All Zonal Railways.
Sub:- Prevention of claims.
Cases have repeatedly been reported to the Ministry of Railways about a
large number of perishable and non-perishable consignments are being over-
carried beyond their booked destination.
The reason for this are generally indiscriminate and haphazard loading,
utilising full S.L.Rs capacity with bulky packages leaving no space near doors
causing hindrance/obstacle in opening the door of SLRs at the time of unloading
or insufficient about at unloading station resulting inability of the station enroute
to unloading them correctly.
Member Traffic desires that your Railway may gear up the parcel handling
machinery ensuring that the parcels are loading in a geographical manner and at
least 6" space near flap doors of SLRs are left which will facilitate in unloading/
loading within the schedule stoppage of train time and avoiding over-carriage.
Simultaneously parcel unloading point should also be alert and to ensure that all
the packages belonging to their stations must be unloaded/loaded within
schedule stoppage of train. Suitable instruction may be issued to staff concerned
and constant watch should be kept in this regard. Cases of disregard of these
instruction should be dealt severely.
Please acknowledge the receipt of this letter.

Sub:- Intimation of arrival of consignment to consignee.
