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.

The first of the 34 tunnels which has been completed

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.

Adding a new chapter to its glory after commissioning the escalator at Bhubaneswar Railway Station recently, East Coast Railway has provided four Foot Over Bridges (FOBs) in its jurisdiction for the convenience of the passengers and rail users to go from o­ne platform to another.At Chilika, Delang, Lingaraj Road Halt and Joranda stations under Khurda Road Division, Railways have commissioned Foot Over Bridges (FOBs) for passengers at Stations to go from o­ne platform to another and also to cope with the growing traffic at Railway premises. These facilities have been commissioned in about two months time.
Foot Over Bridges (FOBs) are commissioned by the Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering and Electrical wings of Railways. Massive concerted efforts and co-ordination with detailed planning is put into these works with use of high end machinery like high capacity cranes and lifters.
These Foot Over Bridges (FOBs) are erected after ascertaining all safety measures and after taking proper traffic block (planned controlling of trains) under intimation to all concerned.
Construction of these Foot Over Bridges (FOBs) have been welcomed by the users of these facilities at the particular stations, as they will provide a lot of relief to Senior Citizens, ladies, students, children and medical patients.

MUMBAI: A Churchgate-Dahanu local left Palghar without a guard on Thursday morning. The guard, Radheshyam Sharma (55), had alighted in Palghar allegedly to have a cup of tea.

Western Railway (WR) has issued a chargesheet to Sharma for dereliction of a duty. A departmental inquiry has been ordered against Sharma and formal punishment will be handed out to him after the investigation is complete.

Sharma has denied that he had stepped out for tea. He claimed that he had alighted from the train to inspect one of the compartments after commuters complained about noise coming from it.

A senior WR official said, "Sharma's explanation does not seem tenable. I am sure he panicked when he spotted the train leaving without him."

The incident occurred soon after the local from Churchgate reached Palghar station at 7.24am. The train left Palghar at 7.25am and reached Boisar at 7.47am without the guard.

When Sharma spotted the moving local, he alerted the station authorities but the train had already covered significant distance. He then hailed an auto to catch up with the train at Boisar station. By the time he reached Boisar, the train had already moved to the next station.

Under the norms, a motorman should start the train only after the guard rings the bell. An official said, "It is not clear why the motorman left the station without the guard ringing the bell. It appears that there was some miscommunication and the motorman realized that there was no guard on board only after the train reached Boisar."What does a guard do?

The guard alerts motormen in case of an emergency and gives them the signal for departure after ensuring all commuters are on board. In case of an accident, the guard, along with railway cops, ensures the track is cleared for the next train. The guard is also expected to apply emergency brakes if he notices the motorman over-shooting the platform or jumping the signal
