Delhi Metro | Time for Delhi metro to think about traffic congestion in South Delhi

New Delhi: Delhi is facing heavy traffic congestion particularly at peak hours in South Delhi, meeting points of roads going towards Gurugram, Vasant Kunj and other areas of south Delhi, the Chhatarpur Metro station is considered the main cause of traffic congestion. South Delhi is an administrative district which connects Delhi to the south towards Haryana, Gurgaon to the south-west part of Haryana.

The last mile connectivity such as rickshaw, e-rickshaw, busses, autos and Grameen Seva used by Delhi Mero users adds to chaos whereas private cars use the road beneath the elevated corridor of the yellow line to reach metro parking and there are bus stops on either side of the station where public transport coaches stops in a careless manner.

Commuters complaining about the noticeable traffic problem, redevelopment project is in mind of both station and Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) that not only promises smooth flow of traffic but also a green plaza. “ A large vacant patch between the compound wall and slip road was available, it was not fully utilized, so it will now become the green plaza with pedestrian walkways” said by a spokesman. A new toilet block will also be created.

“ A large vacant patch between the compound wall and slip road was available, it was not fully utilized, so it will now become the green plaza with pedestrian walkways” said by a spokesman.

DMRC is planning more organized pathways as well because of random and chaotic movement of pedestrians. A DMRC spokesperson said “traffic circulation is being reoriented as part of its multimodal integration plan. It intends to put in place another entry /exit towards Mehrauli-Gurugram road for easy access to para-transit users  like autos and to enable easy approach for pedestrians.”

“Parking bays have been created for autorickshaws, Grameen Seva, and feeder buses. Cycle rickshaw will also be provided space.” Said by DMRC spokesperson “The movement of busses will be regulated under the new plan so that the junction towards Vasant Kunj is decongested”

The Delhi High Court has stated that closing down on metro services will cause a lot of inconvenience to the commuters. High Court has extended the order and restrained the metro staff from going on strike.

As per current data, approximately 13,000 are employed in Delhi Metro and there is over 11,000 non-executive staffs.

Justice Pratibha Rani extended the interim order has directed the metro employees not to go on strike till further orders and sought their response on a petition by the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation seeking that they be restrained from going on a strike.

The High Court in an ex-parte interim order on June 29, had restrained DMRC staff from going on their planned strike starting from June 30. The stay has been order by HC stating that it will cause huge inconvenience to commuters.

The matter is no listed for further hearing on September 4. HC has issued notice to officer bearers of DMRC staff council who were not served notice earlier.

The court wanted to know from Additional Solicitor General (ASG) Sandeep Sethi, appearing on behalf of DMRC, whether the petition would be infructuous currently as the planned strike date of June 30 is over.

Sethi in his reply has stated that the pleas cannot be infructuous as the employees have given three notices stating that they will go to strike if their demands are not fulfilled.

Advocate Rajeev Mishra, appearing for some of the office bearers of the staff council, urged the court to direct the DMRC to file an affidavit that it will stand by the terms of settlement arrived at between the employer and the employees in 2017.

The court on the other stated that it was a subject of arguments and would be dealt with afterwards. It had passed the interim order during summer vacations holding that, prima facie, the action of the metro staff does not seem to be reasonable or lawful.

The court has said that DMRC is operating a public utility service that is used by over 25 lakh commuters in Delhi. These commuters hail from middle class background and use metro for daily commute. Sufficient notice has not been given to the DMRC and the conciliation proceedings are still in progress.

Sufficient notice has not been given to the DMRC and the conciliation proceedings are still in progress.

It had said Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) is running a public utility service which caters to around 25 lakh citizens of Delhi, who come largely from the middle-income group, on a daily basis and sufficient notice has not been given to the DMRC and the conciliation proceedings are still in development.

The DMRC has challenged three notices given by DMRC staff council and DMRC employees union of June 14, 18 and 20 respectively and sought direction to pin them down from going on strike.

A previous correspondence was furnished showcasing understanding between the corporation and employees. Minutes of meeting held involving its representatives and the DMRC staff council which clearly hinted that a settlement was arrived at between them on July 23 last year.

The court had said it seems that there were disputes concerning execution of the terms of the settlement and it is the claim of the employees that the terms of the settlement have not be completely implemented to date. However, the DMRC maintained that the staff council was raising additional demands that were unjustified.

As per records DMRC’s total liability stands at around Rs 38,685.03 crore to date.

Metro staff members had also staged demonstrations at various metro stations including the Shahdara and Yamuna Bank stations from June 19. The protest was to gain support for their eight-point demand list that they had put forward to DMRC.

The council members have been protesting on several issues. These include modification of the DMRC Staff Council as an employees union, revision of pay scale to conditions on sacking employees.

Tender out for the first bullet train by NHSRCL to meet deadline

New Delhi: The central government is eyeing to roll out country’s first bullet train by August 2022. This is advancing the deadline which was fixed in 2023. In order to speed up work, National High Speed Rail Corporation Limited (NHSRCL) has already floated the first tender for the Bullet Train project.

Central government is still facing resistance from locals for land acquisition in Maharashtra and Gujarat. As per the details the first tender is for constructing a bridge in Navsari district of Gujarat. NHSRCL officials are also engaged with residents to amicably resolve the land acquisition issue. This first bridge is part of the 60 bridges planned on the 508-km high-speed corridor.

NHSRCL is optimistic that the land acquisition issue is closer to being resolved. They feel that there is a gradual end to the stalemate over the issue. The first ray of hope is coming from Palghar in Maharashtra. It is here that the NHSRCL officials have been facing resistance from farmers with support from Shiv Sena and MNS.

It was an advertorial in Saamana magazine – a Sena mouthpiece that highlighted that benefits of the bullet train as well as compensation packages offered. The write hinted for a possible breakthrough in the long deadlock between the residents and authorities.

In a innovative move, NHSRCL decided to rope in women from the 73 villages where land has been identified for the project. These women are trained to interact and counsel villagers on compensation packages offered by the officials. They are also an important link between the villagers and NHRSCL engineers.

A 15-member women team from different blocks has been set up to give details on the compensation packages being offered and the exact land prerequisite.

NHSRCL spokesman, Dhananjay Kumar shared that they have been able to establish dialogue with all the concerned people in the villages. This is to ensure there are no misunderstandings and also they know what the officials are offering in terms of compensation.

NHRSCL are happy that the method is working as they now get entry into villages where they were barred from entering.

On the other hand women are engaged in documentation task enlisting the needs of the villages with regards to NHSRCL project. These include taking care of medical facilities to constructing a boundary wall around water bodies that act as a source of irrigation for multiple villages.

Out of the 1,400 hectares of land, NHSRCL has only acquired 0.9 hectares of land. The officials feel they will be able to stick to the timeline as they expect to begin civil works by December 2018-January 2019. In Palghar, the project require around 300 hectares of land. The total land acquisition cost has been set at approximately Rs 10,000 crore.

NHSRCL has decided to disclose the compensation matrix to all land owners and offer time to them to come up with necessary corrections.  The NHSRCL has also decided to offer a one-time compensation to agricultural workers as well as those who employmed in shops which are likely to be negatively impacted.

Navi Mumbai metro project delayed, commuters may start ride in 2020.

Mumbai: The city and Industrial Development Corporation (CIDCO) has announced that by Navi Mumbai first phase of the metro project will be ready by May 2019. Commuters will take the first ride only by April 2020, said on Wednesday.

A senior official said that The project has been delayed by a year as the planning agency has not been able to finish the development of the metro stations on time.

The first package includes six stations, the second package has five stations. For the first phase of the project, almost 11 stations are ready.

Senior public relations officer of Cisco, Mohan Ninawa said “The contract of building platforms was given to a consortium of Sanjose-Mahavir-Supreme. But we terminated the contract last year as the work was slow and they were unable to finish work in stipulated time”. “The contract of building platforms was given to a consortium of Sanjose-Mahavir-Supreme. But we terminated the contract last year as the work was slow and they were unable to finish work in stipulated time”.

In the second packages, there are three sub packages. In which 1st sub package consists of stations 7 and 8, in the second sub-package station 9 and 11 and station 10 is in the third one.

Ninawe said that “We have received a few responses after we divided the second package. All formalities of awarding the contract should be over by this month-end or mid-August”.

The companies will take at least 10 months to finish work after the contracts are awarded, said by the officials from the engineering department.

He said “We have received a few responses after we divided the second package. All formalities of awarding the contract should be over by this month-end or mid-August”.

Navi Mumbai Metro project is divided into four phases. A total length of this route is 11.10 kilometers. The first phase is now under implementation it starts from Belapur railway station and ends at Pendhar near Taloja.

Apart from eleven stations this route at Taloja a depot cum workshop is being built. 3063.63 crore is the approximate budget allocated for this phase. The second phase has been planned in between Taloja MIDC to Khandeshwar. The third phase will connect between Pender and Taloja MIDC and the fourth phase will connect Khandeshwar and upcoming Navi Mumbai International Airport (NMIA) near Pannel.

Ninawe said “In the first phase we have completed 100 percent works of the viaducts (the bridges that connect the stations). The work of the railway crossings are going on in full swing and those will be ready by February, next year”.

Mrinali Sharma, 35, a resident of Taloja said The local residents are upset as Cisco is delaying with the project. “It takes around an hour to reach my office at Belapur by bus. Cidco is saying that by metro trains it will take just 18 minutes to reach Belapur from Taloja.”

Cidco was supposed to finish the first phase last year. Earlier this year, they said that it would be ready by May 2019. “And now they are delaying by another year. We hope this deadline will not change,”
