Outcomes and achievements:
1. The long-pending modernisation and upgrading of the railway workshop at Ashokapuram in the city is set to take shape with the physical engineering work of the project set to commence this month.
2. The upgrading entails creating new infrastructure towards capacity augmentation of the workshop which undertakes Periodic Over Hauling (POH) of railway coaches.
3. At present, 70 coaches undergo POH each month and this will increase to 80once the new facilities are in place.
4. The new infrastructure includes new sheds and heavy-duty 60 tonne cranes to lift and shift the coaches which will obviate the need for procuring loco every time a coach needs to be moved. It will also reduce the time taken for POH.
5. Construction of new carriage lift, heavy corrosion repair shop of 20 coaches capacity with provision of 10 BG tracks with a spacing of 10 meters apart for a length of 80 meters each among others are other facilities to be created.
