[9:26 AM, 6/15/2019] Co Ord Samasti: Good morning sir, last night TRT block allowed-(3 hr 20min)
between KJI-JYG

Today again One over-dimensioned new sleeper(having height 260 mm against 240 mm due to
manufacturing defect) got stuck in conveyor , insert had to be cut by gas and its edge was broken
manually with hammer, it took about 35 minutes. So extra time taken in clearing block. Despite my
request to clear block at JYG in forward direction, Block had to cleared in KJI in pushing direction,which is
7.5 Km from site & it takes more than 1 hr running time to travel 7.5 km in pushing direction as speed is
upto 8 kmph only in pushing. Either base has to shifted to JYG or block to be cancelled at JYG instead of
KJI and block of 4.5 hr to be allowed to avoid block bursting.

 Sub:- Incident of block bursting continues
--------------
On 15.06.19 during the TRT machine working, an incidence of block bursting has been
occurred even the sufficient block as 3.20 hrs from 1.10 am. to 4.30 am had been granted. Block has
been cleared at 6.00 am i.e. 1.30 hrs. more time have been taken to clear the block. It shows that, the
primary preparation before avail the block is not enough.
Also before this event, it has been observed that traffic block had been bursted several
times during the TRT working, during past.
As per GM’s instruction, no block bursting is allowed , therefore shall not be
tolerated . The above incidence has been viewed very seriously by GM.
Therefore you are advised that block shall only be taken when all preparatory
arrangement have been made and personally certified by you.
Henceforth, all the machine blocks shall be attended by respective AENs.
In addition, following to be strictly adhered during TRT machine working-
1. AEN to attend every block , even BCM.
2. PWI/ IC/ SKI to attend every block , even BCM.
3. Arrangement as per @ 250 per block or say 1 km in 4 blocks.
4. All necessary precautions must be completed before demanding blocks
5. This time PWI is being given SF/11.
6. Next time, AEN will be taken up for block bursting.
7. Sr. DEN-I will attend @ 1 block per week,
8. By now, initiative should has been taken by AEN to ensure that oversize sleepers are detected
beforehand, and taken off to ensure recurrence of this. Since, it has already happened twice, TODAYS
BLOCK BURSTING WILL BE TREATED AS AVOIDABLE. and action should be taken against all
erring officials, from top to bottom.
9. A template should be made for sorting out oversized sleepers.
10.. Probable date of handing over the TRT mc to Srden/2 should be communicated to him at the earliest so
THAT IT IS ENSURED BY HIM THAT THE TRT MC WORKS WITHOUT ANY BREAK.
11. SRDEN/2 - PLS MAKE ALL ARRANGEMENTS FOR UTILIZING TRT IN NKE PNY SECTION,
AS SOON AS YOU GET THE MACHINES.
All concerned to note above and ensure strict compliance No block bursting is allowed,
Hence for shall not be tolerated.

extendedto ten years on an yearly basis subject to the condition that two detonators from eachlot of over 7 year
old ones are tested for the explosive content and the results being found satisfactory.For new unmanned
level X-ings the visibility requirements for road users along thetrack shall be 600 m with single or
double line track. Where this is not feasible, thedistance may be reduced suitably with the approval
of Chief Engineer provided themaximum permissible speed is less than 100 kmphIn case of LWR if rail
temperature after a maintenance operation exceeds td + 20 degreeC, then during the period of consolidation as
per para 1.18 of LWR manual a
speedrestriction of 50 kmph on BG shall be imposed when shoulder and crib compactionhas been done.
