South Central Railway (SCR) is set to launch a first-of-its-kind Rail Parcel app aimed at providing door-to-door parcel booking and delivery services to rail users. Hyderabad Division will be the first in Indian Railways to implement this pilot project.
SCR General Manager Sanjay Kumar Srivastava will launch the application and sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Indian Institute of Management (IIM)-Bengaluru to conduct a cargo logistics market study at SCR.
The parcel app is a comprehensive digital platform that integrates first-mile pickup, middle-mile rail and last-mile delivery into a unified system, making package movement easier, faster and more transparent for customers. It will serve as a unified platform for parcel booking, tracking and management, offering online booking, digital payments and real-time tracking with automatic updates sent to customers at every stage.
Safety Award
Fifteen employees received Safety Employee of the Month awards in recognition of their dedication and vigilance in preventing hazardous conditions. The awards were presented by the General Manager at an appreciation meeting attended by the Principal Departmental Heads and Divisional Railway Managers of Secunderabad, Hyderabad, Vijayawada, Guntakal, Guntur and Nanded.
The awards were given to critical frontline workers, including track maintainers, station masters, locomotive pilots, pointers and keymen – five from Vijayawada, three each from Secunderabad, Nanded and Guntakal and one from Guntur division.
Mr. Srivastava reiterated that safety requirements must never be compromised. He stressed the need to sensitize employees on all aspects of safety, strengthen fire prevention measures, conduct checks on switches and crossings, and ensure the removal of construction materials near the tracks after the work is completed, according to a press release.
