भोपाल। रेल यात्री यदि एजेंट्स के माध्यम से ई-टिकट बुक करवाएं तो सावधानी बरत कर असुविधा से बचें। रेलवे प्रशासन ने एजेंट्स का प्रमाण-पत्र चेक करने और गड़बड़ होने पर उनकी शिकायत की व्यवस्था भी कर दी है। इसके लिए आईआरसीटीसी की वेबसाइट www.irctc..in पर उसके आफिस, फोटो, पहचान पत्र आदि की जांच की जा सकती है।

रेलवे प्रशासन ने यात्रियों से कहा है कि वे ई-टिकट बनवाते वक्त अपना मोबाइल नंबर जरूर दर्ज करें, जिससे एसएमएस के माध्यम से बुकिंग करते वक्त ही किराए, सर्विस चार्ज आदि की जानकारी मिल जाए। टिकट बनते ही यात्रा संबंधी जानकारी का एसएमएस भी यात्री को मिलता है, जिसका उपयोग वह टिकट के रूप में कर सकता है। इसके बाद प्रिंटेड टिकट रखने की जरूरत यात्री को नहीं पड़ती।

ज्यादा पैसा न दें: यात्रियों को चाहिए कि वे एजेंट को केवल एसएमएस में दिए गए किराए का ही भुगतान करें। यदि वह उससे ज्यादा पैसा मांगे तो उसके खिलाफ शिकायत करें। यदि टिकट का प्रिंट आउट कोई यात्री एजेंट से ले तो उस पर उसका नाम, पता, फोन नंबर आदि छपा हुआ होना चाहिए। यदि ऐसा नहीं है तो एजेंट से उसका कारण पूछें।

यहां करें शिकायत: यदि एजेंट कोई समस्या पैदा करे तो उसकी शिकायत ई-मेल पर करें। इसके अलावा दिल्ली स्थित आईआरसीटीसी के कार्पोरेट आफिस के नंबरों 011-2375962 और 011-39340000 पर भी शिकायत दर्ज कर सकते हैं।

Seoul, Dubai, Chicago, Houston and now, Mumbai. Coaches on the Mumbai Metro network on the Versova-Andheri-Ghatkopar line will be the first in the country to get a Firetide commuter safety system.In other words, if you are riding the Metro, you will be watched; so it’s best to be on your best behaviour.Once the internet protocol-based system is in place, helplines and phone calls in case of emergencies will be a thing of the past. A Metro official said, “The system will document live feeds to keep an eye on real-time happenings inside the train. So, in case of incidents of trouble, like someone harassing women, or a fight, the Metro staff can halt the train and despatch security at once.”A senior official of the Mumbai Metro One Private Limited said, “This will nip all unruly and criminal incidents in the bud; there will be a real-time response to all sorts of crimes. This will be helpful for safety of women. This is the first time that such an advanced system will be placed in any train.”

Mumbai Metro is in the final stages of commissioning. Integration and testing various systems, signalling, communications etc, is in progress.

Explaining the works, a Metro official said the surveillance camera and radio sets inside the pilot’s cabin will send signals to central control room through the fibre optic cables.

“The system will be connected with the central control room which will be continuously monitored by metro officials. A live telecast of the situation inside the train will also enhance control over malicious acts by commuters, such as mishandling metro property, for example, the door while the train is on the move,” he added.

“If required, the feeds of the software can also be made available on police officers’ laptops and networked vehicles, allowing first responders to view an onboard incident as it happens.”

SINDI (RAILWAY): Harried railway passengers can now heave a sigh of relief with trains beginning to roll on the second track damaged by rains last Friday near Sindi in Wardha district. Last six days must have perhaps seen the biggest detention of trains in Indian Railways.

The first train to pass through the newly repaired up line (towards Mumbai) was Gondia-Kolhapur Maharashtra Express at 11.30am n Thursday. Since then, at least 15 more had passed till 5pm through the 360 metres restored tracks damaged due to flooding in Pipra nullah near Sindi Railway. However, both tracks are still not fit for operating loaded freight trains.

The down line (towards Nagpur) was restored after 60 hours on Monday morning. It took over 134 hours to ready the up line due to continuing rains. Till Thursday, a limited number of trains was moving on down line and at least three were cancelled while three operated partially. Besides, eight trains were diverted. For the next few days, trains may continue to run late due to diversions and rescheduling.

By Thursday afternoon, all passenger trains started moving on both lines on the affected patch at speed of 15-20 kmph. Most trains that were diverted via Itarsi, Khandwa and Bhusawal besides Badnera, Amravati and Narkhed passed through Sindi Railway on Thursday. Though both the tracks have been restored, they are tracks still at lower than usual level. Central Railway divisional railway manager (DRM) Brijesh Dixit showed mediamen the enormity of the tast. Senior divisional safety officer (SrDSO) S K Solanki and senior divisional mechanical engineer (SrDME) Rajesh Dwivedi were also present.

"Now that the up line has been set right, we will take a 17-hour block beginning Thursday night to bring the down line to proper level." The railways have not withdrawn earthmoving machines and men from the site, in case there's another emergency. Dixit said around 800-1000 men were still at work in different shifts.

The huge 5.50 to 3.5 metres gap beneath the hanging tracks was filled. It required around 20,000 cubic metre material including boulders, soil and ballast. Around 500 wagons of material was utilized and more of it will be required to level the tracks, said Dixit.

Asked if the danger could not have been anticipated, Dixit said, "It happened out of the blue. Never in the history had the spot given in. There is list of 40 such vulnerable places in Nagpur division where regular monitoring is done. Pipri nullah turned out to be an exception and has now been added to the list."

The disaster put huge financial burden on railways and the overall loss of passenger and freight trains detention, diversion cost besides expenses towards restoration of tracks may be around Rs100 crore. In the last five days, railways refunded Rs85 lakh to passengers towards cancellation of tickets.

COIMBATORE: Railway users here have reiterated their demand for creation of entry-exit point near the second subway to ease congestion in the main entrance.

Coimbatore Railway Users Welfare Association president Jameel Ahmed said that a signature campaign has been planned in August to urge the railway authorities for creation of additional entry-exit point as well as augmentation of facilities that are long pending. "We aim to collect at least one lakh signatures from the rail passengers and to submit it to the railway authorities", he said.

It may be noted that even though the second way is put to use people will continue to use the eastern and western entrances, and so the very purpose of the second subway that is to ease congestion in the entrances will not be solved.

Earlier Coimbatore MP and Railway Struggle Committee convenor P R Natarajan had asked the district collector M Karunagaran to take necessary steps to hand over government land at Thomas Club to the railway authorities so that an additional entry-exit point can be created.

Apart from seeking additional entrance, the signature campaign is planned also with the demand for providing amenties like battery cars, escalators and elevators at key points in the railway station. "Railway authorities have promised it much earlier and the assurances has missed several deadlines", he said and added that ultimately the passengers are affected.

प्रतापगढ़। वन पीआरएल ट्रेन के पार्सल यान से लाखों रुपये का कपड़ा चोरी हो गया। चोरों ने पार्सल यान को काटकर कपड़े चोरी किए और गेट अंदर से बंद कर दिया।
लखनऊ से प्रयागघाट चलने वाली ट्रेन टू पीआरएल कहलाती है। यही ट्रेन जब प्रयागघाट से लखनऊ के लिए चलती है तो वन पीआरएल हो जाती है। गुरुवार को इस ट्रेन पर जिले के दो व्यापारियों ने लखनऊ से लाखों रुपये का कपड़ा भेजा। ट्रेन जब स्टेशन पर पहुंची तो गेट खोलने का प्रयास किया गया लेकिन यह नहीं खुल सका। यह ट्रेन जब प्रयागघाट से शाम को फिर लखनऊ के लिए लौटी तो पार्सल के लोगों ने इसे चेक करना शुरू किया। देखा तो इसके ऊपर से पतरा काटकर चोरों ने कपड़े की सभी गांठें पार कर दीं और अंदर से गेट लाक कर दिया। ट्रेन से माल गायब होने की जानकारी होते ही व्यापारियों के होश उड़ गए। इसमें शहर के संतोष केसरवानी के बोरे से पूरा माल गायब था जबकि नागेश चंद्र मिश्र के बोरे से 75 प्रतिशत माल गायब था। दोनों का मिलाकर लगभग एक लाख पांच हजार रुपये का कपड़ा गायब हुआ है। इसकी सूचना आरपीएफ को दी गई तो वह भी मौके पर पहुंची। जानकारी मिलने पर व्यापार मंडल पदाधिकारी भी मौके पर पहुंचे।
ट्रेन से माल गायब होने की सूचना पर पहुंचे व्यापार मंडल ने कहा कि कि ट्रेनों में इन दिनों चोरी की घटनाएं बढ़ गईं हैं। इसकी तरफ रेलवे का ध्यान नहीं जा रहा है। आए दिन व्यापारियों को हजारों रुपये का नुकसान उठाना पड़ रहा है। कुछ दिन पहले पद्मावत, फिर मुगलसराय पैसेंजर इसके बाद साकेत में भी चोरी हुई थी। इन मामलों में न तो कोई कार्रवाई हो पाती है और न ही इनका सुराग लग पाता है। व्यापारियों ने कहा कि इस मामले डीआरएम से लखनऊ में मिलकर मामले का खुलासा कराने की मांग की जाएगी।
