The performance of the container freight station was continued to be
satisfactory during the financial year 2011-12. However, owing to very
difficult road traffic constraints prevailing in the location of our

station with effect from May 2012. As the company will only continue
warehousing operation, higher revenue could not be anticipated during
the current year.
