the trains like T.NO 12621, 12615, 12669, 12656, 12601, 12685 coach

positioning are Power car-2GS-AC coach-SL-GS.

In this connection Ac attendant OBC employees are experience hardship

to attend abnormalities in power car (EOG) and for checking in regular

intervals also they have to get down on next station to attend the abnormalities

again back to Ac coach until they wait for next station, because in-between

General Coaches attached in few long journey trains. Hence it is serious safety

issue for the employees in onlineduty to attend the abnormalities in power car

also entrainand detrain is an unsafe act or unsafe practice.
