implemented due to numerous complaints about insufficient water in coaches. The Railway Board has compiled a list of these 96 trains, including 11 from the Northeast Railway, based on passenger complaints.

ne iske liye aadesh jaari kar diya hai. Pehle in trains ka stopage 2 se 5 minutes ka tha. Is wajah se sabhi bogies mein pani nahi bhar pata tha, jisse yaatriyon ko pareshani hoti thi. 96 trains mein NE Railway ki 11 trains bhi hain. Railway Board ke director coaching Sanjay R Neelam ne 15 October ko sabhi operational managers ko letter jaari karke yeh system jaldi se jaldi implement karne ke liye kaha hai. Board ke aadesh ke baad Northeast Railway ke operational department ne taiyari shuru kar di hai. 1st November se yeh system shuru hone ki ummeed hai. Yeh list rail ka portal par aayi shikayaton ke basis par banayi gayi hai. Ab SCADA technology se 10 minutes mein sabhi bogies mein pani bhar jaata hai. Is wajah se train ka minimum 10 minutes ka stopage jaroori hai. Article mein kuchh trains aur stations ke naam bhi diya gaye hain jahan yeh system implement kiya jaayega. Jaise Raxaul Antyodaya Express at Chhapra, Barauni Clone Express at Chhapra, Darbhanga Sabarmati Express at Chhapra, Gomtinagar Express at Aishbagh, Garib Nawaz Express at Mau, Anand Vihar Weekly Express at Gorakhpur, Ahmedabad Antyodaya Express at Chhapra, Satyagraha Express at Gonda, LTT Antyodaya Express at Chhapra, and Jannayak Express at Gonda.
