"On behalf of Railway" is not correct. If it were "On behalf of railway Authority", then it may took as correct one.

I think it is more appropriate using "most of" instead of using "A lot of".
I think on behalf of is generally used to give the idea that something is done because it should be done.
But there should not be delay but it happens.
So we can think it as "part of".
So on part of is more correct.
