1) Reliability improvement works:
 Checking of OHE with 2032mm Pantograph:
As per the instructions from the Headquarters, the
checking of OHE with 2032 pantograph
completed in KZJ-BPQ, KZJ-SC, SC-WD, DKJ-KI Fig: Checking of OHE with

section in SC Division. 2032 mm in SC-WD .

2) Other Safety Improvement Works in train operations:
 Provision of Sigma Boards ahead of STOP Signals:
To assist Loco pilots for easily identifying the STOP
signals during foggy weather conditions, Division
has taken up the work of provision of Retro
reflective SIGMA boards, ahead of the STOP

signals. 44 no’s sigma boards were provided.

 Attention of Leaning/Critical implantation masts:
Leaning/critical implantation masts in OHE are the major concern of panto
entanglements and safely operation of trains with higher speeds respectively in
the Indian Railways. To avert all the problems due to leaning/critical
implantation masts the division has eliminated 08 No. by erecting the new masts
at ALER jurisdiction during the month, with this total 44 locations eliminated in
the year 2022-23.

 Replacement of rusted Cantilever’s:

Rusted cantilevers are the one of the causes for breakdown in polluted
areas. Due to the rusting of the cantilever tubes, the mechanical strength of
the cantilever will decrease drastically and leads to breakdown of OHE. To
avert the failures due to rusting of cantilevers, replacement work has taken

up and replaced 37 No’s in pollution prone areas in DKJ jurisdiction.
