In the recent past it has been observed that parcel clerks are generating loading summary
through the thin client instead of the HHT or the HHT docking system. This has the following

serious repercussions:-

. Delay in updation of status
2. Non provision of loading summary to RPF, Guard and Transit copy for the SLR Instructions
issued vide Railway Board's letter no.2004/C&IS/PMS/Programme/Pt. dated 27/03/2008(copy

—

enclosed for reference)

3. Errors in filling in dispatch particulars as no validation is done while manually entering data into
the thin client leading to misdispatch of the parcels resulting in serious public complaints as well
as claims. The procedure communicated’ vide Dy.CCM/PMS/NR's letter dated 19/05/2015
referred above may be adopted. Inspecting/Divisional officers may keep a close watch on the

usage of thin clients for preparation of loading summaries.
