  Indian Railways News  / Hill section to reopen in 2 weeks

SILCHAR: Northeast Frontier Railway (NFR) sources on Wednesday said it will take about two more weeks to restore the portion of railway track between Harangajao and Mailongdisa on the Lumding-Silchar section that was washed away due to a landslide last Sunday."Workers and engineers are working round the clock to restore the line. We hope in another two weeks we will be able to make the stretch fit for running of trains. Soil, concrete and boulders were washed away from under a 100-metre stretch of the track, which is simply hanging due to impact of the landslide," said an official.The landslide also damaged bridge number 440 in the place. Sources said additional divisional railway manager of the Lumding division of NFR, Satish Kothati, is stationed at the spot to oversee the restoration work.Torrential rain in the Barail Hill range for the past many days triggered landslides in at least five places in the Hill section last Sunday. The authorities were compelled to suspend and regulate services of all trains in this 214-km section until tracks are repaired.Apart from the stretch between Harangajao and Mailongdisa, debris from landslides in other four places were cleared, the sources added.The ongoing 60-hour Dima Hasao district bandh caused no hindrance to the restoration work, the railway official said.Elsewhere, the bandh called by the Autonomous State Demand Committee (ASDC) and its frontal organizations brought normal life in the hill district to a halt. On Wednesday, the second day of the bandh, all shops and business establishments were closed. Banks, government and private offices and educational institutions also didn't function. Traffic was off the roads.The bandh was called seeking immediate release of ASDC leader Mohet Hojai, a former chief executive member of the NC Hills Autonomous Council. He is in jail since May 30, 2009, along with 14 others, for his alleged involvement in a Rs 1,000-crore scam in the once-troubled district.ASDC also demanded withdrawal of the NIA from the district, regularization of salaries of the normal sector employees of the council, immediate disbursement of gratuity and separate arrangements for recruitment of teachers for the hill district by scrapping the TET.

  Indian Railways News  / Soon, Pune to get Metro rail service

Mumbai: In a major breather for the five million people of Pune, the Maharashtra government has given the green signal for the state's second Metro rail project after Mumbai in Pune, a top official said. "In the first phase, it will connect Ramwadi-Wanaz on an elevated track at a cost of Rs.2,593 crore," the official said after a late-night cabinet meeting June 6. Thereafter, the second phase, around 44 km long, and costing Rs.5,391 crore will be taken up to connect Shivaji Nagar-Hinjewadi-Deccan-Bundgarden-Swargate-Katraj-Pimpri & Chinchwad-Nigdi, which are largely industrial areas.The entire project is expected to be completed within five years, including three years for the construction alone. The state has approved setting up of the Pune Metro Rail Corporation(PMRC), a special purpose vehicle(SPV) for the mega-project. This is the biggest single project taken up in the state's academic and culture capital, around 250 km from Mumbai. The Pune Municipal Corporation(PMC) has been appointed as the nodal agency for implementing the BOT (build-operate-transfer) project till the SPV is set up. The PMC had submitted the proposal to the state government in 2011 for approval after getting a detailed project report from Delhi Metro Rail Corporation(DMRC), which had carried out a study in 2007. Accordingly, the state and central governments will each contribute 20 percent towards the project, 10 percent from PMC and the remaining 50 percent through debt-equity. The Pune Metro Rail is considered a political victory of sorts for the Sharad Pawar-led Nationalist Congress Party in its bastion, the western Maharashtra region. The state government also gave an in-principle approval to a proposal for a third metro railway in the state to come up in Nagpur, the alternative capital. The DMRC will carry out a detailed technical-feasibility study and submit its report to the state government by August 2012, after which a final decision will be taken.
