NFR rally to beat Sunrise AC
Sports reporter
GUWAHATI, Sept 6 – After two back-to-back defeats, defending champions NF Railway Sports Club are back to winning form in the Abhishek Motors RG Baruah GSA Super League Football Tournament as they rallied to beat Sunrise Athletic Club 2-1.
With today’s victory, the NF Railway team has collected 19 points with one match to go and are placed in a satisfactory position to retain the title. Navajyoti are following them with 15 points while Green Valley (14 points) and Sunrise (12 points) are in the third and the fourth positions respectively. Both Navajyoti and Green Valley have two more matches to play.

The Railway team was distinctly a dominating side today enjoying superior ball possession. They made a bright start but failed to breeze ahead at the early stage of the match. They should have won the match by a much bigger margin but their strikers – Jalendra Brahma, Y Raju Singh and Chayaram Basumatary – missed some easy sitters.

Despite having domination in the midfield and in the up front, the Railway strikers could not capitalise on the scoring opportunities even from close ranges. Particularly in the second session, the NF Railway team kept the Sunrise defenders under constant pressure.

The railwaymen conceded a soft goal in the 22nd minute when Nigerian Camara sent a square pass from the right wing to his country mate Olando who gently put the ball in the Railway goal (1-0).

In the remaining part of the first session, Railway made some valiant efforts in search of the equaliser but some good work by Sunrise defenders Sanjay Nag and Raju Roy, rescued them from conceding goal in the first session.

NF Railway finally managed to level the issue in the 66th minute when the ball deflected into the Sunrise goal off a Sibra Narzary shot. Sibra unleashed a shot from top of the box and the ball entered the goal kissing Sunrise defender Rojit Singh’s thigh (1-1).

Railwaymen’s tireless efforts paid off as Chayaram Basumatary hit the winning goal in the 85th minute. Anticipating a pass from Sushanta Mazumdar, Chayaram ran through the Sunrise defence line and drove home from inside the box (2-1).

Today’s match: (Super Div champions group) Dynamo vs AP Blues.

इलाहाबाद। उत्तर मध्य रेलवे प्रशासन ने इलाहाबाद जंक्शन से एक और ट्रेन हमेशा के लिए हटाने का फैसला कर लिया है। इलाहाबाद से ऊंचाहार होते हुए कानपुर तक चलने वाली एयूसी पैसेंजर अब कानपुर से प्रयाग के बीच ही चलाई जाएगी। यह ट्रेन नौ सितंबर से प्रयाग से इलाहाबाद के बीच नहीं चलेगी। अभी यह गाड़ी इलाहाबाद जंक्शन से कानपुर के लिए शाम 4.45 बजे छूटती है। सीपीआरओ संदीप माथुर के मुताबिक नौ सितंबर से गाड़ी संख्या 54102/54101 कानपुर से प्रयाग के बीच ही चलेगी। इससे प्रयाग से छूटने वाली ट्रेनों की संख्या बढ़कर छह हो जाएगी। यहां से पहले से ही जौनपुर की एक, फैजाबाद और बरेली की दो-दो पैसेंजर ट्रेनों का संचालन किया जा रहा है, लेकिन यात्रियों के लिए दिक्कत यह है कि प्रयाग से छूटने वाली ट्रेनों में न साफ-सफाई होती है और न ही पानी भरने की कोई व्यवस्था है। इलाहाबाद से कुंडा, ऊंचाहार और लालगंज की ओर जाने वाले यात्रियों को एक लाभ जरूर मिलेगा कि प्रयाग स्टेशन से इस ट्रेन का संचालन दुरुस्त हो जाएगा। जंक्शन से चलने के दौरान अक्सर यह गाड़ी रात आठ से नौ बजे के बीच छूटती है।

आसनसोल रेलवे स्टेशन में यात्रियों की सुविधा को ध्यान रखते हुए स्टेशन मैनेजर हसन न्याज ने शनिवार को स्टेशन का निरीक्षण किया। इस दौरान डिप्टी कमर्शियल मैनेजर मनोज तिवारी भी मौजूद थे। सूत्रों के अनुसार, स्टेशन मैनेजर ने प्लेटफार्म संख्या पांच के ऊपरी मंजिल पर स्थित रिटायरिंग रुम, वेटिंग रुम, प्लेटफार्म संख्या दो व पांच का निरीक्षण किया। इस दौरान प्लेटफार्म स्थित टी स्टाल, कैंटीन, साफ-सफाई आदि का जायजा लिया। मालूम हो कि हाल ही में हसन न्याज स्टेशन मैनेजर बन कर आए हैं। वे स्टेशन परिसर में साफ-सफाई पर विशेष जोर दे रहे हैं। उनके ही प्रयास से जीआरपी थाना में साईन बोर्ड लगा। जो कि पिछले डेढ़ वर्ष से नहीं था।

Centre for Railway Information Systems (CRIS), the IT wing of Indian Railways, has developed an enhanced new interface for the www.trainenquiry.comfor dissemination of information to public. National Train Enquiry System (NTES) developed by CRIS is the backend system which collects information about train running on near real time basis and disseminates information through various interfaces like nationwide unique number 139, Website (www.trainenquiry.com), face to face enquiry, mobile interfaces etc. The new interface is accessible through www.trainenquiry.com or www.enquiry.indianrail.gov.in.The new interface for the website was made public for past one week as field trial to get users’ feedback. The new interface, which offers quick and easy access to essential information for passengers, has been largely appreciated for its speed, simple interface and richness of information and smooth user experience. This new interface has been launched with effect from 6th September 2013.Main features of the website provided under different Tabs on the Home page are as under:-

“Spot your train”- This query offers information about a train like Train Schedule, current running status, expected time of arrival/expected time of departure (ETA/ETD) at queried station.Complete running of the selected train can be easily seen through this interface.

“Station”- This query has been given to replicate the display boards at station. One can see, sitting at home the trains expected to arrive/depart at any given station in next 2/4/6/8 hours.Stations can be entered through code or name both. Option is also given to automatically refresh the screen every two minutes.

“Trains between Stations” - A very valuable query covering all trains defined on IR between any two stations. This complete information is presently not available on any other government website.

“Trains Cancelled”– This query displays all trains cancelled on IR. The tab displays trains which are cancelled through entire route as well as cancelled partially and providing service on partial route.

“Rescheduled” and “Diverted” – These queries display all trains marked as rescheduled or diverted on IR. The respective tabs display trains rescheduled timings and diverted route (from – to) information.

Some general characteristics are that all train numbers in different pages have been given as hyperlinks to view the schedule and current running. Pages have been kept light weight to enhance the speed of the website. All the information is navigable from a single home page with minimum clicks. Mobile version of the site is also available through same URL.

The interface has been made bilingual with Hindi version available on the website.

As part of the IR/CRIS ongoing efforts to enhance the quality and availability of information to public, new features such as separate pages for special trains and major events would be made available subsequently.

The existing website interface running as beta version will be replaced with the new interface. All other interfaces namely Events (events.trainenquiry.com), Rail Radar (railradar.trainenquiry.com),Rail Radar Fog view (railradar.trainenquiry.com/fog), SpecialTrains(trainenquiry.com/liveupdates/SpecialTrains.aspx)

Mobile (mobile.trainenquiry.com) and (onthego.trainenquiry.com) will be redirected to the new interface and all the information will be available through the new web interfaces.
