Survey ordered for new Railway Line from Latur Road to Gulbarga

Survey ordered for new Railway Line from Latur Road to Gulbarga

MUMBAI: Chief minister Devendra Fadnavis has thrown his weight behind the laying down of the new railway line from Latur Road to Gulbarga junction in Karnataka.
In a letter addressed to Union railway minister Piyush Goyal, the CM has pushed for the new railway line while expressing the state government’s resolve to bear 50% of the total cost of the project. In his official remark on the letter, the railway minister has ordered an immediate survey of the new railway line that has been demanded.
The new line has also received recommendation from state cabinet minister Sambhaji Patil-Nilangekar, who is the guardian minister of Latur district.
“Sambhaji Patil-Nilangekar has brought to my notice that a new railway line connecting the Gulbarga junction with Latur Road station, will help to reduce the present rail travel distance by 150km and the travel time by around three hours. This will also become an alternate route to the existing single line between Latur Road and Vikarabad junction,” said Fadnavis, adding that the new line will reduce fuel consumption to a large extent.
Requesting an order for the immediate survey for the new line, the CM has said that he may consider sharing 50% of the cost to initiate the new railway line.
Welcoming the proposal to start a new railway line from Latur Road to Gulbarga, railway activist Raj Somani said that the letter written by the CM to the Union railway minister also mentioned a new line from Rotegaon-Kopargaon and Aurangabad-Chalisgaon.
“The new railway line from Latur Road to Gulbarga is projected to be like the Rotegaon-Kopargaon and Aurangabad-Chalisgaon lines. We demand the speedy completion of these two lines as well,” he said. A new line on the 22km route between Rotegaon-Kopargaon has been one of the most sought after routes in the region. A survey of the proposed route was in progress after the necessary sanction was received in 2017-18. If it comes up, the route will considerably reduce the travel time to Shirdi via Aurangabad and will also ease congestion on the busy Manmad junction.

Karnataka: SPV for suburban rail network on the cards

Karnataka: SPV for suburban rail network on the cards
The special purpose vehicle will execute the Rs. 9,000-cr. project and will be discussed in a meeting between State govt. and Railway Minister shortly
The formation of a special purpose vehicle (SPV) for city’s suburban rail network will be discussed in detail at a meeting between the State government and the Railway Minister and other officials scheduled to be held in a few weeks time, City Development Minister K.J. George said here on Thursday.
At a preliminary meeting with Union Minister D.V. Sadananda Gowda, railway officials, and other State government officials, Mr. George said that a draft document for the formation of the SPV — which will execute the Rs. 9,000-crore suburban rail project for the city— has been submitted to the Centre. “We will follow this up with the Centre. One of the bottlenecks with regard to the SPV is the cost sharing ratio and the issue of who would repay the amount borrowed,” Mr. George added.
Currently, the Union government has proposed a 20:20:60 policy in which both Union and State governments would contribute 20% each while 60% of the cost would be raised from loans. While Karnataka is proposing that the repayment of the loans also be split between Centre and State, the Central policy says that the States have to bear the cost of the repayment. “We are also requesting that the fares for the services operated by the SPV be fixed by the SPV itself and not linked to Indian Railways fares. This will help us to avoid operational losses. We will discuss all these issues in New Delhi,” Mr. George said.

Weekly Train to Mangaluru via Coastal Districts of Karnataka? -The Udupi Railway Yatri Sangha

Weekly Train to Mangaluru via Coastal Districts of Karnataka?- The Udupi Railway Yatri Sangha

The Udupi Railway Yatri Sangha has urged the Western Railway to introduce a weekly train from Bandra Terminus in Mumbai to Mangaluru, via Vasai Road Junction, for the benefit of people living in the three coastal districts of Karnataka.

In a press release issued here, R.L. Dias, president of the Udupi Railway Yatri Sangha, said that a large number of people from Udupi, Dakshina Kannada and Uttara Kannada districts were either employed or had business establishments at the 16 suburban railway stations between Dadar and Naigaon in Mumbai on the Western Railway section. These people had to struggle to return to their native places as there were only two trains starting from Lokamanya Tilak Terminus and Chatrapati Shivaji Terminus in Mumbai. Both these stations were at the southern end of Mumbai.

It would take nearly one-and-a-half to two hours to reach these stations through the busy highway by autorickshaw or taxi.

Hence, for the benefit of these people living on the Western Railway section of Mumbai, the sangha had been urging the Western Railway to start a weekly train from Bandra Terminus to Mangaluru, via Vasai Road Junction since 2006.

To this request, the Western Railway had replied that due to mail/express and suburban trains, there was no extra track and therefore, the request to start a train from Bandra Terminus to Mangaluru was not feasible.

Later, an extra track was laid from Borivali to Vasai Road Junction. Besides, the Western Railway also ran two special trains — Bandra Terminus - Vasai Road - Madgaon (bi-weekly) and Bandra Terminus-Vasai Road-Madgaon (tri-weekly) during Ganesh and Onam festivals, this year. When the Western Railway rejected the sangha’s demand how was it possible for it to run the two special trains upto Madgaon?, he asked.

High Court Judge trashes Selection of Halt Agents through Draw of Lots by Kids

High Court Judge trashes Selection of Halt Agents through Draw of Lots by Kids

Bangalore: The Karnataka High Court has struck down as unjust and illegal the railways’ selection of halt agents through draw of lots by children.

Halt agents are locals appointed on contract to issue tickets on a commission basis at small railway stations. When there’s more than one applicant, the railways usually resorts to the lottery system.

“According to the guidelines, a shortlist has to be drawn up by the selection committee. But the act of selecting the person for appointment is left in the hands of a child, and to the hands of fate. The person to be appointed is merely selected through a lottery. To say the least, there is no logical justification for adopting such a procedure where the selection to a post is left to fate and to fortuitous circumstances,” Justice Raghvendra S Chauhan observed recently while quashing the appointment of one SN Sathesha, as halt agent of Beeranahalli railway station, KR Pet taluk, Mysuru district.

The petitioner, BP Nagaraju Gowda, had challenged the condition mentioned in the railways’ advertisement of April 13, 2013, that the selection for the post of halt agent shall be done through a lottery system where a child would draw the lots.

The judge said the selection process ignores the requirement of merit. “It ignores the requirement of eligibility and suitability… Such a selection process is tantamount to shooting in the dark. Thus, the selection itself is unjust, unfair and unreasonable,” Nagaraju Gowda said.

“To say the least, the selection process has to be fair, just and reasonable. It can neither be arbitrary, nor unfair, nor capricious. Even if the selection process is for a temporary post, it has to satisfy the constitutional mandate of equality of opportunity. The procedure mentioned above clearly violates Article 16 of the Constitution,” the judge further said.

However, the judge declined to accede to Gowda’s prayer for regularizing his services as he had put in 25 years’ service, citing a division bench verdict holding that no master-servant relationship existed between the railway administration and the halt agent

Supreme Court panel says no to mega rail link through Western Ghats

Supreme Court panel says no to mega rail link through Western Ghats 

A joint venture between the Railways and the Karnataka government, the original project involved construction of 329 bridges and 29 tunnels, and required felling of more than 2.5 lakh trees on 965 hectares of forest land.

The Rs 2,315-crore Hubli-Ankola railway line, cutting across the Western Ghats in Karnataka, has been shown the red signal by a Supreme Court panel on forest and wildlife, which said that the project’s “huge and irreparable” ecological impact would “far outweigh” its “actual tangible benefits”. 

Last August, Railways Minister D V Sadananda Gowda, who is also a senior BJP leader from Karnataka, had claimed that he was in touch with Environment Minister Prakash Javadekar on the issue and that the 168-km rail link project — conceived in 1998 primarily to transport iron ore from the Bellary-Hospet mines — would be cleared in a year. However, in its report submitted earlier this month, the Supreme Court’s Central Empowered Committee (CEC) underlined that the net present value of the modified requirement of 727 hectares of forest land for the project works out to Rs 7,426 crore ? more than triple the project cost. 

“These figures most effectively demonstrate the extraordinary high ecological and economic value of the forest land involved in the project,” it said, recommending that the apex court may direct the Environment Ministry not to reconsider or approve the project it had earlier rejected. MoEF officials refused to comment as the matter was sub-judice. A joint venture between the Railways and the Karnataka government, the original project involved construction of 329 bridges and 29 tunnels, and required felling of more than 2.5 lakh trees on 965 hectares of forest land. The proposal was rejected by the Environment Ministry in 2004 but revived with modifications in 2006. Pushing the rail link in 2008, the Karnataka government claimed it was “inevitable that the Western Ghats has to be pierced through at some point to ensure this connectivity between coastline and eastern plains of the state.”

The CEC’s opinion follows a series of adverse reports the project has attracted since its foundation stone was laid by then prime minister A B Vajpayee in May 2000. In 2002, the Karnataka forest department observed that no national interest would be served by dissecting the forest landscape of Uttara Kannada with a new rail link when the potential of the existing alternatives such as Hubli-Vasco, Hospet-Chennai and Hospet-Vizag lines was yet to be tapped fully due to the low volume of iron ore traffic. It further reasoned that the deposit of Bellary-Hospet itself would not last beyond 20 years, making mining economically unviable. But by then, the Railways had already started work on the project in a non-forest stretch. In 2003, the then Karnataka forest chief reiterated that “the forest and terrain really do not permit a railway line” but the proposal “has to be considered in the light” of “more than one commitment” already made by the state government and the Railways Ministry. Submitting the proposal to the Union Environment Ministry, Karnataka’s then principal secretary (forest) acknowledged that the rail link “will further fragment the forest and expose fresh areas to anthropogenic pressure”, before concluding that “these appear inevitable given the importance of the line”. 

In May 2004, the Forest Advisory Committee (FAC) of the Environment Ministry observed that the project “for transporting mainly iron ore has not much justification” while “this will simply be a tragedy on the prime forests of the Western Ghats. Accordingly, the ministry rejected the proposal. In the following months, the Railway Ministry mounted pressure, underlining the importance of the project in view of increasing global demand for iron ore. In September, the FAC asked the Karnataka government to critically revise the proposal. The Railway ministry modified the proposal in 2005, reducing the forest land requirement to 720 hectare. In 2006, two NGOs approached the CEC which found that though the project was rejected, work was in progress on a 40-km non-forest stretch. 

Before CEC could take action, 80 per cent of earth and bridge works up to 47 km between Hubli and Kiravatti was complete. In 2011, the state government engaged the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) to prepare a technical report. Recommending a Rs 450-crore mitigation plan, the IISc report said in 2012 that the proposed link would cut through a key elephant corridor and trigger conflict, while removal of trees would lead to a loss of 2.25 lakh tonnes of carbon and annual sequestration potential of upto 3,696 tonnes. Between 2006 and 2013, the CEC held seven hearings and meetings on the project. During this period, the Railways proposed to implement the project in stages while Karnataka further reduced the total forest land requirement to 687 hectare. Dismissing the reduction in forest-land requirement, the CEC said that “no amount of mitigation measures would be adequate to contain the severe adverse impact on the biodiversity-rich dense forest of Western Ghats.” However, it said that the MoEF may divert five hectares of fringe forest land for the Hubli-Kalaghati stretch of the proposed link as sought by the Railways if the latter confirmed that the segment would be commercially viable by itself.
