The ongoing renovation work at the Chandigarh railway station will be completed by the end of this year in a phased manner. All the proposals mooted in the last budget like installation of escalators, changing the facade of the station and additional waiting rooms are expected to be completed by December. The work is progressing at a slow pace over the past few months. The work for installation of escalators and extension of the foot overbridge that is currently going on at the station is likely to be completed by December. Once completed, the escalator with footbridge that is being extended towards the entrance of the station will ensure that passengers going to other platforms need not cross the platform 1 to board trains.

At present, work on installation of escalators and extension of the foot overbridge is on. Two escalators are to be installed at the station. Construction work started a few months back but reportedly slowed down after the former railway minister Pawan Bansal's resignation following the rail bribery scam.

The escalators arrived at the station a few months ago and are awaiting installation. The foot overbridge that is under construction will be extended on either side of the station. It would reduce the pressure on other platforms as the passengers who arrive at platforms other than 1 or 5 can exit without crossing it.

With the work to install false ceiling at the platforms being under way, passengers will soon get a hassle-free sitting area. Earlier, passengers had to face the problem of bird droppings with a large number of birds, especially pigeons present at the platform, who made the roof over the shelter their home.

When asked about the reasons for the delay in the completion of the projects, Divisional Railway Manager, Ambala Division, P K Sanghi said, "This year monsoon came earlier than expected. So the construction work got disrupted. We have paced up the work. The false ceiling of the platform will be completed in a month and other projects will be also completed by December."

He added, "We have recently installed electronic display chart for the convenience of passengers. We are planning to introduce more such facilities in future."

The moustaches were unmistakable, so was the baritone. Not to mention the cheeky — not sheepish — smile that is louder than a thousand words when you are somewhere you are not supposed to be but are assured that no harm will come to you.
All of which looked business as usual yesterday in the ladies’ compartment of the Delhi-Howrah Janata Express, the same train in which a man terrorised a TCS employee so much on Sunday that she either leaped or fell from the moving train.
At Asansol station yesterday, many male passengers were boarding in ladies’ compartment of Janata Express (13040 Down), which rolled into 12.52pm at platform 5, a stone’s throw from the Government Railway Police post.
At least 20 male passengers were already occupying the seats. Another four or five male passengers jostled with one another to board the compartment — in full view of a GRP patrol.
Other than the word “LADIES” stencilled on the door, there was little to suggest that the compartment is reserved for a particular group. The men outnumbered the five women and two minor boys.
Two youths were sprawled on the seats and a third was sitting, all busy chatting. Asked whey they had boarded the ladies’ compartment, one of them retorted: “What is wrong in it?”
Then he explained the reason. “We are going to see a relative admitted to a hospital in Calcutta. This compartment is almost empty and we found a good place to sit as well as lie down. We are not disturbing anybody. What is your problem? Is any lady passenger not getting a seat?”
Another man, Sambhu Mahato, a labourer, asked: “Is it (the bogie) only meant for ladies?”
He said he “did not know that because I found so many men inside when I boarded this train at Jhajha (in Jharkhand). All along the way no one told me so and neither did anyone stop me from entering the compartment or tell me to get off.”
The men seemed to be unaware that travel by male adults in a ladies’ compartment under any circumstance is a punishable offence and can be fined between Rs 500 and Rs 1,000.
Some lady passengers said male passengers are a regular fixture. “We choose the ladies’ compartment when we are travelling alone because it is supposed to be free of male passengers and safe for us. But inreality, it is not so. At every station, male passengers are boarding or getting off and there is no guard to stop them. We don’t protest forfear of harassment,” said a woman going to Calcutta where her husband works.
Asked whether she was aware of Sunday’s incident, she said: “The law enforcers have not learnt a lesson from that day. Male passengers are sitting freely in the ladies’ coach and the GRP personnel patrolling on the platform turning a blind eye. Whatwill happen to us?”
Seconds before the train left the station, it was proved how easily the problem can be tackled. Asked by this correspondent why they were not doing anything, a GRP team entered the bogie and several male passengers got off ina hurry.
Jayanta Dutta, inspector-in-charge,GRP, Asansol, directed a couple of constables to go to the ladies’ compartment to check if there were men inside. “I didn’t know about this,” Dutta said. “I’ll have this checked.”
As soon as the GRP constables entered the compartment, the youths lying sprawled on their seats, who had earlier refused to disclose their names, quickly got off through another door.
“See, these people know that they are violating the rules. That is why they got off,” a constable said.
Following the youths’ cue, several other male passengers also quickly slipped out.
But about four or five men refused to budge. The GRP constables rounded them up and hustled them to the GRP office, apparently to fine them.
But as the train began to slowly pull out, fruitseller Baburam from Jharkhand, who was accompanying his wife and two children and who had got off when the GRP constables had come for inspection, quickly jumped on to the moving train.
“We will see what happens in the next station,” Baburam said.
Junior railway minister, Adhir Chowdhury said the GRP was tasked with ensuring passenger safety in trains. “The force is under the control of state government. We have repeatedly told the state government to ensure that GRP step up vigil and prevent male intruders from entering ladies bogie,” Chowdhury toldThe Telegraph.
Milan Kanto Das superintendent of railway police, Howrah, said the force was now running short of manpower because of the panchayat elections.
“We frequently check the ladies’ compartments and fine the offenders. It is not mandatory to deploy guard in ladies’ compartment in daytime. We provide armed guard in some trains running at night,” he said.
