GUWAHATI: After the Centre gave the state government the go-ahead to conduct pre-feasibility study and prepare a detailed project report (DPR) for metro rail project in Guwahati, Guwahati Metropolitan Development Authority (GMDA) is awaiting the state government’s green signal to expedite the process.

A senior official of Guwahati Development Department (GDD) said, “The urban development ministry has asked the GMDA to prepare the DPR for the metro rail project in Guwahati. After receiving the state government’s nod, the GMDA will float tenders inviting firms to conduct the study and prepare the DPR,” the official said.

Recently, chief minister Tarun Gogoi in his budget speech has earmarked Rs 1,800 crore for the metro rail project in Guwahati. The pre-feasibility study for the project is vital as the city’s wetlands and hills make the job of GMDA officials difficult to decide what would be the metro’s route.

The Centre has accepted the state government’s Rs 14,000-crore proposal for a metro rail project in Guwahati and has sanctioned Rs 25 crore for carrying out the feasibility study.

Guwahati metropolitan region spreads over an area of 2,205sqkm with a population of more than 2.4 million people and a floating population of about three lakh, said a concept paper prepared by the GMDA on metro rail project. Slow vehicular movement on congested city roads has made it an imperative to construct the metro rail, a GMDA official said. “The average speed on Guwahati roads is less than 20kmph during peak hours, with an average speed of 15kmph in the Central Business District area,” the concept paper said.

The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) is preparing a detailed project report for the IFFCO Chowk-Dwarka border Metro extension project.

The DMRC’s intervention is supposed to break the logjam over this ambitious project — it is expected to address the commutation issues of thousands of residents of Gurgaon and its adjoining areas — which has been caught in red tape for quite some time now.

It is learnt that while the Haryana government is entrusted with constructing this project, the Delhi government will build the remaining portion to link the line with Dwarka Sector 21 Metro station.

Despite several meetings between officials of both the governments and the DMRC in the past two years, a consensus could not be reached on how the Metro line from Dwarka Sector 21 was to be extended to Gurgaon.

Referring to its latest meeting, a senior DMRC official told, “Both the governments will pay money to each other for the trains entering their respective domains.”

But the official said that this was not the final detailed project report (DPR).

“This is only an option the DMRC is preparing for both the governments. The two governments would examine the pros and cons of the DPR,” said the official, adding that the DMRC will submit the DPR within a month.

The DMRC, in the first DPR it submitted to the Haryana government in February 2012, had made a build-operate-transfer (BOT) provision to invite Reliance Infrastructure to construct the 12-km Metro extension line between Dwarka Sector 21 and Iffco Chowk in Gurgaon.

“But the Airport Expressway Line that was being operated by Reliance got scrapped and the DMRC had to look for a fresh DPR,” said the official.

He said, “The first phase from Mansarovar to Chandpol and then to Badi Chauper involved an investment of Rs 3,139 crore of which Rs 630 crore had recently been sanctioned by the Centre, around Rs 900 crore were being raised by loans/financing and about Rs 1,500 were being incurred by the state government.”

 

“The next phase of the project from Sitapura-Sanganer to Ajmeri Gate would also been taken up in soon,” Gehlot said further.

 

The Chief Minister accompanied by Mr Dhariwal, Chief Secretary CK Mathew, Additional Chief Secretary(Urban Development) G S Sandhu, Jaipur Metro CMD NC Goyal, JDA Commissioner Abhay Kumar and Jaipur Collector T Ravikant visited the project sites at the Mansarovar Metro station, and Chandpol station on Sunday evening.

GURGAON: Hawkers selling bottled mineral water at Gurgaon railway station are doing brisk business since almost none of the water taps on the platforms is functioning. The situation is so bad that regular visitors to the station wonder if this lack of free drinking water on the platforms is a ploy to augment the sale of bottles water.

When TOI visited the station on Saturday, all the water taps were dry. Passengers were running from one tap to another and were not getting water anywhere.

"This is not something new. The station has been facing water scarcity for the last several days. There is a big overhead tank at the vicinity of the station where water is supplied by the Haryana Urban Development Authority. When water is being supplied to the railway quarters, why it is not coming to the station?" said a GRP employee at the station.

Besides drinking water, supply is also missing at the washrooms. "We are waiting outside the waiting room because of the stink inside. I am waiting for the train to Bhuj in Rajasthan for the last two hours. There is no water, the waiting room stinks and we have stray dogs for company," said Anand Rana, a passenger.

If it rains, passengers cannot even wait in the platform as water sips though the broken roofs of the station and drench the platforms.

Neeraj Sharma, CPRO, Northern Railways, said, "We do not know the exact reason why there is no drinking water in the platforms. We will take the matter with DMR of the northern railways."

BHOPAL: Railway traffic in the state continued to remain affected on Sunday after portion of 30-meter long support base of up railway tracks between Magardoh and Barbatpur stations in Betul district was washed away due to the heavy rains on Friday.

Delhi-bound trains coming from the South continued to run late for one to seven hours. The trains that were affected include GT Express, Patalkot Express, Gondwana Express, Dakshin Express, and Andaman Express.

Central railway officials maintained that since the Machna river was flowing above the danger mark, the repair of the track was being impeded.

Officials said that the track would be restored by Monday evening.
