Students and passengers who  depart from and arrive at the Hindu College station, near Pattabiram are facing trouble in crossing the railway tracks, since there is no foot over bridge above the mainline.

Hindu College station is located on the stretch from Chennai Central to Arakkonam Suburban Railway Network, close to the college which has around 6,000 students. Everyday the station witnesses the departure and arrival of hundreds of passengers who include officegoers, students  and other general commuters.

All of them are compelled to cross the railway tracks in order to reach the other side of the station, since there is no foot over bridge.

Speaking to City Express, R Chandra Sekaran, a resident of Pattabiram, said, “The foot over bridge that is  seen at the station was constructed in the year 2008. But it connects only the first and the second suburban platforms. There is no foot over bridge that connects the suburban platforms with the mainline.” He added, “However, people do not use the foot over bridge to get to the other side of the suburban platforms. Most of the passengers cross the track to reach the adjacent platforms. Also, the passengers have to cross the mainline to reach the other side of the station. The existing foot over bridge does not have an extension above the mainline.”

Talking about how the lack of the foot over bridge facility has been fatal, Sekaran claimed that the station had witnessed many accidents in the past .

The Zonal Railway Consultive Committee official  said, “The problem has been brought before us in the past. The railway officials have designed it in such a way that the foot over bridge connects only the first and second platforms of slowline.”

“We have written to the officials concerned and  have been raising this issue everytime during the departmental meetings, asking for another foot over bridge in the station that covers the fastline. But till now no action has been taken,” he added.

वाराणसी। एक जुलाई से लागू नए नियम ने रेल यात्रियों की परेशानी बढ़ा दी है। जनरल टिकट लेने के तीन घंटे के भीतर ही वापस करने और किसी वजह से ट्रेन छूट जाने पर टिकट की वापसी न होने के नियम से यात्री हैरान हैं। कैंट स्टेशन पर नियम लागू होने के पहले ही दिन टिकट वापस करने को लेकर यात्रियों और कर्मचारियों में कई बार किचकिच हुई।

कैंट स्टेशन पर सोमवार को यात्री महानगरी और कामायनी एक्सप्रेस के जनरल टिकट वापस करने के लिए काफी परेशान दिखे। घंटों लाइन में खड़े रहने के बाद जब काउंटर पर पहुंचे तो कर्मचारियों ने नए नियम का हवाला देकर टिकट वापस करने से मना कर दिया। इसको लेकर यात्रियों और कर्मचारियों में कई बार कहासुनी हुई। इसके बाद यात्री स्टेशन प्रबंधक के कार्यालय पहुंचे लेकिन वहां भी उनकी समस्या का समाधान नहीं हुआ। कई भीड़ अधिक होने के चलते ट्रेन पर नहीं चढ़ सके। कई ऐसे भी थे जिनके साथी समय पर स्टेशन नहीं पहुंच पाए थे तो कुछ ने एडवांस में दो या तीन दिन पहले टिकट लिया था। स्टेशन प्रबंधक एके पांडेय यात्रियों को रेलवे के नए नियम के बारे में बताकर किसी तरह शांत कराया। उन्होंने बताया कि तीन दिन पहले लिया गया एडवांस टिकट ट्रेन छूटने के 24 घंटे पहले तक ही निरस्त होगा। इसके बाद टिकट वापस नहीं होगा। जबकि अभी तक ट्रेन छूटने के तीन घंटे बाद तक टिकट की वापसी होती थी। वहीं, यात्रा न करने की स्थिति में आरक्षित टिकट एक महीने के अंदर निरस्त कराने की सुविधा थी लेकिन अब इस अवधि को घटाकर 10 दिन कर दिया गया है

Kochi: There is a growing demand for rebuilding the South railway overbridge though the Kochi Metro Rail Ltd has not included widening of the bridge in the list of preparatory works of Kochi metro.

The suggestion to rebuild the overbridge was debated over by the participants of a recent meeting convened by KMRL to discuss the key infrastructure projects to be taken up along with metro works to minimise traffic bottlenecks in the city. Local residents and urban planners demand that the overbridge be widened soon as once the metro rail lines are completed in this area, the bridge can never be reconstructed.

“There is an urgent need to widen the South RoB as traffic flow has been increasing every year. With new roads like Ambedkar Marg connecting Thevara to Panampilly Nagar, traffic has increased over the bridge.

If KMRL is not willing to take up the project, it should be handed over to agencies like Kerala Road Fund Board or Roads and Bridges Development Corporation of Kerala as the corporation may not be able to undertake it,” said Gopakumar, president of the Better Kochi Response Group.

Though there was a proposal to widen the overbridge into four lanes, side by side with the metro work, it didn’t materialise. The corporation had earlier requested KMRL to take up the project. The DMRC had done a soil test to inspect the feasibility of widening the overbridge.

Earlier, KMRL had put forward a proposal to the Railways and the state government saying that that once the viaduct was constructed, no reconstruction would be possible and hence it was the right time to consider rebuilding the RoB along with the metro project.

However, disapproving the demand for widening the overbridge, a civic administrator said that with the opening of other railway overbridges, traffic flow through the South RoB would be diverted through alternate routes. “As widening of bridges and roads is difficult in the city where land is scarce, proper management of traffic and encouraging public transport would be more effective,” he said.
