In a key reshuffle, the Indian Railways has appointed new General Managers (GMs) for two major zones—Western Railway and South Central Railway.

Vivek Kumar Gupta (IRMS), a seasoned officer of the Indian Railways, has been appointed as the new General Manager of Western Railway. He replaces Ashok Kumar Mishra, who retired on June 30. Prior to this, Gupta was serving as the Managing Director of the National High Speed Rail Corporation Limited (NHSRCL). With a strong track record in various leadership roles, his appointment is expected to bring renewed momentum to the zone.

In another development, Sanjay Kumar Srivastava (IRSE), who was serving as General Manager of CORE (Central Organisation for Railway Electrification), Prayagraj, has been appointed as the General Manager of South Central Railway, headquartered in Secunderabad. His new posting is on a lateral shift basis.
