He also stressed on ensuring safety by curtailing asset failures which are leading to loss of punctuality and the late running of trains. He instructed all the staff and officials to monitor carefully each and every aspect of failures like Loco failures, Yard derailments, Signal & Telecommunication failures etc which are leading to loss of punctuality and safety.
