New Delhi: After estimating that more than 1,000 buses and 3,000 passenger vehicles will be expected for the BJP rally at Rohini tomorrow morning, the Delhi Traffic Police has advised people who wish to join the rally to use the Metros to avoid the congestion on the roads.The rally is being organised at the Japanese Park ground at 10 am. According to the police, a large gathering of people is expected from Delhi, Haryana, Rajasthan and Uttar Pradesh. "Those who wish to join the rally should avoid private vehicles and use the Delhi Metro till the Rithala Metro station, which is located near the venue," said Addl Commissioner of Police (Traffic) Anil Shukla.The DMRC has arranged services in anticipation that at least 50,000 people will use the Metro to reach the venue. "The frequency of the Metro arrival on Sundays will be reduced from five minutes to 3.3 minutes. The number of Metro trains running on Sundays has been doubled to 26 on the Red Line from Kashmiri Gate to Rithala. The DMRC has also facilitated feeder buses to ferry people to the venue from the Rohini West Metro station," said a BJP press release.The developments came after former Delhi BJP president Vijender Gupta, who is the convenor of the rally, discussed the travel arrangements with DMRC MD Mangu Singh.

The congestion is expected on the route of the rally and in the outer district from 8 am onwards. These areas are from Mukarba Chowk to Peeragarhi Chowk on Outer Ring Road, from Wazirpur depot to Rithala Metro station and from Punjabi Bagh Chowk to Azadpur. To reduce traffic congestion, the goods vehicle will be diverted at Shahbad Dairy, Peera Garhi Chowk, Wazirpur Bus Depot and Mukarba Chowk.

No vehicle will be allowed to park on the arterial roads in and around the venue. A heavy penalty will be imposed on such vehicles," said Shukla.

Union Minister for Railways Mallikarjun Kharge said on Saturday that the new railway projects are getting delayed as the State government is slow in sanctioning funds and acquiring land.

After flagging off the Yeshwantpur-Mangalore-Yeshwantpur16565/16566 Weekly Express, Kharge said that the Union government is quick in implementing the railway projects, but the State government is not able to cope up with the Centre in this regard.

The Centre has taken up 13 new railway projects and some are almost complete. Four more projects will be completed in the next four to five months.

For the new railway project, the State had to release Rs 700 crore, but till now only Rs 50 crore has been released with delay in the acquisition of land to lay the new track.

Mangalore-Kadur railway track laying work has been completed and  it will become functional in another two months. Kottur-Harihar route will start in another three months and Kolar-Chikballapur route has completed trials, he said.

Kharge further said, all the projects which were promised by the Central government have been completed, for women safety, Centre is planning to appoint women constables and inspectors.

NASHIK: The Maharashtra government has urged the Central Railway (CR) to commence work planned for the forthcoming Kumbh Mela in Nashik.  The Office of the Nashik Divisional Commissioner has sent a letter to the CR, urging it to undertake Kumbh-related works at the earliest. The state has also urged the CR to start a permanent reservation counter at Trimbakeshwar town and begin construction work of platforms 4 and 5 at the Nashik Road Railway station.

With just 19 months left for the Kumbh Mela scheduled in 2015-16, the Maharashtra government has already twice asked the Nashik Municipal Corporation (NMC) and the Public Works Department (PWD) to commence infrastructure work related to the Kumbh, given that such work will require 18 to 20 months to be completed.

“Follow-ups pertaining to Kumbh work are being done regularly,” divisional revenue commissioner Ravindra Jadhav told on Saturday.

In its last Mumbai meeting, the High Power Committee for Kumbh had in principle approved a Rs.2,297-crore Kumbh plan for all government departments, including Rs 1,031.91 crore for the NMC, Rs.654.21 crore for the PWD, Rs.80.76 crore for the Water Resources Department WRD and Rs.25.75 crore for the Railways. The plan will soon be presented to the apex committee of the state government, chaired by chief minister Prithviraj Chavan, for approval.

Union Minister for Railways Mallikarjun Kharge said on Saturday that the new railway projects are getting delayed as the State government is slow in sanctioning funds and acquiring land.

Holding it guilty of poor upkeep of train coaches, a consumer forum has directed Railways to pay Rs. 1 lakh as compensation to a Supreme Court advocate, who injured his fingers due to a loosely covered fan in a train in 2011.

"We hold Indian Railways guilty of deficiency and direct chairman, Railway Board, who is impleaded by us as main party, to pay compensation of Rs. 1 lakh inclusive of litigation charges for the deficiency of poor upkeep of coaches," the New Delhi Consumer Disputes Redressal Forum said.

A bench headed by CK Chaturvedi and members Asha Kumar and SR Chaudhary directed Railways to pay the amount in a month while also pulling it up for trying to dismiss the issue on the ground of jurisdiction.

The order came on the complaint of Bharat Bhushan Dinkar, who said that he was travelling from Muzaffarpur in Bihar to Delhi in Sapt Kranti Express on August 21, 2011 when upon reaching the upper berth, his hand hit the overhead fan which was fitted with a broken cover, leading to grievous injuries to his fingers in the right hand.

He said upon reporting the matter to railway employees on board, he was given first aid at Narkatiyaganj junction and had to complete his journey in pain.

He said he got his fingers examined at the health centre of Delhi high court and was referred to Ram Manohar Lohia hospital where he took treatment till January last year.

The complainant also told the forum that being an advocate, he was not able to work on the laptop, handle books properly or even hold a pen.

The bench rejected Northern Railway's contention that the forum does not have the jurisdiction to hear the complaint and that as he suffered his injury in Bihar, he should go to that state to file the complaint.

"The whole contention is misconceived and deserves to be thrown out at the threshold. India Railway is one entity and for efficient management of its organisation, it is divided in Nine Zones under the Railway Act.

"He (complainant) suffered pain and inconvenience in whole journey till Delhi and in Delhi he got injury examined and got treated... Railway is directly responsible for injury sustained due to loosely covered fan, to any person in journey anywhere. The facts speak for themselves in the case," it said.
