    Guidelines for protection of cables while doing work its vicinity


    1. Cable route marking for all types of cable must be made available block section wise on
    Railnet.
    2. Before allowing the contractor to work near the tracks, the work executing agency (like
    SrDSTE/SrDEN/SrDEE or DyCSTE/DyCEE/DyCE etc.) shall ensure that the permission
    has been granted by the division to the contractor in accordance with the local
    instructions / JPO to work in the vicinity of the cables. Zonal railways shall devise
    suitable mechanism and timelines for the obtaining/granting such permission.
    3. Incase of works being taken up by the State Government, National Highway Authority
    etc., zonal railways shall devise mechanism for shifting the cables or for proper
    protection of cables before granting permission to work.
    4. The engineering control shall keep all the information regarding any works being done
    near the track. S&T and electrical control shall obtain this information from engineering
    control. These controls shallcoordinate among themselves to ensure that no work is done
    in the vicinity of the track without proper permission.
    5. The concerned SE/P.Way/SE/Works/SE/Sig/SE/Tele SE/Electrical (TRD or G) or
    RailTel supervisors supervising the work of the contractor shall ensure that the existing
    emergency sockets are not damaged due to their importance in providing communication
    during accident/emergency.
    6. For all new works, cable shifting should be a mandatory part of DPR and estimate. For
    ongoing works, Zonal Railways may sanction works for cable shifting if necessary
    through contingency/supplementary/revised estimate where provision does not exist.
    However, in case zonal railways decide not to shift cables (due to any reason) then
    protection of cable shall be ensured by the zonal railways during execution of the work.
    7. Penalty to be imposed for damages to cable shall be as under:

    Cable damaged Penalty per location

    8. Penalty should be levied on the contractor when they work without permission or resort
    to careless working without making arrangements for protecting cables and other utilities.
    Based upon the local conditions and practices, zonal railway shall devise its own
    conditions for examining and levying penalty. For cach cable cut, a joint report at the
    level of supervisors should be prepared on the same day and it should become the basis
    for levying penalty and fixing responsibility. Joint note should be forwarded by
    SrDSTE/SrDEE to the executive in-charge of the work. The executive in-charge of the
    work shoud act and decide on the cable cut case within 15 days under information to
    SrDSTE/SrDEE as the case may be. There should be provision of appeal by contractors
    within one month of notice for levying penalty at ADRM level. Decision of ADRM shall
    be final and binding upon both parties.
    9. Railways will not lodge FIR with RPF in cases of works being executed by authorized
    contractors of Railways who have been duly permitted to execute the works.
    10. Zonal Railways shall issue local instructions/JPO for protection of cables while
    undertaking works in the vicinity of railway tracks in line with this guideline. Zonal
    Railways shall also ensure that such instructions become part of their tender document
    within one month of the issue of the local instructions. Suitable action against erring
    officials shallalso be incorporated in these instructions if the same is not adhered to.
