Divisional Railway Managers of Palakkad and Mysuru Divisions hold coordination meeting

The first coordination meeting of divisional heads along with divisional-level officers of Southern Railway’s Palakkad Division and South Western Railway’s Mysuru Division ahead of the transfer of Mangaluru Railway Region from Palakkad to Mysuru was held in Mangaluru on Friday.

Palakkad Divisional Railway Manager (DRM) Madhukar Roat and Mysuru DRM Mudit Mittal held the meeting, assisted by branch officers from the mechanical, electrical, operations, commercial, engineering, and other departments. The meeting was held to ensure a smooth transition of control and operations of the Mangaluru Railway Region from Palakkad to Mysuru.

Both DRMs emphasised that the primary concern of both divisions is to ensure that the transition is smooth and seamless, with minimal disruption to operations. They agreed that all necessary preparatory and coordination measures would be taken well in advance so that train services and railway operations continue normally from October 1, when the jurisdictional change comes into effect.
