Kumar ne Divisional Managers se har roz in reports ko monitor karne ki jarurat pe zor diya, aur Railway Board bhi randomly do se teen divisions se reports check karega. Unhone chinta express ki ki yeh instruction kaafi divisions ne follow nahi kiya, aur September 10, 2024 ki ek incident ka example diya, jisme chhe divisions se reports maangi gayi thi, lekin sirf teen ne complete data submit kiya tha. Kumar ne ye bhi kaha ki in reports ko har roz monitor karna jaruri hai, chahe koi exception ho ya nahi.
