PUNE: The Pune-Daund railway electrification project is set to be completed by September, 2014.So far, more than 50 per cent of the project has been completed."Electrification of this rail route will boost travel from Lonavla to Daund, making it more convenient for passengers," stated Railway officials.The electrification project began in January and is set to cost a total of Rs 167 crore. Officials stated that work from Daund and Pune side began simultaneously.“For electrification, a foundation for the poles is necessary. Building this foundation takes a lot of time,” stated railway officials.The railway officials added that around 70 per cent of this work is complete. After the foundation is laid, the poles need to be erected, which will then be connected by power transformers.“After this work is completed, the local running from Lonavla to Pune will be able to travel up to Daund,” stated the officials.The local which comes to Pune from Lonavla can travel ahead on diesel, but this costs more. After the electrification work on Pune-Daund route is complete, it will benefit the regular movement of trains from Pune, making it more cost efficient.
Railway officials have stated that a total of 150 trains operate from Pune station on a daily basis and around one and a half lakh people travel daily from the station.
PROJECT TO BOOST TRAVEL
"Electrification of this rail route will boost travel from Lonavla to Daund, making it more convenient for passengers," stated Railway officials. The project began in January and is set to cost Rs 167 crore.

Manish Tewari writes to Rail minister for completion of foot-bridge at Ludhiana railway station
LUDHIANA: The Union Minister for Information and Broadcasting Mr.Manish Tiwari has written to the Railway Minister Mr.Malikarjun Kharge seeking his personal intervention about the completion of the foot-bridge at the Ludhiana railway station.

In his letter Tewari wrote to Kharge that the work had been started on the foot-bridge at his initiative a few years ago. However, midway the railways stopped the work for unexplained reasons.

Seeking enquiry into the abandoning of work on the foot-bridge, he said, “the matter may kindly be got enquired as why the foot over bride had to be abandoned and how much money was spent on it before being abandoned”. He asked as why was the project cancelled and whether any penalty has been fixed and what action had been taken in this regard.

Emphasizing the need for early completion of the foot-bridge, Tewari pointed out, “Ludhiana is one of the important cities in Punjab with a lot of railway traffic”. The new foot-bridge is urgently needed as the existing one is quite narrow, he added.

The work of the foot over-bridge has been hanging fire for a past long time and this bridge could provide a lot of relief to the residents who have to manage through the narrow bridge that exists presently.

In a clear indication that the second metro line of Charkop–Bandra – Mankhurd will not take off in the near future, the plot allotted for it has been marked for the third line of Colaba–Bandra–SEEPZ. An Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) official, requesting anonymity, said, “The plot at Charkop owned by Central Public Works Department was to be used for the second metro line, but now we plan to mark it for use as a casting yard for the underground metro rail.”

The 27-acre plot was to be the casting yard for Charkop–Bandra–Mankhurd line. The MMRDA also plans to start construction of the first underground metro from both the ends of the 32km corridor, simultaneously, thereby saving construction time. “The work will commence at Colaba, Charkop, Aarey (for car depot) and SEEPZ,” said the official.Learning from the experience of the first metro corridor (Versova–Andheri–Ghatkopar), officials want more casting yards. For the first route, only one casting yard at Wadala was allotted. Now plans are afoot to have at least four to five of them so that pre-cast segments can be transported to stations along the 32km long route. In June, the development authority received the approval of the union cabinet on the funding of the Rs24,500 crore project. Thereafter, it started

working towards calling for bids. Work on the project is scheduled to begin from early 2014 and will be completed only by March 2019.

Seventy per cent of children at Jaipur Railway Station did not have any access to police officials they could trust for protection. In fact, the Railway Police Force was implicated in numerous types of abuse and maltreatment of children including physical abuse, sexual abuse of girls and boys, incarcerating children on false accusations and exploitation for drugs and money.This was revealed in a study by Harvard School of Public Health in collaboration with the Public Health Foundation of India and FXB India Suraksha. The comprehensive study — developed on the SAFE Child Protection model developed by Theresa Betancourt, director of the Research Programme on Children and Global Adversity at Harvard University —was conducted on 49 children between the ages of 8-17 years, living and working on railway station.While trying to understand the safety conditions of these children, the study also revealed that the older children bullied, physically abused and sexually abused the younger children; girls who were orphans or without any caretakers were especially vulnerable.More than three-fourths of the children admitted to using drugs on a regular basis. Children as young as eight were severely addicted and spent most of their days high on whitener solutions. Two out of five children did not have access to health care services.Dr Aruna Bhattacharya of Indian Institute of Public Health said, “The thrust behind the study at Jaipur is to give every child a better future for their fullest physical, psychological, social, cognitive and cultural development.”
