Extension of Unreserved Sleeper Class Ticket Facility in three More Trains

Extension of Unreserved Sleeper Class Ticket Facility in three More Trains

UNRESERVED SLEEPER CLASS COACH FACILITY IN THREE MORE TRAINS

■ BHUBANESWAR-RAMESWARAM EXPRESS BETWEEN BHUBANESWAR AND BRAHMAPUR

■ PURI-AHMEDABAD EXPRESS BETWEEN PURI AND BRAHMAPUR

■ TIRUPATI-PURI EXPRESS BETWEEN BRAHMAPUR AND PURI

East Coast Railway has planned to extend the Unreserved Sleeper Class Ticket facility in three more trains to facilitate passenger for a short distance Sleeper Class Journey. Short distance passengers can now avail Sleeper Class journey facility in these three trains from last week of February or fast week of March, 2020 by paying a little extra amount of the General Second Class Ticket fare.
These trains are 18496 Bhubaneswar-Rameswaram Express from 6th March, 2020 between Bhubaneswar and Brahmapur, 18401 Puri-Ahmedabad Express from 23rd February, 2020 between Puri and Brahmapur and 17480 Tirupati-Puri Express from 18th February, 2020 between Brahmapur and Puri.
Passengers can avail the Unreserved Sleeper Class journey ticket from the Unreserved Ticket Counters for the above trains at Puri, Bhubaneswar, Khurda Road, Brahmapur Stations and travel in earmarked S-6 Sleeper Class Coaches of the above trains for short journeys.
Passengers who are not getting seat in General Second Class Seating Coaches and travelling in Sleeper Class Coaches unauthorisedly, they can now travel in Unreserved Sleeper Class Coaches by paying a little more amount from the General Second Class ticket fare. Earlier, passengers who were not getting seat in Second Class Seating Coaches and travelling in Sleeper Class Coaches for a short journey were paying fine.
To cope with the situation and to facilitate passengers for short distance Unreserved Sleeper Class journey, ECoR introduced this facility in the above trains. Earlier, East Coast Railway introduced this facility in Konark Express between Bhubaneswar and Berhampur in 2011-12. After reviewing the position and acceptance by passengers with a positive response, ECoR had extended this facility in Visakha Express between Bhubaneswar and Palasa, from 4th November, 2014.
Till now, seven trains had facility of Unreserved Sleeper Class journey tickets for short distance Sleeper Class journey. These are: Konark Express from Bhubaneswar to Brahmapur, Visakha Express between Bhubaneswar and Visakhapatnam from both the directions, Prashanti Express from Brahmpur to Bhubaneswar, Rayagada-Vijayawada Express from Rayagada to Visakhapatnam, Visakhapatnam-Nizamuddin Express from Visakhapatnam to Rayagada from both the directions. With the addition of 3 more trains, the list of trains with unreserved Sleeper Class Coaches goes up to 10.

Signal turns red as velocity goes up
High wind velocity in Pamban, Mandapam and adjoining areas hit train services on the Pamban rail bridge, connecting the Rameswaram island to the mainland by rail on Friday.
Two passenger trains and Chennai-bound Rameswaram Express suffered delay of more than five hours as they were stranded at Mandapam, Pamban and Rameswaram after failing to get signal to pass through the bridge due to high wind velocity, official sources said.

The Madurai – Rameswaram Passenger, which was stopped at Mandapam Railway Station after it reached the station at 2.55 p.m. was allowed to proceed to the island after 7.30 p.m., the sources said.

First Green Corridor will be Manmadurai-Rameswaram railway track

First Green Corridor will be Manmadurai-Rameswaram railway track 

Stepping up efforts to make rail tracks discharge free zones, Indian Railways will convert into green corridor and zero toilet discharge section the nearly 114 km route between Rameswaram and Manmadurai in Tamil Nadu by the end of this month.
Stepping up efforts to make rail tracks discharge free zones, Indian Railways will convert into green corridor and zero toilet discharge section the nearly 114 km route between Rameswaram and Manmadurai in Tamil Nadu by the end of this month.
“Currently the trial is going on the route to ensure that the section becomes the first discharge free zone in railways. It will be formally declared as green corridor in the last week of May,” said a senior Railway Ministry official involved in the bio-toilet project.
A zero toilet discharge section envisages all trains passing on that particular route would have bio-toilets which eliminate open discharge of waste on the tracks.
There are about 14 stations between Rameswaram and Manmadurai and about 16 passenger trains use the track in a day.
All coaches of trains passing through the Manmadurai and Rameswaram section are now equipped with bio-toilets so there will be no waste discharge on the track, said the official.
Bio-toilets eliminate open discharge of waste on the track as the waste is digested by specially developed bacteria and only small amount of clean water is discharged in the process.
In the second phase, “Kanalus-Dwarka-Okha and Porbunder-Wansjalya section in Gujarat have been identified to be made zero toilet discharge sections.
“Our aim is to make tracks free from discharge of waste from toilets by installing environment-friendly zero discharge toilet system in the coaches and we will do it in phases,” he said.
According to the plan, Jammu-Katra route will also be made a zero-discharge section.
Railways have installed more than 20,000 bio-toilets in trains till now and has set a target to fit 17,000 more this fiscal.
It costs about Rs 3.5 lakh to install four Zero Discharge Toilet Systems in a coach.

BIO-TOILET FITTED COACHES OF RAMESWARAM EXPRESS FLAGGED OFF

Bhubaneswar-Rameswaram-Bhubaneswar Express via Visakhapatnam fitted with Boi-Toilets in all 23 coaches has been flagged off today at Bhubaneswar Railway Station by a Technician Grade Employee of East Coast Railway Shri G. Appa Rao who will be retiring this month in presence of Shri S. K. Choudhury, Addl. Divisional Railway Manager and all senior officers of Khurda Road Railway Division.

As the train is connecting important tourist destinations, it has aptly been decided for its conversion as “Green Train” by providing all its coaches with Bio-Toilets for a greener & Cleaner India. This train is a great initiative towards fulfilling the objectives of “Swachh Bharat Mission”.

Green toilet aims at Zero-defecation o­n to the ground, is environment-friendly, prevents damages to the track due to corrosion and no bad smell in toilets from the tanks, no infection of cockroaches and flies, effluent is free from odour and solid waste, no maintenance required, reduction in organic matter by 90% and no need for removal of solid waste.

East Coast Railway General manager had earlier this month fixed the target date of 30th November, 2015, for operationalisation of this Green Train.
