MORADABAD – Strengthening the administrative core of the Northern Railway (NR), Shri Prem Shankar Jha has been appointed as the Additional Divisional Railway Manager (ADRM) of the Moradabad (MB) Division.

The official order, confirmed on February 4, 2026, states that Jha—a senior officer of the Indian Railway Stores Service (IRSS)—will remain within the Northern Railway zone to assume his new responsibilities.

A Multidimensional Administrator

Jha transitions to this role with a reputation for being more than just a technical officer. His background combines logistics expertise with significant experience in urban reform and public policy.

Focus Areas for Moradabad

In his new capacity, Jha is expected to leverage his expertise in revenue optimization and land management to enhance divisional administration. His immediate priorities will likely include:

• Station Modernization: Overseeing the redevelopment of stations under the Amrit Bharat scheme.
