No.97/TC-III/106                                                         New Delhi, dated 30-5-1997.

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:- Sealing of wagon - use of metal tape seals. 
 
 
  
 
Ministry of Railways have decided that the system of metal tape seal in 
place of wax seal should be adopted for booking the wagons by all the Zonal 
Railways on permanent basis.  The system of sealing the wagon should be 
implemented within a period of three months  from the date of receipt of these 
instructions. 
 
 
The system drawing, material specification for metal tape seal and for one 
time keyless locks have already been furnished to Zonal Railways vide this 
Ministry's letter of even number dated 20.6.91. 
 
 
It is requested that proper arrangement should be made by Zonal 
Railways to ensure the availability of adequate stock of metal tape seals and one 
time keyless locks.  It should also be ensured that embossing machines required 
for this purpose are maintained properly by stations so that his scheme is made a 
complete success. 
 
 
The extra funds required to implement this scheme will be arranged by the 
Railways from their own resources.

Sub:- Intimation of arrival of consignment to consignee. 
 
 
During the course of his interview in ZEE T.V., M.R.'s attention has been 
invited to the fact that in respect of consignments which are partly delivered and 
balance consignment are yet to be delivered, the railways do not intimate the 
consignee as soon as the balance consignments are received by the destination 
station, forcing the consignees to visit  the station repeatedly for ascertaining the 
position of delivery of balance consignment.
