Similarly, the country’s first elevated Mass Rapid Transit System at Chennai has also been completed; the system connects Chennai Beach to Luz.
Territorial Readjustment of Zones and In-House Reforms
In order to bring about greater efficiency in administration, speedy implementation of on-going projects, better customer care, reduction of workload on General Managers etc., Indian Railways have decided to create seven new zones by territorial re-adjustment of existing zones.
The new zones, having limited financial burden on Railways, will have thin and lean, efficient and modern administrative set up. Two of the new zones have already started functioning.
