  Indian Railways News  / रेलवे कार्यालय से साफ्टवेयर की चोरी

गया जंक्शन परिसर स्थित सिग्नल एवं टेलीकाम विभाग के कार्यालय से रविवार की रात बी-टेक कंपनी से आए एक अभियंता की बैग चोरी चली गई। इस बैग में रेलवे के रिजर्वेशन काउंटर से संबंधित साफ्टवेयर वाला आईसी सहित महत्वपूर्ण कागजात व अभियंता के निजी सामान थे।चोरी की इस घटना से रेलवे सुरक्षा बल के पोस्ट प्रभारी निरीक्षक अशोक कुमार सिंह को कंपनी के अभियंता ने लिखित तौर पर अवगत कराया है। सिग्नल एंड टेलीकाम विभाग के सुपरवाईजर पी.एन. प्रसाद ने बताया कि चोरी गए साफ्टवेयर आरक्षण टिकट काउंटर से संबंधित था। जिसकी कीमत लगभग दो लाख रुपये है। उन्होंने बताया कि रविवार की रात करीब आठ बजे बी-टेक कंपनी से इस साफ्टवेयर को लेकर पहुंचे इंजीनियर अपना बैग छोड़कर आरक्षण कार्यालय में गए हुए थे। बैग लैपटाप रखने वाला जैसा था। जिसे चोरी करने वाले ने शायद यह समझ कर उठा ले गया कि इसमें लैपटाप होगा। उन्होंने बताया कि इस साफ्टवेयर के रिजर्वेशन कार्यालय में लगा दिए जाने के बाद काउंटर से टोकन सिस्टम के तहत टिकट मिलने लगेगा। जिससे काउंटर पर लंबी कतार में खड़े रहकर यात्रियों को टिकट का इंतजार नहीं कर पड़ेगा।बताया गया कि आरपीएफ को इस तरह की सूचना देने के बाद पीड़ित अभियंता के साथ सुपरवाइजर श्री प्रसाद रेल थाना में भी इसी आशय की लिखित सूचना देकर अग्रतर कार्रवाई का अनुरोध करेंगे।

  Indian Railways News  / DAY 2: INDIA GASPS FOR POWER * 3 out of 5 grids collapse * Blackout in 21 states, UTs * 64 crore peo

New Delhi : Even before North India could recover from yesterday’s crippling power failure, the northern grid tripped again this afternoon, taking with it the eastern and the north-eastern grids. The result: Half of the country and over 64 crore people went without power for hours.Twenty states that account for more than half of the country’s population were left powerless after the northern grid tripped again in the afternoon, apparently due to overdrawing of electricity by Uttar Pradesh again. The cascading effect this time was much bigger as the eastern and the north-eastern grids also tripped in quick succession due to overloading.The states affected today were Jammu and Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, Punjab, Haryana, Chandigarh, Delhi, Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, West Bengal, Odisha, Jharkhand, Sikkim, Assam, Meghalaya, Tripura, Nagaland, Manipur, Mizoram and Arunachal Pradesh.The massive outage came just hours after North India recovered from a blackout yesterday when the northern power grid collapsed, pushing seven states and Delhi into darkness.

All major services, including rail, water supply and emergency services at hospitals, were affected across all the states hit by the power failure, which is said to be the world’s one of the biggest power failures.

The power failure left lakhs of train passengers stranded all across the country and miners trapped in the mines in West Bengal. Over 300 trains across the country came to a standstill. With restoration work on, there was some semblance of order around the country by 6 pm, but complete normalcy across the affected states came only by late in the night.

The crisis was allegedly triggered after four states, Rajasthan, Haryana, Punjab and Uttar Pradesh, drew much more than their assigned share of power. But the fault lay majorly at the doorstep of Uttar Pradesh, which, despite repeated warnings, has been continuing to overdraw electricity.

The supply to Delhi at 1.30 pm was reduced to an all-time low of 40 MW against its demand of 4,000 MW. The Metro stopped running; passengers were seen walking on the tracks to reach the nearest platform. In Kolkata, the Metro was not hit by the outage, but West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee asked all government offices to shut early, and urged the private sector and schools to do the same to protect against commuter chaos in the evening.

“Northern and eastern grid failure has affected railway operations across six of our railway zones. Over 300 passenger trains are stuck,” said Anil Saxena, Additional Director General for Public Relations in the Railway Ministry. The Delhi Metro suspended service on all six lines as power tripped for the second straight day. It normally operates over 2,700 trips a day, covering around 70,000 km, to carry around 1.8 million passengers on a week day. Talking about the crisis, Power Grid Corporation of India Limited Chairman RK Nayak said the problem was difficult to be located as it was a complex network.
