The employees who fulfill the dream of monorail of millions of people are now not able to get what belongs to them. while interacting to employees we found that apart from salary, they have not clear the dues of PF, TDS etc. Not only staff member even vendors, suppliers, other agencies invoice has also became part of the cycle. Company is forcing employees to work from home without giving the salary surety.

The first Monorail system brought by a joint consortium which was led jointly by Larsen & Toubro and Scomi Engineering Pvt Ltd. As per the rule L&T give salary to employees who are working under it, similarly employees of Scomi paid by Scomi Engineering Pvt Ltd. Now employees of both companies have got sandwich between LTSE and Mumbai Metropolitan Regional Authority (MMRDA).

LTSE stated that, they have no issues to make employees payment and other dues, but we are running with shortage of funds resources and MMRDA being a principal employer is not properly collaborating with LTSE in respect of fund allocation.

Company employees says that, it has became very painful for us to work with Company, as we are not able to get for what we are working day night.

When some of staff member of company approached to MMRDA, they got unexpected response from MMRDA. “Resolving salary issues is not our business, we have to do nothing with this”, MMRDA says.

Now the question arises if MMRDA is not responsible for dealing salary issues and LTSE has no fund to make salary payment. Then who is responsible for funds allocation and if funds allocates to LTSE, where does funds go? And why employees has to suffer? All employees demanding the answer of all this question to LTSE and MMRDA. Not only India’s employees of LTSE are suffering even Malaysia’s employees have same condition.

Bengaluru: For HSRL, state government seeking fund from central government for completing the phase 2 project of Namma Metro from Gottigere to the Kempegowda International Airport (KIA) with High Speed Rail Link (HSRL).The project will carried out once the approval of central government is done. State Government official hoping cooperation of Central Government for this project.

“The project has not been shelved. We are ready to take it up between Yeshwantpur Railway station and KIA, provided the Centre agrees to it. We are also exploring an elevated lines as Yelanhanka to Devaanahalli is single line and is not electrified”, said Mahendra Jain, who is an additional chief secretary of urban development department.

“Namma Metro’s proposed airport connectivity won’t affect the HSRL project. Air passengers who want to travel quickly to and from the airport can use the high-speed trains.Others can use Namma Metro which has multiple stops. Both will serve different purposes,” Mahendra Jain, who is also managing director of BMRCL said.

Further he said that, “passengers can directly reach the airport, those travelling in high-speed trains may have to get off at the proposed station near Trumpet flyover and airport authorities may have to operate shuttle services to ferry passengers.”

E.Shreedharan, who is known as Metro Man of India also appreciated linking of HSRL to airport and said that, it is more better option than Metro.

BIAL CEO Hari Marar said that, “Considering Metro could take at least another four years to connect the airport to the city, suburban rail link could be an immediate option.Bangalore International Airport Limited (BIAL) is in discussion with the Karnataka government and the Railways to implement this service, which would benefit both passengers and employees.”

Delhi Metro Rail Corporation also given a hope to state government of Bengaluru with detailed project report to cover 33 km at 25 minutes with maximum speeds of 160 kmph. But HSRL project could not receive support from DMRC. And in 2016 an inspection and visit was done in Bengaluru by Rail India Technical Economic Services (RITES).

This was brought to the notice of Union railway minister Piyush Goyal during his meeting at ICF on Thursday evening. Goyal was told by ICF officials that the directives of a section of Railway Board officials are contrary to Goyal’s own orders as well as the NDA government’s ‘Make in India‘ plan.

After he was briefed, Goyal called the railway board officials as well as instructed his personal secretary that ICF’s coach manufacturing plans should not be scaled down at all. “The minister wants ICF to manufacture at least 6,000 coaches every year. ICF’s internal target is around 3,200,” said highly placed railway sources.

The Railway Board argued about the increased number of LHB coaches when there was no demand from railway board side now it would lead to early condemnation of ICF design coaches. This was opposed by ICF officials stating that there was a huge demand for LHB coaches as they have better safety features than ICF coaches.

ICF’s manufacturing output has been consistently growing at around 10% every year. In 2016-17, the unit manufactured 2,277 coaches and in 2017-18, it went up to 2,503 and in 2018-19 they planned for 3,000 coaches.

Railway two types coaches and they are ICF and LHB. The ICF stands for Integral Coach Factory and The LHB stands for Linke Hofmann Busch. LHB coaches have a much wider window as compared to ICF which provides a big picture of the landscape and makes journey beautiful.

“In a manufacturing industry, it is not easy to scale down after scaling up for so many years. Many allied contractors, as well as downstream industries, are dependent on ICF,” said a senior official.

Around 800 LHB coaches will be exported to Sri Lanka in the next few weeks and the consignment is ready, sources said.
