New Delhi, April 22 : The Indian Railways has decided to display screens at foot-over bridges, platforms, waiting rooms and concourses at 2000 Railway stations across the country for “integrated and comprehensive” information for Rail travellers. As per the official statement, around 65,000 display screens will be installed at 2000 stations, referred as Railway Display Network (RDN). RailTel, a public sector undertaking organisation under the Railways Ministry, will be implementing the project and has now floated a tender for this purpose. “The information to be displaced will include information related to train arrival, departure, train running status, platform, passenger amenities, passengers’ security and safety, emergency messages and messages related to Disaster Management, infotainment and social messages for engaging passengers,” it said. RailTel has set a target to install the display screen in the next two years after the award of contract. “The project will be implemented and managed by RailTel through selected RDN Business Associate (s) over a period of 10 years, which may be extended for another five years on mutually acceptable terms and conditions,” it said. Talking about the project Puneet Chawla, Chairman and Managing Director of RailTel said, “Integrated and comprehensive information related to all aspects of journey is a big passenger amenity for Rail travellers. RDN will meet this requirement in a big way. “The proposed RDN is expected to revolutionise the information to Railway users through the next generation centralised, connected display network at Railway stations,” he added.
