Guntur (AP): Anti-Telangana activists on Sunday held protests on railway tracks here delaying at least two long-distance trains, police said.

Seshadri Express and Janmabhumi Express were delayed for at least two hours due to the agitation which was part of the ongoing protests in Seemandhra region against Centre's decision to carve out separate Telangana out of Andhra Pradesh.

Interestingly, Andhra Pradesh DGP V Dinesh Reddy on Thursday warned Samaikyandhra agitators of stringent action if they went ahead with their proposed rail roko agitation in coastal Andhra and Rayalaseema regions.

The agitators squatted on the railway track and raised slogans demanding resignations of public representatives and ministers hailing from Seemandhra regions to bring pressure on Congress government at Centre to rescind its decision on creation of Telangana.

They relented only after passengers from the held up trains requested them.

Former Telugu Desam Party (TDP) leader Dr Umareddi Venkateswarlu, who recently joined YSR Congress, alleged that Congress president Sonia Gandhi allowed bifurcation of state with an ulterior motive to consolidate Congress base in the separate state.

He was speaking at YSR Congress satyagraha camp here.

Kangra (Himachal Pradesh) Aug 11 (IANS) Traffic on the Pathankot-Jogindernagar narrow rail gauge line in Himachal Pradesh will remain off the tracks for at least 10 days due to landslides along the track, a railway official said Sunday. "Traffic was suspended Friday as heavy rain in region had damaged the track at a number of points between Guler and Kangra towns," assistant divisional engineer (Northern Railways) M.K. Goel told IANS. He said the damage to the tracks was greater near Kangra. The 165-km-long rail track from Pathankot in Punjab to Jogindernagar in Mandi district of Himachal Pradesh was once proposed to be declared a UNESCO heritage site. Railway officials say trains have been playing normally between Pathankot and Guler in Kangra district; beyond Guler, traffic has been halted for repair work. In March last year the rail traffic on this section was restored after seven months of closure. At that time, the 84-year-old railway bridge on the Chakki rivulet had been damaged in flashfloods. The bridge, initially constructed in 1928 when the Sanan hydel project in Jogindernagar was set up, is the only bridge connecting Pathankot and the picturesque Kangra Valley. The British had laid the Pathankot-Jogindernagar line in 1932, linking the prominent religious towns of Kangra and Mandi districts of the hill state. Each year, a large number of tourists ride trains on the line to take in the scenic beauty of the Himalayas

अगर आप ट्रेन में सफर करते हैं और बिना पैसे खर्च किए रेल के डिब्बे में ही कई सुविधाएं फ्री में पाना चाहते हैं तो आपके लिए रेलवे बड़ी खुशखबरी लेकर आया है। इस खुशखबरी से आपको मुफ्त में एक खास सुविधा मिल सकेगी। एक ऐसी सुविधा जिसके लिए आप अब तक पैसे चुकाते थे और जिसके बिना ट्रेन में सफर करना आपके लिए मुश्किल होता।
भारतीय रेल ने यात्रियों के लिए बुनियादी सुविधाओं में इजाफा करने के अपने प्रयास के तहत यात्री डिब्बों में जल्द ही वाटर प्यूरीफायर लगाने का फैसला किया है, ताकि लोगों को सफर के दौरान शुद्ध पानी मिल सके।
रेल मंत्रालय के एक वरिष्ठ अधिकारी ने कहा, वाटर प्यूरीफायर की सुविधा वाले डिब्बे जालंधर में जगाधरी रेल कार्यशाला में तैयार किए जा रहे हैं और जल्द ही ये लंबी दूरी की एक्सप्रेस ट्रेनों में लगाए जाएंगे।
उन्होंने कहा, रेलगाड़ियों में पानी की आपूर्ति स्टेशनों से की जाती है और कई इलाकों में पानी में लौह तत्व की अशुद्धता के कारण पानी की गुणवत्ता प्रभावित होती है।
मौजूदा समय में सिर्फ लक्जरी रेलगाड़ियों में वाटर प्यूरीफायर की सुविधा उपलब्ध है। राजधानी और शताब्दी की पैंट्री में पहले से ही वाटर प्यूरीफायर लगा हुआ है।
अधिकारी ने कहा, हमारा मकसद रेलगाड़ियों में स्वच्छ पानी उपलब्ध कराना है और हम एलएचबी डिब्बे में इस सुविधा की शुरुआत कर रहे हैं और बाद में अन्य डिब्बों में भी यह सुविधा उपलब्ध कराई जाएगी।
