Study Notes
Management of Railway Land
- Legal ownership of railway land: Section Engineers (Works/P.Way) are responsible for maintaining a land record, ensuring the boundaries are clear, and preventing encroachments.
- Encroachments: If encroachments cannot be removed by those responsible (Station Master, Chief Goods Clerk, etc.), the case must be escalated to higher authorities: Assistant Engineer / Divisional Engineer / Divisional Commercial Manager / Senior Divisional Engineer / Senior Divisional Commercial Manager.
- Land Boundary Verification Register: A register must be maintained to record the inspection and verification of railway land boundaries between stations and at unimportant stations.
- Squatter's Rights: Prompt action must be taken to prevent anyone from gaining squatter's rights on railway property.
- Public Right of Way: To assert ownership rights, railway land should be closed once a year for 24 hours to prevent public claims of right of way.
- Unauthorised Extensions and Constructions: Senior Supervisors should report unauthorised extensions or construction of new structures to the Assistant Engineer.
- Religious Structures: Licensing of land for religious structures is banned.
- Safety Distances for Underground Storage Tanks: No safety distances are required for underground storage tanks.
- Licensing for Pipelines, Sewer Lines, etc.: G.M. with FA&CAO's concurrence can approve licensing for pipelines, sewer lines, etc. for State Government and local bodies. Railway Board approval is required for other agencies.
- Construction near Railway Boundaries: The Railway Administration has a prior right of acquisition and utilization of land adjacent to railway boundaries. The revenue authorities or local governments must provide information when assigning lands for specific purposes.
- Open Space Requirements: The Railway Administration must be informed of the extent of open space required outside railway boundaries for government owned and privately owned lands. State Governments should issue orders and circulars regarding these requirements.
- Notification of Construction near Station Yards: Section Engineer (P.Way/Works) must notify the Divisional Engineer and Assistant Engineer of any construction near a station yard by telegram, including copies to the local authority.
Land Records
- Register Maintenance: Every Section Engineer (Works/P.Way) should maintain a land record. This record needs to be kept up-to-date.
- Inspections: The register should be checked annually by AEN/DEN/Sr.DEN.
- Certified Plans: Copies of certified land plans showing complete dimensions should be kept by Assistant Engineers and Section Engineers.
- Higher Officer Inspections: During important inspections, the land records register should be kept with the AEN.
