Phase-3 will run a new metro from Janakpuri West to Noida’s Botanical Garden. It has been named the Magenta Line. On this line, the part from Kalkaji temple to Botanical Gardens has started since December 25 last year. Now the line from Janakpuri West to Kalkaji temple is yet to start. The opening of this section will greatly benefit the people of West Delhi. They will get direct connectivity to go to South Delhi and Noida. Right now, through the Blue Line, it has to cross 28 stations to reach the Botanical Garden from Janakpuri West. Only 24 stations will have to cross the Majanta line. From this line, people will be able to travel directly to the Domestic Airport terminal 1-D. From Vasant Vihar to Kalindi Kunj, the entire South Delhi will also be connected directly to West Delhi via Metro. Hauz Khas’s interchange station will also be linked to this line.

Delhi Metro | DMRC fails to manage dust and check air pollution at three construction sites
New Delhi: The Ministry of Environment and Forests (MoEF) has ordered Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) and 25 other construction sites to “stop work” for failing to implement mandatory dust mitigation measures meant to check air pollution in the national capital. The work of construction sites will be allowed to start again after complying with dust control norms as prescribed by the Ministry.
Delhi Metro Phase III Construction Work Site
Delhi Metro Phase III Construction Work Site
The construction projects include three sites of the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation, four of the National Highway Authority of India, seven under the Delhi Public Works Department, two Delhi Development Authority sites and one each under the Delhi Jal Board and MTNL. Three under BSES and two projects of Tata Power Delhi Distribution Limited were also suspended. The MoEF sent notices under Section 5 of the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986, to all the projects.In the National Capital Region (NCR), dust is the second highest source of pollution and contributes significantly to the dip in air quality especially during winter months.On January 25, the Ministry notified an amendment to the Environment Protection Rules, making it mandatory for all projects requiring clearances to implement dust mitigation measures. It also asked all major infrastructure agencies to implement dust mitigation measures by March 31 or face suspension of construction work.According to Secretary Ministry of Environment and Forest  C K Mishra, the had sent notices in first week of this month to stop construction-related work pertaining to 25 projects across Delhi-NCR.
We sent out very cordial letters asking major construction companies to comply with dust mitigation measures. Following that, we sent out 20-25 CPCB teams to check on projects. The teams came back with specific photographs, based on which notices were issued.  Construction agencies need to show that they have complied with specific dust control measures, laid out in the notices, before the ministry will allow work to re-start.
– C K Mishra, Secretary Ministry of Environment and Forest.
Specifically, among the PWD projects, notices have been issued to stop certain works related to the construction of flyovers, drains, small bridges, culverts, footpaths, and the widening of the outer ring road.The reasons range from “demolished material kept uncovered” to “dust emissions from digging of roads”.In the Haiderpur-Badli Metro station site, road demolition for cable work has been stopped due to emission from road digging and open dumping of excavated soil.At another site, construction work was stopped for open dumping and lack of windbreakers.Earlier, Mishra had said that the MoEF was “deeply concerned” by the lack of dust mitigation measures and that it had requested major construction agencies to put in place measures, failing which work will be constrained or suspended.

PM Modi flags-off the first 12,000 horsepower electric locomotive in Madhepura

Madhepura (Bihar): Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri. Narendra Modi dedicated the ‘Make in India’ Madhepura Electric Locomotive Facility to the nation and remotely flagged off the country’s first all-electric locomotive from Madhepura in Bihar on Tuesday. Manufactured in India, under a landmark Joint Venture between Alstom (76%) and Indian Railways (24%), this electric locomotive project marks a transformational step change for rail freight movement in India as well as the region of Madhepura.

Each ‘WAG12’ double section locomotive, part of Alstom’s Prima locomotives family, is capable of hauling 6,000 tonnes, at a maximum speed of 120 km/h, thanks to its 12,000 Horsepower – allowing faster and safer movement of heavier freight trains across the country. The electric locomotives will eventually move to the testing and maintenance depot at Saharanpur in Uttar Pradesh before being introduced to the mainline network as part of the freight fleet. This electric locomotive was completed, on schedule, in February 2018, while the second loco will roll out in 2019.

“It is a matter of great pride and privilege for Alstom to have Hon’ble Prime Minister of India flagging off our first complete electric locomotive and dedicating the Madhepura facility to the nation. There can be no stronger endorsement of our efforts towards ‘Make in India’ and skilling initiatives in the country. Alstom is proud to partner with the Indian Railways on this transformational journey towards a sustainable future in mobility in the country,” said Alain Spohr, Managing Director, India & South Asia, Alstom.

“We are confident that this facility will also pave the way for the industrial development in Bihar and will act as a gateway of opportunities for the region”, he added.

In Madhepura, the company is working towards developing an ecosystem to enable local manufacturers to set up manufacturing units in and around the area. Alstom’s active and targeted community action programme at Madhepura focusing on skill development and education will further prepare more than 5000 young minds for gainful employment. The company will adopt a local ITI to provide skill development to 840 students over the next 10 years. Of these, 300 students will be absorbed by Alstom for apprenticeship programmes within the facility. This will work in tandem with focused scholarship programmes for meritorious students in schools in the area to develop children from an early age as well.

Other initiatives for supporting the local communities include healthcare interventions by the company like mobile medical units in the area with doctors on board, health and wellness awareness camps, free medication distribution and special services for women and children.
