रेल संरक्षा आयुक्त पीके वाजपेयी ने उरई रेलवे स्टेशन पर इलेक्ट्रिक लाइन के निरीक्षण के दौरान माना कि अभी इलेक्ट्रिक लाइन से ट्रेनों के संचालन में तमाम गतिरोध हैं उन्हें दूर करने की कोशिश की जा रही है। उन्होंने कहा कि कानपुर से झांसी तक बिछी विद्युतीकृत रेलवे लाइन के निरीक्षण के बाद मंगलवार को इलेक्ट्रिक इंजन का फाइनल ट्रायल होगा। इसके बाद तय किया जाएगा लाइन ठीक है या नहीं, कब से इलेक्ट्रिक ट्रेनों के आवागमन को हरी झंडी मिलेगी इसको लेकर उन्होंने कुछ नहीं कहा। चौरसी के पास विद्युतीकृत लाइन में पावर सप्लाई के लिए सब स्टेशन के निर्माण को लेकर चल रहा विवाद अभी खत्म नहीं हुआ, लेकिन उन्होंने कहा कि यहां सब स्टेशन स्थापित हुए बगैर भी इलेक्ट्रिक लाइन शुरू हो सकती है। इलेक्ट्रिक लाइन देखने वाले इंजीनियरों से उन्होंने तकनीकी खामियों के बारे में पूछा।

Baramulla, Sep 14: The Special Investigation Team ( SIT) constituted to probe the mysterious death of People’s League leader Abdul Rashid Sofi alias Ghazi has expressed dismay over the Northern Railway failure to install CCTV camera at the Kralhar railway station here in north Kashmir.

The SIT, according to reports, had approached the railway department to seek the footage of CCTV camera if installed at the Kralhar railway station, however, to their dismay they found that the department had not installed the system.

Sources told that the railway department had so far not installed any such surveillance cameras all along the route from Baramulla to Qazigund despite the fact that the entire route from Baramulla to Qazigund, comprising of 15 railway stations and 64 major bridges are considered to be sensitive keeping in view the turmoil in Kashmir.

Meanwhile, the special investigation team probing the death of the 65 year old PL leader is reportedly seeking all the details of the passengers who had traveled on Wednesday evening from Islamabad (Anantnag) to Baramulla. The SIT has also reportedly questioned several railway guards deployed at Kralhar Baramulla railway station.

Meanwhile, various pro-freedom leaders and parties have condoled the demise of Ghazi.Jammu Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF) chairman Muhammad Yasin Malik  has expressed shock and grief over the demise, describing the deceased as a gentle and humble soul. He said Gazi’s dedication and struggle will always be remembered. He prayed for the deceased and sympathized with the bereaved family.

A delegation of Democratic Freedom Party (DFP) led by its general secretary Moulana Abdullah Tari on Saturday visited the residence of the deceased.

“Due to continuous house arrest senior resistance leader and chairman DFP Shabir Ahmad Shah could not visit the Baramulla to express solidarity with the family of resistance leader Ghazi Abdul Rashid on his martyrdom,” a DFP spokesman said.

However, on his instructions, a delegation visited the residence of the deceased and expressed sympathies with the bereaved family,” he added.
