Byculla(Central Railway), Howrah(Eastern Railway), Shakurbasti, Delhi(Northern Railway), Royapuram,  Chennai (Southern Railway) and Secunderabad (South Central Railway), up to 30th June, 2020, on the persistent demand of AIRF.

Reportedly, a committee is being formed to review the issue. As there is no expert from printing in the said committee, it would be highly appreciated if Shri Kannan, Manager(Printing and Stationery), Printing Press, Secunderabad(South Central Railway), is also involved in the committee, so as to discuss the minutes and intricacies of printing technology and printing process in this committee.
