T’puram/Palakkad: New divisional railway managers have taken charge at Thiruvananthapuram and Palakkad railway divisions. Sunil Bajpai is the DRM at Thiruvananthapuram while Anand Prakash is the Palakkad DRM.
After taking charge, Bajpai expressed hope that the state government would soon step in to fund the proposed suburban railway corridor project. He said the project was an economically feasible and cheaper one to implement than other projects such as the metro rail and mono rail undertaken by the state government.
Rajesh Agrawal, the outgoing DRM who had mooted the project, said the suburban rail project was inevitable considering the volume of railway commuters.
Prakash, an Indian railway service of engineers officer of 1982 batch, has wide experience in construction and open line operations, especially in tunnel and bridge construction. He has worked in Western Railway, Central Railway, West Central Railway, rail coach factory at Kap urthala, north frontier railway and IRCON.
