Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs gave approval to construction of a third line

Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs gave approval to construction of a third line

New Delhi: To cope with local demand and smoothen rail traffic, the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs on Wednesday gave approval to construction of a third line on several busiest railway routes, including Itarsi-Nagpur, Jhansi-Bina and Mathur-Jhansi sections.

The CCEA meeting was chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

The 280 km-long third line between Itarsi and Nagpur, given approval, is estimated to cost Rs 2,449.91 crore — with anticipated completion cost pegged at Rs 2,882.94 crore — and is expected to be completed in five years.

Besides facilitating travel, the line will provide additional transport capacity for industries in and around the Itarsi-Nagpur section.

Hoshangabad, Chhindwara and Betul districts of Madhya Pradesh and Nagpur district of Maharashtra will be covered by this line.

The CCEA also gave its approval for construction of a third line between Ballarshah and Kazipet at an estimated cost of Rs 2,063.03 crore and expected completion cost of Rs 2,403.22 crore.

The 201.04 km-long railway line is expected to be completed in five years.

Besides facilitating travel, power plants, coal and cement traffic will have additional transport capacity to meet their requirements. Warangal, Adilabad and Karimnagar districts of Telengana and Chandrapur district of Maharashtra will be covered by this line.

CCEA also approved the construction of a third line between Jhansi-Bina and Mathura-Jhansi.

Besides facilitating the travel, goods trains passing through both these sections will get adequate capacity for smooth running.

Jhansi and Lalitpur districts of Uttar Pradesh and Sagar district (Bina) of Madhya Pradesh will be covered by Jhansi-Bina line while Mathura, Agra and Jhansi districts of Uttar Pradesh, Datiya, Gwalior and Morena districts of Madhya Pradesh and Dholpur district of Rajasthan will be covered by the Mathura-Jhansi line.

The Mathura-Jhansi section is a broad gauge double-line on the New Delhi-Mumbai CST route. These projects will enhance capacity, reduce detention and cater for future growth of traffic.

At present, the number of passenger and goods trains on these sections is far more than the capacity, resulting in heavy detention for trains.

The construction of a third line between Vijaywada Junction and Gudur Junction was also given the nod by the CCEA.

Krishna, Guntur, Prakasham and P.S. Nellore districts of Andhra Pradesh will be covered by this line.

The construction of a third line between Rajnandgaon-Nagpur (Kalumna) in Rajnandgaon district of Chhattisgarh and Gondia, Bhandara and Nagpur districts in Maharashtra was also given the CCEA nod.

CCEA also approved the construction of a third line between Kharagpur (Nimpura) and Adityapur in West Singhburn districts of Jharkhand.

This line will ease the ever-increasing freight traffic between these sections.

The CCEA gave its approval for construction of a fourth line between Jharsuguda and Bilaspur.

The Jharsuguda-Bilaspur route forms part of the Howrah-Mumbai trunk route passing through major industrial areas. This line plays an important role in transportation of freight and passenger traffic from eastern and southern regions to northern and western regions, and vice versa. In order to meet the growth in the freight and passenger traffic, construction of fourth line on this route was essential.

The CCEA also approved the construction of a second line between New Bongaigaon and Kamakhya of Northeast Frontier Railway in Assam.

The single main line section from New Bongaigaon to Kamakhya via Goalpara is an alternative route to New Bongaigaon-Kamakhya via Rangiya linking Guwahati.

The doubling of New Bongaigaon-Kamakhya via Goalpara route would augment the line capacity for smooth running of trains through the section.

IRCTC move to provide online cab services

IRCTC  move to provide online cab services

IRCTC cab service plan sparks protest

Agra: Protesting against the Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC) move to provide online cab services, to ferry tourist in and around Agra and Mathura, Agra Cantt station driver and tour operators union has alleged that IRCTC did not consult them even once before launching the service. 

There are total 220 registered cabs and 550 taxi at Agra Cantt station that have been ferrying tourists in and around of Agra for last 40 years.

Speaking to TOI, Riyaz Usmani, vice president of union said, "We don't understand, how IRCTC can ignore our presence and prefer to hire new tour operators. Our union has been working for last 40 years here. IRCTC is hurting our livelihood as nearly 770 drivers and their families are associated with the business at Agra Cantt station." 

He said, "We all drivers are qualified, well-aware of local places and are accredited by the department of tourism. This is totally absurd on the part of IRCTC, that they have not given us chance to work in collaboration with them." 

Sandeep Dutta, public relation officer of IRCTC, said, "We are not giving any kind of favor to anyone. It was open tender and all tour operators were free to participate in it." 

In a bid to encourage tourism and provide hassle free cab service, IRCTC will be launching cab service between Agra-Mathura and Fatehpur Sikri this week. It will provide an option on its website to book cab other than train tickets for the same. 

The service will need to be booked at least 36 hours in advance so that the allotment of individual taxis and porters can arranged. The facilities can be reserved while booking tickets through IRCTC website. The passengers will be provided details about the cab 45 minutes before the arrival of the train at the destination. 

A passenger will need to pay Rs 1,500-1,600 for a half-day ride, which will take him to local monuments, while for full-day one has to pay Rs 2700 in which cab service provider can take the tourist to Mathura or Fatehpur Sikri to tour forts and other religious places. 

Meanwhile, UP tourism has also come up with a plan to give around 35 tour packages to tourists.

BJP MP Hema Malini today said that she wants Mathura railway station to be developed in such a way that it reflects birthplace of Lord Krishna.

Mathura (MTJ): BJP MP Hema Malini today said that she wants Mathura railway station to be developed in such a way that it reflects birthplace of Lord Krishna.
“Mathura railway station should be a blend of heritage look with modernisation like escalator and better waiting rooms for general class passengers. Instead of taking rest on the ground, the passengers in general waiting rooms should be provided benches,” Malini said.

 “Mathura station must be developed in such a way that it reflects birthplace of Lord Krishna,” she added.

 She was here to inaugurate third entry systems with ticket booking facility at Mathura station.

 Stressing on the need to make the station neat and clean, she appealed to the passengers not to spit on the pillars.

 Appreciating the catering system, the MP said that for other facilities she would discuss with the Railway Minister.

 The MP suggested that more coaches should be added to trains running between Mathura and Vrindavan.

 Agra’s Divisional Railway Manager Prabhash Kumar said that he will try to get funds from MPLAD for giving heritage look to Mathura station.

 “I will try to get amount from Member of Parliament Local Area Development (MPLAD) fund for giving heritage look to Mathura station,” Kumar said.

 “For maintaining cleanliness at Mathura station, washing apron system of boulders is in operation,” he said.

 He refuted the charge of mass cancellation of tickets owing to Gujjar agitation.

 “While most of the trains are commuting on Agra-Bina-Nagda route, few are passing through Bandikui and Jaipur,” he said.

 He informed that the work of 113 rail underbridges and overbridges in Agra division has been given green signal by the Ministry of Railways.

 Clearance has also been received for connecting circulating area with platform number 2 and 4, the DRM said.

It is located approximately 50 kilometres north of Agra, and 145 kilometres south-east of Delhi; about 11 kilometres from the town of Vrindavan, and 22 kilometres from Govardhan.
