Indian Railways plan for Mumbai Local Trains

Thursday, November 20th, 2008

Indian Railway officials in Mumbai hope that several schemes in the pipeline and others that have been already executed will decongest Mumbai’s crowded suburban trains and stations.

Railway official’s proposal to have trains originate from and terminate at Grant Road is among the latest plans on the drawing board to ease the commute for lakhs of passengers of Western Railways in using Mumbai’s Suburban Train Service.

New services, more platforms on the railway network and augmenting the existing suburban railways 9-car services to 12 car ones are all part of the moves aimed at decongesting local suburban stations and mumbai’s suburban trains.

Mumbai suburban railways have introduced 4 new local train services last week on the newly inaugurated Dahanu-Panvel suburban line. Another 20 services, to be added when the Nerul-Turbhe suburban line opens in December, will benefit more than 75,000 passengers in Mumbai.

A few days ago, Western Railways Mumbai Suburban service introduced 23 new services on the over crowed Churchgate-Virar sector. These new services were part of plans to add 200 services in 2009. The remaining new services would be on the Dadar-Virar and Andheri-Bandra suburban sectors.

In the next 3 months (February 2009), work on the Dadar midtown railway terminus will be completed. The midtown terminus will cater to non-suburban trains first and then gradually to Mumbai’s local railway service. There are also proposals for two new suburban platforms at a cost of Rs.5 Crores at Dadar in Central Mumbai. The new platforms at Dadar Station will boost the capacity of this crowded station that gets millions of passengers from the Western Railways and Central Railways sections of the Mumbai Suburban service. This project along with Grand Road station expansion plan, will be submitted to the railway board in the next financial year.

There are also plan of two additional terminals at Andheri also as there is only one terminating platform there.

In the next 5 years Western Railways plans to have skywalks at all the major railway stations in Mumbai.

13 Ways to donate for Bihar Floods

 On August 18, 2008 heavy water in the Kosi River in Bihar caused the manmade embankment to fail. The Kosi river, also called the Sorrow of Bihar, abandoned the prescribed western channel for an old channel near the center of its alluvial fan and also spread out widely and inundated towns, villages and cultivated fields on the densely populated alluvial fan.

The extent of flooding can be visualized by considering that the record 25,000 m 3/sec flow could cover 2,160 square kilometers a meter deep in 24 hours. 2008 flood covered a vast area and disrupted the lives of 2.3 million people including approximately 100 deaths.

The river of sorrow, Kosi, is living up to its name by wreaking havoc on the people of North Bihar. Hundreds of villages, comprising almost half of Bihar have been affected so far.

We at Zee News, are resolved, that the task of helping the more than two million people displaced due to the crisis does not lie with the government alone. We appeal to you, our readers, to come forward and contribute in the relief work by donating money.
