Believe it or not, as per the insiders, locals and rail enthusiasts, stringent control on corruption, misconduct and indiscipline was exercised over one and all in Waltair Railway division during the period of 2021-23. Anup Kumar Satpathy (IRTS), who was on the Driver's seat as DRM at Visakhapatnam cracked down on corruption heavily promulgating a Zero Tolerance of Corruption policy. Dozens of staff and a few officers were transferred and a few dozen rogues removed from service during his tenure. The same Division and its head earned wide acclaim for all the good reasons and adjudged as one of the best administered as they received 14 out of the 21 efficiency Shields of ECoR in 2022. The DRM was then hailed as the most dynamic and visionary leader and his bold letters and brave initiatives became hot topics for admiration all over the country.  Efficient, transparent and customer centric management of the Division earned unprecedented levels of revenue as 150 km doubling of lines; work on the re-development of Visakhapatnam railway station with around 600 crores; development of Amrit Bharat stations etc were taken up in right earnest. Not a case of accident involving any death or injury to passengers was also recorded thanks to the Zero-Tolerance-of -Corruption policy enforced by Satpathy. All round development and progress was achieved with the goodwill of officers, staff and rail users through  promotion of sports, culture, staff welfare and passenger satisfaction. The local Press and social media are still nostalgic about that most romantic period just a few months back! The methods, ways and behaviour of his successor Saurabh Prasad were retrograde and condemnable indeed ! This man is being criticized by the staff, officers and locals of Wailter as thoroughly  corrupt,  useless, mean and selfish.
