ECoR installs modern parcel scanner machines at 10 locations to strengthen railway security

Bhubaneswar, Nov 12 (UNI) In a major step towards strengthening railway security and ensuring the safe transportation of parcels, the East Coast Railway (ECoR) has commissioned modern Parcel Scanner Machines at 10 major parcel offices across its three divisions.
The newly installed scanning facilities are aimed at preventing the movement of hazardous, prohibited and unauthorised articles through the railway network, while making parcel handling operations safer and more secure.
According to ECoR, the machines have been made operational at five locations under the Khurda Road Division, four under the Sambalpur Division and one under the Rayagada Division.
The state-of-the-art machines are designed to screen booked parcels and packages before they are loaded onto trains. They can help detect inflammable and fire-hazardous materials, firecrackers, explosives, unauthorised items and other prohibited or banned articles.
The installation of these advanced scanning systems is expected to significantly strengthen the security framework of railway parcel operations by enabling effective screening of consignments before transportation.
The initiative will also help railway personnel conduct more efficient security checks, minimise the risk of dangerous materials entering the railway system and ensure safer handling and movement of parcels.
Highlighting the importance of the initiative, ECoR said the introduction of modern parcel scanning technology marks a significant step towards strengthening security arrangements and upgrading safety standards in railway commercial operations.
