The Railways on Tuesday ordered an inquiry into the Gulbarga train fire incident in which two people had died, and also announced an ex-gratia payment of Rs.1 lakh to the next of the kin of the dead. Nine other people suffered severe burns when the general coach of the Solapur-bound Falaknuma Express train coming from Hyderabad caught fire during a halt at the Gulbarga Railway station. "An inquiry has been ordered to ascertain the cause of the fire in the general coach of the Solapur passenger train. The inquiry will be conducted by Commissioner Railway Safety Chetan Baxi and submit the report at the earliest," Railway spokesperson Anil Saxena said. Railways have also announced an ex-gratia payment of Rs.75,000 for the seriously injured and Rs.5,000 for those with minor injuries. "The service of fire brigade was immediately pressed to douse the fire which was noticed at around 1 PM in the coach. Senior officials have already rushed to the spot and fire has been extinguished completely by 2.15 p.m.," Saxena said.

  Indian Railways News  / Coming: GPS system for passenger info in 45 trains

On a trial basis, the Northern Railway has introduced a global positioning system-based passenger information and public address system on a New Delhi-Ghaziabad ladies' special train. "The facility -currently available only on Metro, besides Shatabdi, Rajdhani trains- will soon be extended to 45 more trains," a senior official said on Tuesday. The new system will display the name of station, direction of platform, current time, safety-related information and the next halt station. The system will also provide audio announcement of such messages through speakers in the coaches. The system can be further used for displaying welcome and farewell messages, playing music and passing any message in case of emergencies such as fire cases or hoax calls. "We have installed an LED-based display board, a GPS-based information and public address system on 64449/64450 Ghaziabad-New Delhi ladies' special train as a pilot project," he added. The new system will replace the existing manual tracking. station. the official said.

  Indian Railways News  / Central Railway rolls out 15-car service

At 7.33pm on Tuesday, Central Railway (CR) reached a key milestone as the first 15-car rake meant for its suburban network chugged out of Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus. The inaugural run marked the end of a long wait among commuters for 15-car rakes, whose capacity is 25% higher than that of 12-car locals, on the CST-Kalyan route. For now, CR will run 16 such services on the Fast corridor, including a few during the peak hours (see box). The station wore a festive look as CR general manager Subodh Jain flagged off the Kalyan-bound Siemens rake from platform number 7. A red carpet was laid at the Masjid end of the platform even as the train was decked up with flowers and a band performed at the station to mark the occasion. The stations where the 15-car rakes will stop include Byculla, Dadar, Kurla, Ghatkopar, Mulund, Thane and Dombivli.

The new rakes give women passengers a lot to cheer about. "We have decided to use two of the three additional bogies as ladies second class and first class coaches. The third coach will be a mix of general second class and general first class," said V A Malegaonkar, chief public relations officer of CR.

Welcoming the move to earmark extra coaches for women, Leela Martin of Kalyan said, "The authorities have done a good job by increasing the capacity for women commuters."

However, a section of commuters was not happy with the configuration. "They should have earmarked more space for general second class passengers. This will not solve the problem of overcrowding," said Prashant Zende, who, too, lives in Kalyan.

Apart from extending the length of platforms, CR had to shift signals and carry out yard remodeling to pave the way for its 15-car services.

Malegaonkar said, "As there was no matching 3-car unit available in the standard 9- and12-car formats, we had to modify the standard units at the Matunga workshop, which was technically quite difficult."

The 15-car service was originally scheduled to make its debut on Monday, but was postponed due to technical reasons.

Western Railway has been running 15-car services on its suburban network since 2009.
