18 LHB coaches by RDSO and being monitored for its effectiveness.
3.4 Air dryers have been provided with compressors at the washing line, which
were found to be functional.
3.5 Stores depot has been designed to have single exit/entry of the material

4.3 Due to less lie-over period and pit line constraint TN 18496 (BBS-RMM) & TN 78420 (DMU) are not being given 6 hrs maintenance time on one day (Friday).
4.4 Scotch blocks with locking arrangement are not provided for safety of the staff working on washing/cleaning job to prevent movement/disturbance in the activity, only protected with board/signal.
4.5 DRS card and DDR are not being maintained due to shortage of man power.

4.7 Detachment of Pantry cars from rakes once a month (within reasonable tolerance) is not being done to facilitate complete vacation and intensive cleaning for thorough pest / rodent control treatment.
4.8 Adequate sick line facility is not available, therefore coaches are being sent to
MCSW for IOH.

coaches on washing lines is affecting cleaning of coaches.
