Dharam Veer Meena has officially assumed the role of General Manager of Central Railway, effective from September 1, 2024. He succeeds Ram Karan Yadav, who retired on August 31, 2024. Meena is an officer in the Indian Railways Service of Signal Engineers (IRSSE) from the 1988 exam batch. He previously worked as Central Railway`s Principal Chief Signal & Telecommunication Engineer (PCSTE), the railways said. 

Meena`s role was crucial in constructing the KAVACH safety system over a 548-kilometre stretch from Mathura Junction to Nagda Junction while serving as PCSTE of the West Central Railway (WCR). This project comprised the installation of Electronic Interlockings (EI) as well as other substantial signalling work, all of which were accomplished in record time. His leadership in this field led to his nomination as the head of the `KAVACH Working Group` by the Minister of Railways, to accelerate the adoption of KAVACH across Indian Railways.
