All complaints will then be analysed by the system and various types of management reports will be generated.

Indian Railways’ top management will use these reports to continuously monitor the pace of grievance redressal and assess the performance of field units, trains and stations on various parameters, including cleanliness, catering and amenities.

The system is also designed to help recognise weak or deficient areas and laggard trains and stations in a bid to undertake focused corrective actions.
