हाथरस : पिछले एक सप्ताह से हाथरस जंक्शन व किला स्टेशन के बीच रिमॉडलिंग का कार्य तेजी से चल रहा है। रविवार को किला स्टेशन पर लाइन पर कार्य किया गया। इधर, एचएडी प्रभावित रहने के कारण दैनिक यात्रियों को परेशानी हो रही है।
हाथरस जंक्शन रेलवे स्टेशन का विस्तार किया जा रहा है। स्टेशन पर छह नंबर प्लेटफार्म बनाया जा रहा है। लाइनों की लंबाई बढ़ाई जा रही है। सिग्नल भी हाइटेक किया जा रहा है। इस दिशा में हाथरस जंक्शन व किला स्टेशन के बीच के प्वांइट भी बदले जा रहे हैं। 21 सितंबर से रिमॉडलिंग का कार्य चल रहा है। डेली शेड्यूल के अनुसार कर्मचारी कार्य को तेजी से निपटाने में लगे हैं। रविवार को किला स्टेशन पर बिजली की हाई पावर लाइन पर काम किया गया। जंक्शन पर रिमॉडलिंग का कार्य समाप्त होने में चार से पांच दिन का समय और लगेगा।
लाइन में कार्य चलने के कारण ट्रेक को नॉन इंटरलॉक (एनआइ) कर दिया गया है। तीन अक्टूबर तक एचएडी ट्रेन के संचालन बंद रहेगा। एचएडी के बंद होने से हाथरस से दिल्ली व अन्य स्टेशन जाने वाले दैनिक यात्रियों को समस्या का सामना करना पड़ रहा है। संचालन बंद होने के कारण हर दिन दस से पंद्रह हजार रुपये का नुकसान हो रहा है।

आजमगढ़ : आजमगढ़ विकास संघर्ष समिति के अध्यक्ष एसके सत्येन के नेतृत्व में मऊ से आजमगढ़ होते हुए दिल्ली जाने वाली आनंद बिहार एक्सप्रेस का रेलवे स्टेशन पर रविवार को पहुंचने पर भव्य स्वागत किया गया। इस दौरान कार्यकर्ताओं ने ट्रेन को फूल-मालाओं से सजा दिया। मऊ के साथ ही जनपदवासियों के दिलों को छूते हुए आनंद-विहार ट्रेन दिल्ली के लिए रवाना हो गई।
ट्रेन अपने निर्धारित समय से 20 मिनट विलंब से प्लेटफार्म नंबर एक पर जैसे ही पहुंची कार्यकर्ताओं ने जमकर नारेबाजी की। इस दौरान ट्रेन के पायलट महेंद्र चौरसिया एवं सहायक अशोक राम को फूल-मालाओं से लाद दिया गया। इस दौरान दोनों पायलट को मिठाइयां खिलाकर स्वागत किया गया। इस अवसर पर एसके सत्येन ने कहा कि आनंद विहार एक्सप्रेस ट्रेन ने मऊ के साथ ही जनपदवासियों का दिल जीत लिया है।
अब दिल्ली जाने के लिए कैफियात के अलावा एक और ट्रेन भी हो गई है। इससे लोगों को काफी सहूलियत मिलेगी। अकेले कैफियात ट्रेन के चलने से लोगों को काफी दिक्कत हो रही थी। पंद्रह-पंद्रह दिन तक आरक्षण ही नहीं मिल पाता था। उन्होंने रेल मंत्रालय से इस ट्रेन को प्रतिदिन चलाने की मांग की। इस अवसर पर विनोद सिंह, नवीन श्रीवास्तव, पपलू, ज्ञानेंद्र सिंह, हकीम बेग, परमात्मा शरण पाण्डेय, अभिषेक जायसवाल, कृपाशंकर पाठक, राजीव सिंह, चंद्रमौली सिंह, आनंद गुप्ता, राजेंद्र आदि उपस्थित थे।

Ranchi: The CBI court has found all the accused in fodder scam guilty including RJD chief Lalu Yadav. The quantum of punishment is likely to be pronounced on October 3. With this, Rashtriya Janata Dal chief Lalu Prasad’s political career has gone into limbo. He now faces immediate disqualification as a Lok Sabha member. As per Supreme Court order, an MP or legislator would stand disqualified immediately if convicted by a court for crimes with punishment of two years or more.

सुजानपुर : शहर के लोगों को अब टिकट रिजर्वेशन के लिए रविवार को भी पठानकोट का रूख नहीं करना पडे़गा। सुजानपुर के रेलवे स्टेशन पर रविवार को बंद रहने वाला टिकट रिजर्वेशन काउंटर जम्मू-कश्मीर के सासद लाल सिह क प्रयासों से सप्ताह के सातों दिन खुला रहेगा। रविवार को इस काउटर के शुरू होने पर सोशल वेलफेयर एसोसिएशन सुजानपुर के सदस्यों ने स्टेशन पर लड्डू बाटे।
इस मौके पर संस्था के प्रधान पवन महाजन, चेयरमैन प्रि त्रिभवन सिंह, पार्षद जोगिन्द्र पाल ने बताया कि सोशल वेलफेयर एसोसिएशन का शिष्टमंडल 22 सितंबर को अपनी मांगों को लेकर जम्मू कश्मीर के सासद चौधरी लाल सिंह को मिले थे तथा उन्हें बताया था कि सुजानपुर में टिकट रिजर्वेशन काउटर के रविवार को नहीं खुलने के कारण सुजानपुर व इसके साथ लगते 60 गावों के लोगों को टिकट आरक्षण के लिए पठानकोट जाना पड़ता है। इस पर चौधरी लाल सिंह ने शिष्टमंडल को आश्वासन दिया था कि उनकी समस्या शीघ्र हल कर दी जाएगी। एक सप्ताह बाद ही सुजानपुर के लोगों की लंबे समय से चली आ रही माग का पूरा कर दिया है। मौके पर पार्षद जोगिन्द्र पाल, महासचिव रमण पुरी, एडवोकेट निपुण महाजन, स्टेशन मास्टर जोगिन्द्र पाल, बुकिंग क्लर्क मदन लाल, चरण दास उपस्थित थे।
