More than 122 countries of the world have been victimized by the coronavirus. In the midst of the ongoing lockdown due to the Coronavirus, East Coast Railway has used drones to protect its properties for the first time. The headquarters of the East Coast Railway is at Bhubaneswar in Odisha. According to Raja Ram, Chief Security Commissioner, East Coast Railway, 'During lockdown, coaches, PRS counters etc. are not in use and are away from the public eye.'

This state takes strict action against those who violate lockdown

Security of railway station, goods yard, wagon stock etc. is also necessary. RPF has the responsibility of protecting it all. The security of departmental properties is a tough challenge in the Naxalite violence affected East Coastal Railway area during the lockdown. This is the reason that for the first time in the history of Railways, drones have been installed round the clock to protect these properties.

The railways have asked the cement companies to take off their goods loaded on the goods trains soon, so that the supply of the necessary material to other parts of the country can be ensured through them. Sources said on Monday that cement sacks are filled in around 300 freight trains and companies are not taking interest in getting it off. The reason for this is that the railways has waived the demurrage etc. charges in view of the prevailing conditions. There is no loss to companies due to this. The railways have warned the companies that if they do not empty the rack soon, the charges will be applied.
