रेवाड़ी/रोहतक. शहर से रेवाड़ी तक की यात्रा करने वालों के लिए अच्छी खबर है। जल्द ही रेवाड़ी के लिए डीजल मल्टीपल यूनिट (डीएमयू) ट्रेन चलाई जाएगी। जुलाई माह से डीएमयू के शुरू होने की उम्मीद है तो कई गाड़ियों के समय में भी फेरबदल होने से भी यात्रियों को लाभ मिलेगा। अधिकारियों का कहना है कि जल्द ही समय सारणी का शेड्यूल जारी हो जाएगा।

 

दैनिक यात्रियों को होगा लाभ

सूत्रों के अनुसार रेवाड़ी के लिए डीएमयू जुलाई से संचालित किया जाना है। यह ट्रेन रेवाड़ी-रोहतक के बीच दिन में दो चक्कर लगाएगी। रोहतक से चलकर डीएमयू सुबह 6.50 बजे रेवाड़ी स्टेशन पर पहुंचेगी तथा 7.10 बजे रोहतक के लिए रवाना होगी। यही गाड़ी शाम के 6.40 बजे ट्रेन वापस रेवाड़ी जाएगी तथा 7.10 बजे रोहतक के लिए रवाना होगी। डीएमयू ट्रेन चलने से यात्रियों को निश्चित रूप से खासा लाभ होगा।

 

इन ट्रेनों के समय में किया जा सकता है बदलाव

 रेवाड़ी से सादुलपुर के रास्ते हिसार को जाने वाली ट्रेन के समय में बदलाव किए जाने के संकेत अधिकारियों ने दिए हैं। यह ट्रेन फिलहाल शाम 7.10 बजे रेवाड़ी से चलती है। इसका समय बदलकर 7.25 किए जा सकता है। वहीं रेवाड़ी से फुलेरा के लिए शाम 7.05 बजे चलने वाली ट्रेन का समय बदलकर 7.20 बजे किए जाने की प्रबल संभावना है।  अधिकारियों के अनुसार यात्री काफी समय से इन ट्रेनों के समय बदले जाने की मांग कर रहे थे। रेवाड़ी-रोहतक ट्रेन के समय में बदलाव के लिए लोग काफी समय से मांग कर रहे हैं। इसलिए इस ट्रेन के समय में बदलाव पर लोगों की खास नजर है। अभी यह ट्रेन सुबह 4.45 पर रेवाड़ी से रोहतक के लिए चलती है।

AC Coach for Kalka-Shimla Toy Train

Within a year of the West Bengal government exiting the metro rail network here, the railway ministry has said it is reluctant to take forward the Rs 4,676-crore east-west metro project, owing to lack of funds.The metro project aims to connect Salt Lake to Howrah.“We are reluctant. The project has been thrust upon the railways by (chief minister) Mamata Banerjee,” Minister of State for Railways Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury told Business Standard.Currently, Indian Railways has a 74 per cent stake in the project. The Union urban development ministry accounts for the remaining stake. In 2008, Kolkata Metro Rail Corporation (KMRC), in charge of executing the project, was floated as a 50:50 joint venture between the urban development ministry and the West Bengal government. However, in 2010, when Mamata Banerjee was the Union railway minister, an in-principle agreement was signed, enabling the railways to acquire majority stake in the project.  After taking over as West Bengal chief minister in 2011, Banerjee pursued the stake-handover case with the Centre, with her party member Dinesh Trivedi and, later, Mukul Roy, at the helm of affairs at the railway ministry.Just months before the Trinamool Congress parted ways with the United Progressive Alliance government at the Centre, Banerjee managed to secure the Cabinet’s nod for the handover of the project to the railways, despite opposition from the urban development ministry. Japanese Bank of International Cooperation, which is financing half the project cost through a loan, had also opposed the move. For the cash-strapped Bengal government, the stake handover came as a respite.“The railways already has too many pending projects. In all cities, it is the state government taking the responsibility for metro projects. Why would it be different in Kolkata? The railways has inherited a huge financial liability with this project,” Chowdhury said.When asked whether the railways was looking for an exit route from the project, he said, “We are discussing the matter with the urban development ministry. Talks are at a preliminary level. We will see what can be done.”  For this financial year, the project has a budgetary allocation of only Rs 100 crore. “Funding is an issue. Anyway, what is the point of a higher allocation if it cannot be used because of the state’s non-cooperation?” Chowdhury asked.The 15-km metro project is also facing land acquisition hurdles, as some who lost their land in the process have moved the Calcutta High Court. Thought the court ruled in favour of handing the land to KMRC, the state has suggested the metro route be realigned.Sources say some contractors have already threatened to pull out. Officially, the project is running two years behind schedule. And, officials say given the hurdles at the management and operational levels, it is almost impossible to meet even the revised deadline of 2015-16.

Thiruvananthapuram: The new railway timetable coming into effect from July 1 would witness the speeding up of over 80 trains running through the Thiruvananthapuram division. The running time will be reduced by five minutes to an hour. The maximum speed limit will be increased from 100 km per hour to 110 km.The new initiative will help the railways increase its line capacity and result in operating more trains through this sector. This is  because the railways could not introduce new trains as the division lacked the capacity for the same. The trains will be speeded up with minimal change in the current timings.Sources said that there would also be an increase in the maximum speed on the Shoranur–Mangalore line  during the same period.Divisional Railway Manager Rajesh Agarwal told Deccan Chronicle that there are also plans to increase the running time of the trains further during the next one year. The infrastructure in the division would be improved to ensure this, Agarwal said.The Thiruvananthapuram railway division operates 80 express and 60 passenger trains daily carrying  2.6 lakh commuters daily.

Hundreds of passengers commuting to Chandigarh via trains in morning faced trouble due to the delay in arrival and departure of trains. The delay was caused due to a damaged overhead wire near Babarpur. Railway officials said all the trains which were plying between 8:45 am to 1:30 pm were delayed due to repair work of the overhead wire.A senior railway official said due to the damage in the overhead wire only single track was used for the plying the trains on the route near Babarpur. This delayed arrival and departure of all the trains till afternoon.Suman Sharma, a resident of Sector 38, who was traveling in the Himalayan Queen which got delayed by 20 minutes, said it has become a routine practice of the railway to delay the arrival and departure of the trains. She was not consoled with the fact that the delay in the train today was due to some technical fault.
