Chief Public Relations Officer

Vizianagaram/Hyderabad: Curfew was imposed in Vizianagaram town in coastal Andhra after violent attacks on the property of transport minister Botsa Satyanarayana, and shoot at sight orders were issued on Sunday.

Police arrested 34 people for arson and rioting in the town. Four of those arrested are said to be outsiders, two of them from Srikakulam. The town remained tense on Sunday as the united Andhra protesters hit the streets in the morning despite the curfew and pelted stones at policemen and targeted the Satya Institute of Technology and Management College in Gajularega, run by a relative of Satyanarayana.

IGP D. Tirumala Rao said, “The situation is almost under control. The locals, unaware of the implications of the curfew are coming onto the roads.”

Extra forces brought into Vizinagaram

“In the morning there were incidents of hurling stones on police in Vizianagaram. We have an adequate number of forces stationed in the city. Efforts are on to impose the curfew totally,” IGP D. Tirumala Rao director general of police B. Prasada Rao said extra forces have been brought into Vizianagaram town. “There is no major violence in the town. An additional 35 companies of paramilitary forces are on their way.”

Agitators were out in force in Kothapeta, Palliveedhi, Kota Junction, Dasannapeta, Kanyakaparameswari temple and other areas of Vizianagaram town on Sunday morning. The police had to fire rubber bullets in the air at Kothapeta, Gajularega and Palliveedhi and used smoke shells. Normal life was paralysed in Vizianagaram town.

Around 4,500 police and paramilitary forces sealed areas such as Korada Street, Sivalayam Street, Three Lamps area, Clock Tower, where Satyanarayana’s house and those of his relatives are located.

All shops including medical stores, restaurants and cinema theatres shut down for the third consecutive day. Vizianagaram and surrounding area were cut off from other parts of the region as no one is being allowed into the town and all vehicles are being checked.

Some women staged a protest by squatting on the railway track, alleging that they were lathi-charged by the police when they were doing their routine work in their homes.

There were complaints of excessive use of force by the police in order to safeguard the properties and houses of Satyanarayana, who people believe pushed for the division of the state for selfish reasons.

Tirumala Rao said that the relaxation of curfew will depend on the situation.

Power cuts: Around 30,000 electricity employees are on an indefinite strike in the Seemandhra region, which began immediately after the 48-hour strike ended. The strike has hit power generation  in coastal Andhra and also transmission across the state. AP has lost close to 4,000 MW of power due to the strike.

The Southern grid has been threatened and therefore the large-scale power cuts imposed across the state. “Apart from the Srisailam Right Bank losing total generation, even generation from the Left Bank has gone down to 300 MW from 900 MW due to switching off of supply to Anantapur and Kurnool. The total hydel generation has come down substantially from the 35 MU to 40 MU on Saturday,” said director (hydel) APGenco, G. Adhisheshu.

Hospitals: Elective surgeries in district hospitals of Seemandhra have come to a halt due to the agitation in the state. Only emergency services and deliveries of  pregnant women are being attended to by the doctors and paramedical staff.

On emergency duty,  on orders of the state government,  doctors and paramedical staff cannot  go on strike. But to register  their protest, they shout slogans in the mornings and at lunch time. Although there was no rush of patients in  the hospitals on Sunday, the administration claims that the situation will deteriorate if the situation continues as withholding elective surgeries for long can be harmful to the patients.

Trains: The South Central Railway (SCR) has been badly affected by the indefinite strike of electricity employees. Forty trains have been cancelled and several others diverted as power supply to the railways has been cut off. Train services in Vijayawada have been completely halted.

Trains on the Vijayawada-Gudur-Renigunta route, Kazipet-Vijayawada route, and the Vijayawada-Gudur-Tirupati route have been cancelled. Priority has been given to the smooth running of long distance mail and express trains which link the north and south, and east and south, traversing via Vijayawada and Guntakal divisions of SCR. No long distance express trains was cancelled or diverted till 6 pm on Sunday, according to SCR officials.

MARGAO: Konkan railway corporation ( KRC) has decided to introduce a winter special AC superfast train between Ahmedabad and Mangalore junction from October 16 to November 28.

“In order to manage the extra rush of passengers during the ensuing Diwali festival, it is decided to run the AC superfast train between Ahmedabad and Mangalore junction,” said Baban Ghatge, KRC’s senior manager, public relations.

The proposal of the railways to set up an AC loco maintenance shed in Ernakulam has kicked up a row with railway employees alleging that the move is political in nature.According to officials, the railways has set aside `20 crore for setting up the AC loco shed on the Ernakulam junction premises.A letter has been forwarded by the General Manager of the Southern Railways to the Railway Board for approval.The decision to set up the AC loco shed was taken as most of the trains in the Thiruvananthapuram division ran on electric engines, the officials said. However, the railway employees allege that the move to set up the AC loco shed and in turn transfer the diesel loco shed from Kerala to Tamil Nadu or Karnataka was political.They said the move was a huge blow to the 350 employees currently working in the diesel loco shed, which is Kerala’s only diesel engine maintenance facility.Southern Railway Mazdoor Union (SRMU) divisional president P Unnikrishnan said since the repair and maintenance work of diesel locos is different from electric engines, it is also highly unlikely that these employees will be reinstated.“We are not against the construction of a new AC loco shed here. However, if there is any move to shift the diesel shed to a different place, the management should take us into confidence. There is a huge possibility that the employees will be transferred to other locations, i.e., to other states where the diesel shed will be relocated. We demand that the management either withdraw the move or hold talks with us in this regard to allay the fears of the employees,” Unnikrishnan said.

The SRMU will observe black day on Monday and is gearing up for a statewide agitation in the coming days.

Railway officials here said there were possibilities to set up the AC loco shed without disturbing the diesel loco shed.

“However, we have not been given any briefing regarding this because the proposal is in the initial stages,” Ernakulam area manager P L Ashok Kumar said.

As the electricity employees went on strike in the coastal districts and the Rayalaseema area of Andhra Pradesh against the Union Government’s decision to bifurcate the State and form Telangana, power supply was disrupted on Monday and there was a blackout in most of the coastal towns and villages. All industries, commercial establishments and other institutions were badly hit.The Visakhapatnam Steel Plant, which experienced a minor disruption in production on Sunday, was totally disconnected from the State power grid on Monday and the plant was running solely on captive power units with a capacity of 240 MW. Sources said only the most essential systems were being maintained as otherwise there may be a total shutdown and production was badly hit.Other industries in Visakhapatnam and other towns had to stop production because of the power cut. Several trains on the Vijayawada-Chennai, Visakhapatnam-Vijayawada and the Visakhapatnam-Bhubaneswar sections were stopped because of the disruption in power supply. The railway authorities were moving trains on diesel engines. Passenger trains and goods trains were cancelled and several long-distance trains regulated due to the critical situation.

Curfew in force in Vizianagaram

The situation in Vizianagaram town, 60 km from here, where properties of the Andhra Pradesh Congress Committee President, B. Satyanarayana, were attacked, remained tense but under control, according to the police. Curfew continued in the town for the third day and there was a heavy deployment of rapid action police force.

Power generation at the Narla Tata Rao thermal power station at Ibrahimpatnam near Vijayawada came to a total halt on Sunday night. The plant generates 1750 MW of power.

KOLKATA: After the power shift, now comes the renewed urgency from the state to strengthen the river transport to ease pressure off both road and railways.Ever since Mamata Banerjee became the chief minister, she has been insisting on the development of waterways to take some pressure off the road and rail transport. The move, according to officials, is also aimed at promoting tourism in the state.The CM has prepared a plan to develop Hooghly waterway of greater Kolkata on the lines of the Thames in model that of London. The Thames is a vital transportation route for accessing London from its suburbs, said transport minister Madan Mitra.The transport department is planning to utilize 57 gangway-pontoon jetties along a 324-km stretch upstream from Tribeni in Hooghly, which were built by West Bengal Transport Infrastructure Development Corporation (WBTIDC) with 90% funding from the Centre and 10% from the state under a water transportation development project.

It may be noted that the Ganga-Bhagirathi-Hooghly river system from Allahabad to Haldia has been declared the National Waterway No.1 under the National Waterway Act.

At present, there is hardly any launch service beyond the city limits to connect the farthest part of the suburbs with the heart of the city. "The beauty of the Hooghly can now only be enjoyed from the ferry ghat, one can just walk up to his or her office in Dalhousie. The river transport never got its due importance," added Mitra. At present, regular launch services are confined to the city core area. Mostly they crisscross the river along its breadth.

A study by the transport department shows a huge potential for extended launch services beyond the city since both road and rail transportation have exceeded their saturation level.

Initially, the West Bengal Surface Transport Corporation (WBSTC) will run the ferry services. The government will seek the participation of private players and the big cooperative societies that have the expertise in running launch services on the Hooghly. A few private players have also shown interest in running these longer versions of launch service. Already, the West Bengal Tourism Development Corporation has shown interest in running a cruise between Kolkata and Malda.

The Hooghly is not only free of congestion, it is also a strong viable alternative for passengers who can have a pleasant journey along the river. "Since the European Colony - French, Dutch, Portuguese, Armenian - had settled along the river, the Europeans have great interest in visiting these places. Such river cruise will also be introduced in the Sunderbans," said state tourism minister Krishnendu Narayan Chowdhury.

If things go according to plans, cruising along the river would never be the same again. The project will help tourists visit several a lot of the otherwise sites, which can't be accessed now.

Besides the tourism boost, the project will also facilitate economic growth in these areas. Strategically located on both banks of the Hooghly, most of the places are inaccessible by steamers and launches, thanks to lack of infrastructure. There are ferry services, but they operate in a primitive way. People often have to wade through hip-deep water to access the land after disembarking from the boats. Often, boats overturn because of overloading. Life across the river gets severely hindered, thanks to the underdeveloped river transportation system.

14 key jetties were constructed at on both sides of Plassey, Nabadwip, Agradwip, Daihat, Katwa, Shaktipur and Kalna. Among them, at Katwa and Kalna, even vehicles can be accommodated on the launches, said officers. The Centre bore 90% of the project cost, only 10% was borne by the state.

"Not only transportation and tourism, a lot of trading and business activities will receive a shot in the arm. Thanks to overdependence on river-transportation, the project would replenish new blood to local trade and as well as daily life," added the official.

"Since these locations covered almost the entire tourism circuit along the Hooghly, we will be at a most advantageous position for promoting tourism in these areas. We have Hooghly cruises. But the cruise loses its sheen considerably as tourists have to make a great effort to access the land. Often, may areas cannot be accessed at all. Because of the infrastructure problem, the area remained a largely untapped tourism destination," said a senior West Bengal Tourism Development Corporation officer.
