This commendable achievement reflects the efficient transportation of goods such as FCI rice, sugar, salt, edible oil, fertiliser, cement, coal, automobiles, containers, and various other items during the month. These items were then unloaded in different goods sheds within the railway’s jurisdiction.

During August 2023, the breakdown of unloaded freight rakes in various states is as follows: 680 rakes in Assam (including 332 loaded with essential commodities), 98 in Tripura, 19 in Nagaland, 10 in Manipur, 8 in Arunachal Pradesh, 3 in Mizoram, and 01 in Meghalaya.
