On its return journey, the train will leaves Yeshwantpur at 8.50 p.m. and reach Gulbarga at 7.10 a.m. (train number 22134), the next day, he said.“The officers concerned are working overtime to ensure that deadlines are met. Two new trains to Bangalore from Gulbarga and Bidar have been introduced within 100 days of my taking charge as the Railway Minister,” Mr. Kharge said.He announced three new long-distance trains that would pass through Gulbarga. Trains from Bangalore to Vaishno Devi and Bangalore to Ajmer would stop at Gulbarga, besides the newly introduced Hubli to Secunderabad train. A pit line or maintenance centre would be set up in Gulbarga at a cost of Rs. 6 crore, which had already been released. Work on the project would start shortly and completed within six months. Once the pit line became functional, more trains could be introduced from Gulbarga to Bangalore and other centres, he said.

Work on the Bidar-Gulbarga railway line would be speeded up as tenders had been invited for the construction of a tunnel at Maragutti, located between Humnabad and Gulbarga. It would take some time to fulfil the demand for a new train from Gulbarga to Bangalore.

Any new train would require a total of Rs. 30 crore, including Rs. 10 crore for the engine and Rs. 80 lakh to Rs. 1.5 crore for each coach, Mr. Kharge said. N.

Pushing for private participation in railway infrastructure development to tide over the financial handicap, East Coast Railways (ECoR) has mobilised around ` 1200 crore for different projects in the State.

National Mineral Development Corporation (NMDC) has invested ` 800 crore for doubling railway line from Jagdalpur to Kirandul in Chhattishgarh.

The additional line over 150 km will connect Bailadila iron ore mines at Kirandul to the proposed 3 mtpa steel plant at Jagdalpur, thus augmenting the evacuation capacity of minerals to meet the requirements of NMDC. The investment would be recovered by the PSU through freight rebate.

“With Odisha witnessing rapid industrialisation, expansion of railway network and infrastructure has assumed utmost importance. The industrialisation spree has also increased the prospects of private participation in railway development. In the last one and a half years, ECoR has generated ` 1,200 crore worth of investment from the stakeholders,” said Chief Operations Manager GD Brahma.

The Railways has introduced participative models where stakeholders invest in projects like new line, additional lines with revenue sharing arrangement by way of freight rebate.

 It has also facilitated deposit work where stakeholders make necessary investment for augmenting terminal and sectional capacity for higher loading and evacuation.

Mahanadi Coalfields Limited has invested ` 200 crore on autosignalling installation from Paradip to Talcher.

MCL will be able to recover its investment within the very short period as the upgradation will enable higher evacuation of  the freight leading to enhanced profit.

From around 23-24 rakes a day, autosignalling will enable carriage of about 45 rakes.

Likewise, Andhra Pradesh PSU APGENCO has invested ` 80 crore in autosignalling from Talcher to Gundapalli and beyond.

 “The participatory approach is the way forward as we cannot keep up with the infrastructure development necessities with limited funds. For every industry, we can have customised solutions,” Brahma said at the Transport Infra Conference here.

ECoR is pushing establishment of private freight terminals (PFT) in a big way. Private investors can develop terminals to handle multi-party cargo and provide value added services like warehousing, road transport. Railway sidings can be developed and shared by the owners.

The first PFT has been set up at Lapanga station by Aryan Ispat and Energy Limited and three more are in the offing.

Railways have decide to run special train between SRC & LTT for upcoming Durga Puja and Diwali rush

हबीबगंज-इंदौर डबल डेकर ट्रेन का संचालन 27 सितंबर से शुरू हो सकता है। रेल सूत्रों का कहना है कि रेल राज्यमंत्री अधीर रंजन चौधरी शुक्रवार को डबल डेकर को हरी झंडी दिखा सकते हैं। इधर, मंगलवार को भोपाल रेल मंडल के अधिकारी दिनभर उनसे समय लेने का प्रयास करते रहे। उनका कहना है कि बुधवार को भाजपा के कार्यकर्ता महाकुंभ के बाद रेल राज्यमंत्री से समय व तारीख फाइनल कर ली जाएगी।गौरतलब है कि डबल डेकर ट्रेन के संचालन के लिए रेल मंत्री की स्वीकृति के बाद रेलवे बोर्ड ने मंगलवार से इसका संचालन करने के लिए भोपाल रेल मंडल से कहा था, लेकिन यहां व्यवस्थाएं दुरुस्त नहीं होने से संचालन शुरू नहीं हो सका। हालांकि डीआरएम राजीव चौधरी ने इस बारे में कोई स्पष्ट जवाब नहीं दिया। जबकि रेलवे के अन्य अधिकारियों ने इतना जरूर कहा कि डबल डेकर का संचालन कम से कम दो दिन तो नहीं होगा। वहीं, ट्रेन का किराया निर्धारित करने का काम मंगलवार देर शाम तक पूरा नहीं हो सका।
