Indian Railways used drones to check the ongoing work of the Dedicated Freight Corridor (DFC).
The company has decided to monitor other under-construction projects as well as the situation in the aftermath of train accidents. Currently about 170 projects, including doubling and laying of new lines, are being executed by railways.
“We used a drone to ascertain the progress on the 42 km long track between Baghega to Srimadhopur in Rajasthan in the Western DFC and also the 56 km long line between Durgawati and Sasaram in Bihar,” DFC Managing Director Adesh Sharma said.
The drone was used for three days on a trial basis to cover the total 98 km on the DFC. The status report was prepared after the analysis of video recordings.
As far as DFC is concerned, the Durgawati-Sasaram section is complete now and awaiting safety clearance before being commissioned.
