New Delhi: Waiting for a train to arrive will no longer be boring as Railways is equipping India's busiest station with free Wi-Fi connectivity, a first in the country, to ensure value-added amenity for passengers.New Delhi railway station, which handles about 300 trains and five lakh passengers a day, will be the first Wi-Fi enabled station in the country to have such a modern facility like major international airports."A Mumbai-based company has been given the job to make the New Delhi station a Wi-Fi enabled station," a senior Railway Ministry official said, adding "the company was selected through tender."

Wi-Fi is a popular networking technology which uses radio waves to provide wireless high-speed Internet and network connections. Once operational, passengers on all 16 platforms of the station will be able to access Wi-Fi from their laptops of mobile phones, the official said.

The New Delhi station was chosen on a pilot basis to introduce the facility at an estimated cost of Rs 80 lakh.

"The system is expected to be operational in 3/4 months," the official said. The company will install towers at strategic locations to provide the facility, which will be extended to other stations in due course, he said. Railways has already made Howrah Rajdhani trains Wi-Fi enabled. There are also plans to replace information kiosks with tablet computers at New Delhi station.

"We are exploring to mount tablets on walls at certain places in the station for the benefit of passengers. The tablets will be equipped to disseminate information about the train position, expected arrival time and other relevant data required by the passenger," the official said.

अलीगढ़ : स्टेशन पर खानपान का स्तर लगातार गिर रहा है। इस तरह की शिकायतों को गंभीरता से लेते हुए रेलवे अफसरों की टीम ने न सिर्फ स्टॉल पर बल्कि कई वेंडरों के ब्रेड पकोड़ा, पानी एवं चाय आदि के नमूने लिए।
मंडलीय यातायात प्रबंधक राजेंद्र कुमार के निर्देश पर एक विशेष टीम का गठन किया गया। इस टीम में स्टेशन अधीक्षक एके शुक्ला, सीएमआइ संजय शुक्ला के अलावा अन्य रेलवे के अधिकारी मौजूद थे। इन अधिकारियों की टीम ने चाय की दुकान, पानी की बोतल के अलावा ब्रेड पकोड़ा एवं सेंडविच आदि के सात नमूने लिए और जांच के लिए इलाहाबाद मंडल कार्यालय में स्थित प्रयोगशाला में भिजवा दिए हैं। जांच रिपोर्ट आने के बाद पता चल सकेगा कि खाद्य सामग्री स्टेशन पर किस स्तर की बेची जा रही है। बता दें कि स्टेशन पर न सिर्फ खाद्य सामग्री बल्कि ट्रैक से गंदी पानी की खाली बोतल उठाकर उसमें स्टेशन की टोटियों का पानी भरकर मुसाफिरों को धड़ल्ले से बेचा जा रहा है। इस पर रेलवे अफसरों का कोई अंकुश नहीं है।

ARMED ESCORTS FOR TRAINS

The Railway Board has supplied eight specially built bullet-proof bogies to the North-East Frontier Railway in order to carry armed personnel for escorting passenger trains, it is learnt from Railway sources in Gauhati on July 28. These bogies will be attached to passenger trains passing through the hostile Naga-infested regions — Lumbding to Mariani — a distance of about 170 kilometres and Lumding to Maibong, a distance of about 65 kilometres. Each bogie would be able to carry about 25 armed personnel and each passenger train would have two such bogies attached to it.

Workaholics, Internet addicts and those who have time to kill will soon have something to look forward to while waiting at New Delhi railway station as the Indian Railways have announced free Wi-Fi connectivity at the station.

In the next three to four months, one of the country’s busiest stations will be the first one to be a Wi-Fi enabled station, a facility that is so far limited to major international airports.

A free Wi-Fi service, considered a value added amenity, is already available on board the Howrah Rajdhani. The proposal to extend it to the station is part of the Railway Ministry’s efforts to spruce its services at the New Delhi railway station and push it to the “world class” category.

Budgetary allocations for the project were announced in the last Railway Budget. There are proposals to replace the existing information kiosks, presently installed at the station with tablets at designated places. Through the “user-friendly” tablets passengers will get information about the train position, expected arrival time and other relevant details about their journey.

Once operational, passengers on all the 16 platforms will be able to access the internet through Wi-Fi services, which will cost the Ministry about Rs.80 lakh. The station was selected on a pilot basis and once the experiment is successful, other railway stations in the Capital will also be Wi-Fi enabled, said an official.

The process for making the station Wi-Fi enabled has already been started. “Tenders were invited for equipping New Delhi railway station with Wi-Fi, after which a Mumbai-based company has been assigned the job. We expect the work to be completed in three to four months. It would be a free service and we are eagerly waiting for the project to be completed soon,” said a senior official with Northern Railway.

The official went on to say: “New Delhi railway station handles as many as 300 trains and five lakh passengers in a day. So the free Wi-Fi service will certainly add to some of the attractive features which the station has. It would also go a long way in making the station a world class one as it will be the first Wi-Fi enabled station in the country to have such a modern facility like major international airports,” the official added.
