There
has been a long pending demand from differently abled and Sr.
Citizen passengers for provision of a battery operated car (BOC) in Salem
Junction to travel from the coach to the escalator/elevators and vice versa.
Though Salem Division has been trying to get a service provider for
operation of a battery operated car at
Salem Junction, it could not be implemented as there were no applications for
the same, for the reason that the contractor should bear all the expenses of the
battery operated car including the electricity charges, driver salary, etc.,
but was allowed to display advertisements on the BOC.
With
a view to solve this issue, in consultation with the Southern Railway HQ at
Chennai, DRM, Salem, Sri Hari Shankar Verma, had taken steps to install battery
operated car in Salem Junction on payment basis and the services are now
available for the passengers.
The
services were launched by Sri K. Madhu, Divisional Commercial Manager, in the
presence of Sri M. Shajahan, Asst. Commercial Manager, and other officials of
Salem Junction. The BOC will be available for passengers in Platform Nos.3/4 of
Salem Junction.
The
contract has been awarded to M/s. Shuttle Cars Private Ltd., Chennai, for a
period of 5 years and as per the contract terms, the service provider will take
care of the maintenance of BOC, driver salary, and all other expenses. He has
been permitted to charge Rs.10/- per passenger from the users. No charges are
payable for children below 5 years. The provision of the BOC is meant mainly
for Sr. Citizens, Medically Sick Passengers, Differently abled persons and
pregnant women. The BOC has a carrying capacity of 4 persons and computerized
bill will be issued for payment received using a hand held terminal. No luggage
other than hand baggage will be permitted to be carried in the BOC. The
movement of the BOC will be monitored by a GPS enabled monitoring system. The
users can call the dedicated Mobile No.08939806986 for utilizing the battery
operated car services. The services will be available 24x7.
Sri
Hari Shankar Verma, DRM, Salem, said that such services will soon be introduced
in Erode and Coimbatore Railway Stations and he requested the needy passengers
to make use of the same.
