MYSORE: Two infrastructure projects, which had been pending for long, have made it to the list of priorities of new district minister V Sreenivasa Prasad. Accordingly, four-laning of Mysore-Nanjangud Road and doubling of Mysore-Bangalore railway line will now get attention.While the upgrading a stretch of NH-212, connecting Mysore to Nanjangud, will help both tourists and industrial growth, the double line between the IT City and the tourist hub will improve connectivity.Prasad, who is also revenue minister, on Friday said that the delay in land acquisition in Mandya district has slowed down track-doubling work. A part of land required for laying a new line at Maddur was caught in legal dispute. "We have funds to acquire the land. I'm convening a meeting of Mysore and Mandya DCs to address the issue," Prasad told reporters after inaugurating district minister's office at Public Offices abutting Mysore Palace. The project is being delayed, as it needs shifting of an armory from Tipu Sultan's period at Srirangapatna railway station. "It has also been okayed now," he stated.

South Western Railway, which is building bridges across Cauvery river to lay the tracks, has completed track doubling on Mysore-Naganahalli and Bangalore-Ramanagaram lines. The missing link is delaying completion of the rail project, and the same is subsequently is adding to pressure on Mysore-Bangalore Expressway. While the railway has increased trains between Mysore and Bangalore in the last five years, the extension of better services hinges on the completion of the missing link.

The minister said that he will fix the problem arising out of land acquisition issue. Prasad, who represents Nanjangud, said the work on four-laning of Mysore-Nanjangud stretch will commence in two months. Pointing at the appointment of senior Congress leader from Karnataka Oscar Fernandes as Union minister for transport, road and highways, Prasad said it will help the Congress government put the project back on track. National Highways Authority of India has approved the four-laning work even as there are demands to realign the stretch to facilitate the expansion of workable Mysore airport. Airports Authority of India is seeking to extend the runway that cuts across Mysore-Nanjangud Road.

However, Prasad said the four-laning work will be taken up now, which could delay the expansion of the airport.

VIVEKA SMARAKA ISSUE

The district minister gave clear indications that century-old Kannada school could be handed over to Ramakrishna Mission to build a memorial for Swami Vivekananda. Though he sought to blame BJP for the mess surrounding the one-acre property attached to New Model Training School at Devaraja Mohalla, Prasad indicated that there are problems to take back the property, which is transferred to the religious organization. "I will consult legislators and other elected representatives to save the school from closure," he stated.

East Coast Railway Women’s Welfare Organisation (ECoRWWO) organized an art workshop amongst the kids of Railway employees here recently. Inaugurating the creative art workshop, Ratna Ghosh, president, East Coast Railway Women’s Welfare Organisation, said creative art workshop would help the children identify their inherent qualities. About 92 children of Railway Employees from four to 15 years of age in four groups participated in the workshop.

In what would provide relief to the residents from the traffic woes near Manimajra level crossing, the much- delayed rail underbridge (RUB) proposed for the area would get underway with the design being modified. It is now proposed that the RUB would be narrower than what had been perceived earlier.The proposal for construction of RUB was mooted more than two years back. The project had received the requisite approval from the Centre as well. However, inspections had shown that the site was in close proximity to residential as well as commercial buildings. Concerns were raised over the effect on the foundations of these buildings in case the underbridge was to be constructed.It has now been decided that the underbridge would be narrower than what was proposed earlier. This would ensure that the foundations of the buildings in question are not affected. While the Modern Housing Complex is near the level crossing, there is a market on one side as well.The crossing is a traffic bottleneck. Every time a train crosses, there are traffic jams on either side. The road on one side of the crossing is quite narrow. Once the gates of the crossing open, it takes time for the traffic flow to normalise. Commuters on the stretch have for long been demanding construction of the underbridge.UT Finance Secretary V K Singh says, "The rail underbridge would be narrower on the lines of some of those in Delhi. The design is being finalised and tenders for construction would be floated soon. The approval from the Centre for the project had been received earlier."Another advantage of construction of the underbridge would be that the commuters between Chandigarh and Panchkula would find an alternative road to travel on. At present, the Madhya Marg extension that joins Chandigarh and Panchkula bears a large share of the traffic. It causes congestion on this stretch. The road from Manimajra is not favoured due to the level crossing which proves to be a hurdle.The construction of another rail underbridge is going on at Mauli Jagran level crossing. It is expected to be completed this year. This would also ease out the traffic congestion on the Chandigarh-Panchkula stretch. The Railways had complained about the delay by the administration in widening of road that led to the underbridge. One of the reasons for delay was that shifting of pipelines that lay under the road was not undertaken on time. The RUB at Manimajra had been approved along with this. However, it was delayed due to technical problems.

PUNE: The Government Railway Police (GRP), Pune recently arrested a suspect for allegedly stealing luggage of women travelling in long distance trains. The police have recovered gold ornaments and two cell phones totally worth Rs 1.90 lakh from him. The GRP said the suspect is Sharanappa Pandurang Walher alias Kannadi (19) a resident of Timmapur Chowk, Ambikanagar, Gulbarga, Kanrnataka, currently residing at Pune. The GRP team led by assistant police inspector Mahendra Bagade made the arrest. Bagade said that in the month of March this year, the suspect had stolen a bag of the wife of Shaikh Abdul Nabi of Gulbarga at Pune railway station. Nabi's wife was travelling in Rajkot-Sikandarabad express. "The train had reached Pune railway station around 11.30 pm and left the station after half-an-hour. The suspect had entered into the compartment and had fled with the bag," Bagade said. He said that the superintendent of police (GRP) Pratapsinh Patankar had recently issued orders to launch a special drive to nab the suspects committing thefts in the long distance trains. "We laid a trap and nabbed Walher from a train," Bagade said. During the sustained interrogation he admitted his involvement in the theft in the month of March. "We have recovered gold ornaments, two cell phones totally worth Rs 1.90 lakh from him," Bagade added. The investigating team comprised police constables Sanjay Sonavane, Amardip Salunke, Santosh Chandane, Rupesh Pawar and Dattatreya More.

The green signal has been shown for the launch of the passenger service on the newly laid Broad Gauge line between Manamadurai and Virudhunagar railway stations.Commissioner of Railway Safety, Sathish Kumar Mittal, who inspected the track on a motor trolley here on Thursday returned to the railway junction in the “Inspection Special” comprising an engine and three coaches on Friday. He told reporters that he was satisfied with the inspection.

प्रतापगढ़। सेना भर्ती में शामिल होने के लिए ट्रेन से स्टेशन तक आने के लिए अभ्यर्थियों को परेशान नहीं होना पड़ेगा। हर तरफ से आने वाली पैसेंजर ट्रेनों में बोगियां बढ़ाई जाएंगी। ट्रेनों में ज्यादा रैक जोड़ने के लिए स्टेशन अधीक्षक ने डीआरएम को पत्र लिखा है।
जिले में दो जुलाई से सात जुलाई तक सेना में भर्ती के लिए कैंप लगने जा रहा है। इस दौरान जिले में 40 हजार अभ्यर्थियों के आने का अंदाजा है। यात्रा के दौरान अभ्यर्थी सीट न मिलने पर खूब हंगामा करते हैं। कहीं-कहीं पत्थरबाजी भी हो जाती है। इन सारी समस्याओं को देखते हुए जिला प्रशासन ने रेल प्रशासन को अवगत कराया है। स्टेशन अधीक्षक केएन शर्मा ने डीआरएम को ट्रेनों में अलग से रैक लगवाने के लिए पत्र लिखा है। उन्होंने कहा है कि भारी भीड़ होने के चलते अभ्यर्थी ट्रेन के दरवाजों से लटकने के साथ ही आरक्षित सीटों वाले यात्रियों को भी परेशान करते हैं। यही नहीं सीट न मिलने पर रेल संपत्ति को नुकसान पहुंचाते हैं। ऐसे में ट्रेनों में रैक बढ़ाया जाना आवश्यक है।
