Shri G. Galaiah: From the age 15 years, he had actively participated in the freedom movement of India. He was also involved in the operation polo led by Shri Sardar Vallabh bhai patel. During student agitation at Parakala, he was sent to Warangal sub jail.

The flagging off event of Telangana Express was aimed at honoring our freedom fighters to celebrate 75 years of Indian Independence. The freedom fighters expressed happiness and appreciated the efforts of Railways for undertaking this noble initiative to promote the rich legacy of India’s freedom movement.

Carbon Emission and Diesel Consumption Reduced By introduction of HOG in Telangana Express

Carbon Emission and Diesel Consumption Reduced By introduction of  HOG in Telangana Express
No.420/2019-20

Secunderabad

Head-On-Generation (HOG) system - A new Technology introduced in Telangana Express
Head o­n Generation system, a new technology has been introduced in Telangana Express which is started today i.e., 07th August 2019 for catering the power needs of the coaches such as coach lighting and Air conditioning.
Earlier, there were two power cars known as End o­n Generators (EOG) are available o­n both the ends of Telangana Express for providing lighting and air conditioning in the coaches. These power cars produce electricity by diesel generator for supplying to coaches. Each power car required 40 litres of diesel per hours per non ac coach and around 65 to 70 litres of diesel per hour per coach in case of AC coach.
In order to lessen diesel consumption and carbon footprint, a state-of-the-art new technology Head o­n Generation (HOG) system has been introduced in Telangana Express. So far, the power supply tapped from power lines through pantograph to the train engine is used o­nly to run the engine and haul the coaches. Now in this new system power supply tapped from overhead to the train engine will be distributed to the trailing coaches.
This new system does not require any diesel oil consumption and as such will reduces air pollution and also noise pollution. In addition, it also provides uninterrupted illumination in the coaches. o­n an average it will reduce carbon emission by 700 MT per year per train in regular practice for a train provided with two power cars equipped with diesel alternator sets. The average expenditure incurred o­n fuel consumption per trip per each train of Telangana Express is around Rs 2 lakhs. Whereas the electrical energy consumption cost per trip per train in the new system is around Rs. 78,000/-. The estimated savings for each trip of Telangana Express is approximately Rs 1.22 lakh and the overall estimated savings per year is around Rs. 1.35 crore.
All the existing Telangana Express trains will now run o­n Head o­n Generation System. Two more trains namely Train No. 22707/22708 Visakhapatnam- Tirupati- Visakhapatnam Express and Train No. 22705/22706 Tirupati - Jammutawi -Tirupati Humsafar Express are also running with the new technology of Head o­n Generation system from South Central Railway.
Shri Gajanan Mallya, General Manager, South Central Railway appreciated the efforts of staff and officers of SCR o­n this achievement and advised to extend the same for some more trains to adopt environmentally friendly initiatives by reducing carbon foot prints and also fuel consumption measures.

Telangana: Pensioners above 70 to get 15 percent more

Telangana: Pensioners above 70 to get 15 percent more
Hyderabad: The state government is all set to pay an additional 15 per cent pension to pensioners who have completed 70 years of age. At present, this benefit is extended to those who have completed 75 years of age.
The Pay Revision Commission appointed in 2013 had recommended enhancement  of pension under ‘quantum of pension’ scheme for those who completed 70 years  of age.
Though the TS government implemented all the recommendations made by PRC on hike in salaries, allowances and pensions, the recommendation on quantum of  pension was kept on hold.
Pensioners who completed 70 years of age have been requesting the government for long to implement PRC recommendations in this regard. Teacher MLC Paturi Sudhakar Reddy, chief whip in the TS Legislative Council, took up the issue with Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao.
The CM agreed to relax the age limit and asked finance department to submit  proposals in this regard. “This is a long  pending demand of pensioners. We thank the CM for approving  our demand. With 75 years as the cut-off, very few pensioners could avail the  benefit. The age relaxation would enable more pensioners to avail the benefit,” Mr  Reddy said.

Hyderabad Metro : Commercial operations of Hyderabad Metro Rail’s will start on June 2

Hyderabad Metro : Commercial operations of Hyderabad Metro Rail’s will start on June 2
Hyderabad: Commercial operations of Hyderabad Metro Rail’s first phase will start on June 2, on the occasion of Telangana Formation Day. The state government is trying its best to get Prime Minister Narendra Modi to inaugurate the Metro Rail on the day.

Minister for municipal administration and urban development K.T. Rama Rao said on Thursday that all the required works, including tests and trials and certifications for the Metro, would be completed by then. The first phase includes Stage-1 from Nagole to Secunderabad railway station (about 9 km) under Corridor-III and stage-2 from Miyapur to SR Nagar (11.9 km) under Corridor-I.

A total of 20 km will be opened up for commercial operations on June 2. In fact, the Nagole-Mettuguda stretch (8 km) was complete and was meant to commence operations on Ugadi 2015 but was put on hold as there would have been revenue losses.

The state government and L&T then decided to extend the stretch up to the Secunderabad railway station. Currently, works between Mettuguda and Secunderabad are on.

The Miyapur and SR Nagar stretch, including the Bharatnagar Rail overbridge, was completed in 2015 and trial runs were held last October. During a test run in December 2015, Mr Rama Rao had announced that these stretches would be opened in early 2016.

The stretches that will be operational from June 2 have been ready for months but were delayed owing to several reasons. At present, 72 km of Metro lines are being constructed in three different corridors in the twin cities.

Mr Rama Rao, while announcing the 100-day action plan for the city said, “The state government authorities are on the job to get Prime Minister Narendra Modi to inaugurate the first phase. Further details will be announced by the Chief Minister once we get the green signal from the Centre.”
