operators were also noticed. (Paras 2.1.8.6 to 2.1.8.13)
Other Findings
Injudicious decision of the Railway for withdrawal of Rationalization order without considering the operational constraints of moving traffic via shorter route resulted in loss of freight to the extent of `81.35 crore. (Para 2.3) Inordinate delay in establishing operational feasibility for leasing of Parcel Cargo trains and finalization of tenders coupled with injudicious fixation of higher reserve price not only deprived the Railway of additional revenue of `57.64 crore but also resulted in non-implementation of a new scheme introduced to attract new customers. (Para 2.4)
Chapter 3: Engineering (Open Line and Construction) Construction of considerations. New Lines on socio-economic
A study of 50 new line projects sanctioned more than 10 years ago on socio-economic consideration revealed that all of them were still incomplete with `8,549 crore being incurred with no certainty of their INDIAN RAILWAYS ANNUAL REPORT AND ACCOUNTS 2010-11 107
objectives being realized. These also included five projects sanctioned more than twenty years ago. The balance funds required for completion would be of the order of `16,800 crore. (Para 3.1.4) There was a delay of two to fifteen years in preparation of detailed estimate and commencement of work. In 36 projects, no target dates for completion were fixed and in 34 projects, land acquisition process was incomplete even after lapse of more than ten years. This had adverse impact on other construction activities. (Paras 3.1.4.1 to 3.1.4.3) Keeping in view the scarcity of funds and the need for providing connectivity of backward, underdeveloped and remote areas, PAC had observed that IR should distinctly enunciate the core objectives of the projects, frame project schedules and determine the completion dates. They had also stressed upon the Railways to review each project and decide on their continuance or shelving. Audit observed that though five projects had been sanctioned more than 10 years ago and no work commenced, Railways had made no attempt to shelve these projects. Moreover, there were another four projects where the physical progress was less than ten per cent and languishing for a period of 14 to 22 years, and no attempt was made to review these projects for shelving. (Para 3.1.4.4) Target dates for completion of 34 projects had not been fixed so far and where target dates were fixed, the projects were still incomplete. (Para 3.1.5.1) Allotment of funds to projects was not done judiciously. Audit observed that despite funds remaining unutilized in the previous years, the funds were continued to be made available to projects where no work had been undertaken. (Para 3.1.5.2) Though Railways had completed Amravati-Chandurbazar (44 kms) section of Amravati-Narkher new line at a cost of `123.07 crore in February 2006 and Hasan Shraavanabegola (41.7 kms) section of Hasan-Bangalore new line in January 2006 at a cost of `140 crore, no train services had been commenced to utilize the investment. (Para 3.1.6.4)
Other Findings

were irregularly paid till August 2008 in a span of more than 8 years. (Last payment made 19 years after the completion of supply). Audit investigation revealed breach of established internal controls at various levels that facilitated and sustained the fraudulent transactions. (Para 3.2) Railways failure to enter into project specific agreement with CIDCO not only resulted in blockage of funds of `56.92 crore due to stoppage of Belapur-Seawood Uran Double Line Project but also non-achievement of the main objective of providing rail connectivity to public. (Para 3.3) Commencement of a bridge work (for replacing existing Yamuna Bridge) passing through a portion of historical Salimgarh Fort without obtaining required permission and land from Archaeological Survey of India resulted in stoppage of work and unproductive expenditure (`33.92 crore) since March 2007 besides retention of outlived bridge. (Para 3.4)
that RVNL, even after seven years since its inception, continued to be largely dependent on the resources of the Railways. The performance of RVNL on project execution and management was inefficient as they were plagued by delays and cost overruns. (Para 7.1) Review of the arrangement of the Railways with RCIL with regard to transfer of assets and payments regarding revenue sharing and recovery of Railway dues revealed inadequate internal controls within the Railways in respect of transactions with RCIL. The Railways were totally dependent on RCIL records in respect of all arrangements entered into and payments made were accepted without verifying the accuracy of Railway dues. There was lack of coordination between Railway Board and Zonal Railways in implementation of policy guidelines. (Para 7.2)
the state governments has been weak. In this report also Audit observed continued lack of coordination between the GRP and RPF especially escorting of trains leading to duplicity of manpower deployed. Despite being aware of the heightened threat perception, IR has not been able to implement several measures recommended by the High Level Committee for providing security to railway passengers at stations as well as in trains. Effort has not been made to control access to railway stations and to decongest even sensitive high risk stations. Further, installation of electronic surveillance system has been slow and not up to international standards. As a follow up to the recommendation of the Committee, the Railway Board decided in July 2008 to implement an Integrated Security System (ISS) to ensure security at railway stations. The ISS consists of broad areas like Camera surveillance system (CCTVs) on platforms, Access Control solutions for filtering out bonafide passengers, personal and baggage screening system. Implementation of the Integrated Security System (ISS) was slow. ISS was not implemented in any station till March 2011. Escorting the trains was left to the local Railway Administration and the same was based on manpower availability, threat perception of area and importance of the train. Crime rate has more than doubled in the last five years. The reporting of crime committed on trains is a serious problem. In many instances FIR forms were not available with the coach attendants. The track patrolling was being carried out sporadically on the basis of threat perception and availability of manpower. Further, Rail Roko agitations have resulted in large scale disruption to rail traffic as well as damage to Railway property. Audit also observed that armed guards were not posted at the GMs offices as well as workshops and station yards checked by Audit. The Railways and the State Governments appear to be very slow in filling up the existing vacancies (7,174 and 6,335 in RPF and GRP respectively as on 31.3.2010) or redeploying man power for meeting the challenge of increased threat. Railways are reluctant to outsource security even in non core areas to private agencies. A surprise check carried out at one high risk station in each zone on one day in collaboration with officers of RPF revealed the lack of seriousness in the approach of the IR towards security of its passengers. INDIAN RAILWAYS ANNUAL REPORT AND ACCOUNTS 2010-11 111
No attempt has been made by them to control access to even high risk stations which is the first step towards ensuring security. The surveillance equipment installed is either faulty or incorrectly placed resulting in gaps in the system.
