He further said that all the records maintained by commercial, electrical, medical and other wings of the department which are involved in quality maintenance were submitted to the agency for the audit. Besides, the team of the officials from the agency also conducted physical verification of the train, said the DRM.
Meanwhile, the DRM informed about planning of the railways to make journey of the passengers travelling in Prayag Raj Express much more comfortable.
Chaudhary said that the passengers travelling in AC coaches of Prayag Raj Express will be provided with bed rolls with a new and a different look. There will be new colour scheme and pattern for the bed rolls supplied to Prayag Raj Express passengers.
The set of these bed rolls will be exclusively meant for Prayag Raj and will not be supplied to other trains, which will help in maintaining the quality, said the DRM.
