The CPRO said any such service provider having loading, unloading, transportation, warehousing, labour or aggregator logistics in the vicinity of any goods terminal can register themselves by approaching railway authorities with an application and required details.
“Railway authority upon verification of paper as well as physical verification will allow registration of the logistic service provider against one or many goods terminals,” he said.
Chanda said once registration process is over, the details of the logistic service providers will be available for selecting to all freight customer or railway users as well as to all public through the IR RAILSUGAM mobile app.
