In the Prayagraj region, new safety protocols for non-interlocked railway crossings were implemented to reduce human error. These regulations require gatekeepers to use red flags or lights and obtain explicit permission from station masters before reopening gates. Concurrently, the Kota Division utilized Simplex Quick Relaying System machinery to renew tracks on the Kota-Nagda section to improve load capacity. Further developments include the Northeast Frontier Railway reviewing station functionality and safety arrangements at Sairang Railway Station in Mizoram.
