JOINT
PROCEDURE ORDER - DISTANCES FOR LEVY OF FARES AND FREIGHT : CHANGES IN.
It has been noticed that there has been avoidable
delay in some cases in notifying the revision in chargeable distances due
to opening of station, diversion, realignment, new
lines, chord lines, bye pass lines, doubling of
tracks, electrification of lines and yards etc., which has resulted in
wrong charging of fare and freight. For instance,
Eastern Railway failed to notify the correct chargeable distance between
Katrasgarh-Nichitpur and Kusunda-Tetulmari on Dhanbad-Gomoh-Gaya section
of E.C.Railway (erstwhile Eastern Railway) which was laid more than 20
years ago and movement of Goods Trains was started via these link lines
since then. Similar delays on other
railways have also come to light. Board have
taken a serious view in the matter. Similarly, the
siding/shunting charges continue to be charged on the basis of Diesel loco
charges even after the electrification of sidings.
The matter has been examined. It
has been decided that following procedures should be followed so as to
ensure that such cases do not recur in future:
1.
The department
executing the works viz. Civil Engineering, Electrical Engineering etc. of
Zonal Railways should intimate the Commercial and Operating Department
about the changes in distances, both increase/decrease, due to opening of
station, diversion, realignment, new lines, chord
lines, bye pass lines, doubling of tracks,
electrification of lines and yards etc., well in advance prior to opening
of such new facilities.
2.
The Commercial
Department on receipt of intimation from Engineering/Electrical
Department, will examine whether any change is required to be made in the
distance for charge notified in Local/Junction Distance Tables.
If required, Commercial Department would issue commercial
notification and make suitable changes/correction in the Local Distance
Tables and Junction Distance Tables.
3.
For all the new cases,
the date of effect of such notification should be the date of
opening/commissioning of the new route/work/facilities.
