मीरजापुर : स्थानीय रेलवे स्टेशन के दो व तीन नंबर प्लेटफार्म पर शेड निर्माण के लिए नींव खोदकर छोड़ दिया गया है। माहभर से अधिक समय से निर्माण बंद है। इस दौरान चारों तरफ फैले मलबे में फिसलकर लोग गिर रहे हैं। बरसात में स्थिति नारकीय बनी हुई है।
ए श्रेणी के स्टेशन पर यात्रियोंकी सुविधा के लिए दो व तीन नंबर प्लेटफार्म के पूरब तरह शेड निर्माण के लिए रेलवे बोर्ड द्वारा पर्याप्त बजट दिया गया है। मौके पर काम भी शुरू करा दिया गया लेकिन नींव खोदने के बाद आगे का निर्माण बंद करा दिया गया। बरसात हो रही है। यात्रियों को भींगकर ट्रेन पकड़नी पड़ रही है। एक्सप्रेस ट्रेनों में 21 से 24 बोगियां रहती हैं जबकि आधे से अधिक बोगियां खुले रहती हैं। यात्रियों को मुसीबत का सामना करना पड़ रहा है। जनप्रतिनिधियों की मांग पर बजट दिया गया है। कार्य की प्रगति धीमी है। उधर खंड अभियंताओं का कहना है कि बरसात की वजह से काम ठप है। जल्द पूरा कराया जाएगा।

Silchar, July 25:The cost of 201km gauge conversion project between Lumding junction in Nagaon district and Silchar has now ballooned to a whopping Rs 4,255 crore from an estimated Rs 648 crore when this vital infrastructure project got off to a start in 1996. Further delay in its completion is not ruled out.
Quoting from what he claimed to be official documents prepared between September 2010 and July 2013, spokesman for the Assam unit of the BJP Rajdeep Roytoday told reporters here that this cost and time overrun were by no means “unpardonable”.
He attributed the delay in execution of the project, which was earlier slated for completion by 2006, to technical glitches, steep gradient in the hill sections of the track through Dima Hasao district and insurgency there between 2006 and 2009.
Roy wondered as to why such problems were not properly addressed in the past when more such challenging tasks like laying broad gauge track between Udhampur and Baramulla in Kashmir could be carried out smoothly.
He said though the deadline for completion of the project has now been re-fixed for February 2015, possible lack of funds for its implementation could be an impediment.
The BJP leader said though Rs 127crore has been allotted in the current fiscal, only Rs 7 crore could be sanctioned till now indicating a possible funds crunch.
Roy also expressed doubts whether release of the special allocation of Rs 200 crore as assured by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on July 18 could be realised.
Roy made it clear that the new deadline could be difficult to meet considering the fact that since 1996 only 57 per cent of the target could be completed till last month.
He said the slow progress in building tunnels 7 and 10 near Jatinga and Mahur stations in Dima Hasao district by two construction majors was the main reason for the delay. Tunnel number 10 is 3,235 metres long and 1,540 metres have been constructed till June.
This was revealed in an affidavit submitted to the division bench of Gauhati High Court comprising Chief Justice A.K. Goel and Justice A.K. Goswami in May by deputy chief engineer (construction) of NFR, Raj Kumar Das.
The project envisages construction of 20 tunnels on this railway line, but most difficult of these tunnels are numbers 7, 10, 11 and 10(a).
Leak of methane gas while digging now appears to be a stumbling block in wrapping up construction on these lines within the timeframe.

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।

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.
