MANGALORE: Dakshina Kannada MP Nalin Kumar Kateel has requested the general manager of Hubli based South Western Railway (SWR) to restrict movement of goods train movement during night - from 6pm up to next morning 6am - between Sakleshpur and Subrahmanya Road. In a letter to the official, the MP said such a step is prudent in view of monsoon season which is severe in coastal Karnataka and where landslips along the Shirady Ghat are common.

The MP said landslips and cancellation of passenger trains causes hardships to people who have booked train seats well in advance. Observing that during the past decade, passenger trains have been held up in the Ghat section, Nalin urged SWR not to run goods train in the night, and also ensure proper track beat is taken up in the late evening as well as early morning and thereby ensure smooth running of the passenger trains during monsoon.

Railway Passengers (Cancellation of ticket and Refund of fare) Rules, 1998 have not been substantially revised in the last 15 years during which period a large number of changes have taken place in the ticketing system of Indian Railways.  Firstly, Computerised Passenger Reservation System (PRS) as well as Computerised Unreserved Ticketing System (UTS) have proliferated. Reservation through internet has also been introduced through which 45% of the total reserved tickets are issued. Integrated Train Enquiry System -- 139 is functional through which ticket status can be obtained through SMS. The above developments warranted that the refund rules be revised comprehensively.

Guwahati: The Railway Ministry has revised and amended Refund Rules in a comprehensive manner and notified them to come into force from July 1, said a Northeast Frontier Railway release has said.
The amendments are aimed at simplification, efficiency in processing and reduction of bogus refund claims, N-F Railway Chief Public Relations Officer S Hajong said in a press release here.

प्रतापगढ़। दिल्ली जाने के लिए स्टेशन से पद्मावत ट्रेन पकड़ना जंग जीतने जैसा है। ट्रेन जब वाशिंग लाइन से प्लेटफार्म पर आती है तो शुरू हो जाती है। इसमें सवार होने के लिए रस्साकशी। हर दिन शाम को पौने पांच बजे कुछ ऐसा ही देखने को मिलता है। गर्मियों की छुट्टियां खत्म होने के कारण दिल्ली व मुंबई जाने वाली ट्रेनों में अक्सर ऐसा नजारा देखने का मिलता है। स्टेशन पर हर दिन पद्मावत ट्रेन दिल्ली के लिए जाती है। महिलाएं और बच्चे तो सवार होने के लिए हिम्मत ही नहीं जुटा पाते। अगर किसी पुरुष ने अंदर घुसकर सीट कब्जा भी कर ली तो अन्य लोग मारपीट शुरू कर देते हैं। कुछ लोग तो खिड़कियों के रास्ते ही अंदर घुसने का प्रयास करते हैं। इस दौरान होने वाली मारपीट के साथ धक्कामुक्की को देखने वाला कोई नहीं होता है। अनारक्षित डिब्बों के पास कोई सिपाही नहीं दिखाई देता है। इतनी भीड़ के बावजूद स्टेशन प्रबंधन इस पर ध्यान नहीं दे रहा है।
ट्रेन आने पर यात्रियों को पानी के लिए प्लेटफार्म पर परेशानी का सामना करना पड़ता है। दो नंबर प्लेटफार्म की कुछ टंकियों की टोटियां न चलने से यात्रियों को पानी के लिए काफी पीछे जाना पड़ता है। कम समय रुकने वाली ट्रेनों के आने पर पानी के उतरे यात्रियों को दौड़कर ट्रेन पकड़नी पड़ती है।

Imphal, June 26 2013: A little over a year after the first trial engine run was successfully conducted on the Jiri-Tupul rail line on March 22, 2012, digging of the first tunnel along the this railway track under NF Railway at Awang Khun in Tamenglong district has been completed today.

The 460 metre long Tunnel No 19 which was completed today is among the 34 tunnels to be dug along the Jiri-Tupul rail line.

The tunnel was dug by a Hyderabad based private construction company, Sushi Infra Pvt Ltd.

Speaking to reporters who went there today, an official of the construction company engaged in the tunnel construction said that a machine, Rocket Boomer, weighing 37 MT imported from Sweden was deployed in digging the tunnel.

He said a total of 13 Rocket Boomers have been used in different points of the rail line construction by around 20 companies engaged in the construction under NF Railway.

The official said that insurgency problem, frequent bandh, blockade and unfavourable condition of the highway disturb the smooth progress of the railway construction.

He also admitted that the companies have to rely on other highways for transportation of heavy equipment and other basic items as the condition of NH-37 is not favourable for vehicles carrying heavy equipment.

Frequent incidents of extortion, abduction and threats are problems faced by the companies from militants, he said.

It has also been estimated that around Rs 34 crore was spent in digging the tunnel.

On March 22 last year NF Railway successfully conducted the first trial engine run covering over a distance of 12 kilometres from Jiribam railway station to Dholakal.

The foundation stone of the rail line was laid in November 2004 by Prime Minister Dr Manmohan Singh while Lalu Prasad Yadav was the then Railways Minister.

In 2005 the Jiri-Imphal rail line was declared a National Project.
