Singh also addressed the need for better signage at railway stations, improved train operations, and better communication of train schedules. He highlighted the importance of smooth telecom services and instructed the Transport Department to arrange extra buses, especially to Ayodhya.

Regarding safety, Singh directed that sturdy iron railings be installed on pontoon bridges and additional signage be put up.
