Faridabad: Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar on Saturday said metro rail service would be extended up to Greater Faridabad after its expansion from YMCA Chowk to Ballabgarh is done.

An official release quoting the Chief Minister said people who have constructed houses on government land would not be made homeless, rather they would be given ownership after charging them the current market rate of the land.

Unauthorised colonies would be regularised after charging a development fee, it said. Addressing a rally here, Khattar said, “Everyone is aware of the system that used to be in the state and the country. Corruption was at peak but BJP soon controlled it after coming to power. So far, in our tenure, no one has levelled any allegation of corruption against any BJP leader.”

BJP government had put a check on graft with the help of information technology. Today, there are more than 50 services which are accessible online in Haryana and people can avail its benefit anytime, the Chief Minister said, claiming graft in tehsils has been eliminated by introducing e-registration.

Speaking about reforms in police administration, he said the state government has introduced such a system that FIR could be registered in any police station irrespective of the place of crime.

Stating that development works amounting to Rs 133 crore would be undertaken in Ballabgarh Assembly constituency, Khattar said the developmental suggestions by local MP and Union MoS Krishan Pal Gujjar and MLA Mool Chand Sharma would be completed on the basis of feasibility. Earlier, the Chief Minister laid foundation stones of four new development projects and dedicated one project to the people in Sector 15-A.

Gurgaon: The movement to extend the Metro rail network to old Gurgaon has got a fresh impetus, with the Haryana government roping in Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) to conduct a feasibility study for the proposed route.

Additional chief secretary of town and country planning department, P Raghvendra Rao, told TOI on Wednesday that the state government has written to DMRC for conducting the feasibility study and it will start the work at the earliest.

“We have decided to take the help of DMRC for the proposed Metro route, which will connect old Gurgaon with new Gurgaon,” he said.

“On the basis of the feasibility report, we will take a call on the extension of the Metro network to the old city. We will also decided whether to engage some other agency for execution of the proposal or continue with DMRC, after getting the report,” he added.

Earlier the state government had invited quotations for conducting a feasibility study, following which three companies – DIMTS, UMTC and RITES – had come forward. DMRC had not submitted any quotation on the ground that they do not want to compete with other consultancy organisation for taking up the work.

According to a response to an RTI query, filed by activist Aseem Takyar, DMRC has expressed its desire to work only on mutually agreed terms and condition.

Delhi Metro | DMRC achieves tunnel breakthrough at Naraina

By

New Delhi: The DMRC today achieved a tunnel breakthrough of Delhi Metro’s Phase – III project at Naraina by completing the tunneling on the under construction Delhi Cantt – Narina Vihar- Mayapuri of the Majlis Park – shiv Vihar (Line-7) corridor. Dr. Mangu Singh, Managing Director/DMRC and other senior DMRC officials were also present during the event.

The Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM) emerged at Mayapuri retrival shaft site after making a 1.2 KM long tunnel from Delhi Cant. The tunneling on this stretch began on 2nd February 2015. The maximum depth of the tunnel is 22 meters below the earth’s surface.

This is another engineering landmark for DMRC as the TBM was dragged through the Naraina vihar station instead of retrieval it after installing 803 meters (578 rings) due to paucity of space for creating a shaft on the ground. The TBM was dragged about 210 meters and took about one month and was carried out by M/s J. Kumar-CRTG.

Generally, TBMs are retrieved through custom made retrieval shafts and then re-inserted through launching shafts in the new location. But such conventional engineering would have involved construction of separate retrieval and launching shafts, which would have required more land and displacement of properties above.

In addition, the process would have required a month each approximately for the retrieval and then the launching of the TBM. To avoid these hassles, the TBM shield was dragged using push ram cylinders.

Hyderabad Metro | Design changes in Metro Rail stations

By
Narendra Shah

Hyderabad: The Hyderabad Metro rail authorities were forced to do a design tweak at a few places because of topography, right of way and underground utilities across the three corridors though uniform design standardisation was done to 63 of 66 overhead stations.

The very basic design of an overhead metro station was changed in the initial stages itself by discarding the ‘tunnel’ shape to that of a cantilever built on a single pier and on the principle of bird wing so as to occupy as much less space as possible on the road below, said HMR Managing Director N.V.S. Reddy.

“Each station by itself is a technical and location challenge,” he explains. Standard size of any station is 140 metres by 20 metres as can be observed in the near completed stretches between Nagole and Mettuguda (Corridor Three) and from Miyapur to S.R. Nagar (Corridor One).

Each station on 10 piers will have four entries and four exits, but the landings depend on the road width as it varies anywhere from 100 ft to 200 ft.

It has been envisioned to provide four lanes passageway for traffic under station and three lanes in a few places because of either high tension power lines or water pipelines underneath.

Below any station there will have two staircases, one escalator and one lift at the ends depending on the site conditions otherwise preferably; it will be towards the centre. Stations will be of two levels – concourse and platform. From concourse to platform, there will be four staircases, four escalators and two lifts – common for all stations.

Concourse level will be unpaid and atop the platform will be through a paid ticket. No commercial activity will be allowed on the platforms and there will be just a few seats.

But, Hi-Tec City station will be just half the length of other stations and half a concourse because of the road level and Jubilee Hills check post station being on a steep gradient will not be having any concourse “otherwise the pillar will be too high”. Boarding will be at 60 ft straight onto the platform, says Y. Suresh, Deputy Executive Engineer, HMR.

When the standard stations height is about 50 ft from ground, Punjagutta station will be at a height of 62 ft, have two concourses and will be on a ‘U’ shaped portal rather than a pier like others as it crosses the flyover. Interesting construction is also going on at the metro interchange stations of Ameerpet, MGBS (Imlibun) and Parade Grounds where land was acquired after much difficulty.

Ameerpet (Corridor One on top and Corridor Three down) and MGBS stations (Corridor Two up and Corridor One down) will be single buildings and ‘triangle shaped’ whereas Parade Grounds interchange station between Corridor two and Corridor Three will have two separate buildings as the metro lines will be parallel having its own exits and entries.

Patna Metro | Chance to have Metro Train dims; Nitish reverses previous decisions

Patna: “Patna, previously known as Pataliputra, has a history that goes back thousands of years. I will not allow metro train to come to Patna until some new technique is used to save the historical value of the ancient city,” Kumar said.

Interestingly, the Nitish government, less than two months ago on December 22, had given his nod to the Patna Metro Rail Project and had asked Maheshwar Hazari, the Urban Development Minister, to send the Detailed Project Report (DPR) to the Central government for its clearance.

The DPR was submitted by the Rail India Technical and Economic Service (RITES) in 2014 with an estimated cost of Rs. 14,000 crore to build the metro transit system.

In other backtracking by the state government, the Chief Minister, nearly six months after barring anyone to contest in Panchayat elections if they did not meet the minimum requirement of having at least one indoor toilet at their home, reversed his decision saying the rule was too tough on poor people who wished to contest in the upcoming Panchayat polls.

The decision was taken at a meeting of the cabinet on Tuesday attended by Kumar and other senior ministers.

“Considering there are many qualified people who happen to be very poor, this requirement is being waived for the March-April Panchayat elections in Bihar, said an official.

As reported, in order to stop human defecation in open fields, the state government had passed an amendment to the Bihar Panchayati Raj Act of 2006 last August preventing anyone from contesting the election if the candidate did not have at least one indoor bathroom in their home by January 1, 2016.

With the January 1 deadline already gone with no substantial improvement in the problem of open defecation, the Chief Minister decided to repeal the amendment.

Noida Metro | NMRC asks Centre to take 50% stake, fund its projects

By

Noida: The Noida Metro Rail Corporation (NMRC) has requested the ministry of urban development (MoUD) to accept a 50% stake in the company. If the ministry accepts the request, then the NMRC will become eligible for financial assistance from the Centre for projects in Noida, Greater Noida and Yamuna Expressway areas.

“We have proposed that the Centre should have a 50% stake in the NMRC. We have put forth this proposal because it will help us in getting the government’s financial assistance for ongoing and future metro projects,” said Rama Raman, chairman of Noida, Greater Noida and Yamuna Expressway authorities.

The NMRC was formed in November 2014 with a capital of Rs 1,000 crore to build and maintain metro projects in Uttar Pradesh, on the lines of the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC).

As per the proposal, the MoUD will have 50% equity in the NMRC, but the Centre will be bound to provide only 20% funds for each metro project undertaken by the NMRC.

“After getting a stake, the MoUD will also be eligible to appoint officials to the NMRC. If the MoUD agrees to have equity in the NMRC, then it will boost the under-construction 30-km Noida-Greater Noida metro project and also fast track other proposed metro projects in Noida and Greater Noida,” Sandeep Chandra, general manager of the NMRC, said.

After the proposal goes through, the NMRC’s financial audit will be conducted by the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) of India, officials said.

The DMRC, which runs the Delhi Metro, is already a centre-state public sector company. Officials said the NMRC will also become a centre-state enterprise after the Centre gets a stake in the company.

Currently, the NMRC is owned only by Noida and Greater Noida authorities, on behalf of Uttar Pradesh.

Meanwhile, NMRC is also going to shift its office from Noida authority’s Sector 6 building to a new premises in Sector 29.

“The NMRC will shift to its new office — in the Ganga Shopping Complex in Sector 29 — by February 8. The NMRC will have a dedicated building in Sector 29 for administrative purposes. All meetings will be conducted here and decisions regarding metro projects taken,” an official of the NMRC said.

Noida chairman and managing director of the NMRC will inaugurate the office on February 8.

Mumbai Metro | No metro fare hike in Mumbai till February 11

By

Mumbai: The proposed hike in Mumbai Metro Rail fares would not be implemented till February 11 as the Bombay High Court on Friday adjourned the hearing till then to enable the parties seek clarification from the Supreme Court.

Mumbai Metropolitan Regional Development Authority (MMRDA) had earlier challenged the proposed metro hike in the high court. In an interim order on December 17, the high court had stayed the proposed hike in fares of the Versova-Ghatkopar Metro Rail Corridor. Being aggrieved, Mumbai Metro One (MMOPL), a subsidiary of Reliance Energy, which operates the Metro, moved the Supreme Court challenging the stay.

The Supreme Court, on January 27, refused to interfere with the high court order, which had stayed the proposed hike till final hearing of petition on January 29. The matter was sent back to the high court for consideration.

When the matter came up, the bench said it would hear both the parties on Friday itself and dispose of the matter as directed by the apex court. However, MMRDA and MMOPL lawyers Aspi Chinai and Prasad Dhakephalkar respectively sought time to seek clarification from the Supreme Court whether the final hearing was on the issue of interim relief or on the petition.

Accordingly, a bench headed by Justice Abhay Oka adjourned the matter to February 11. The Supreme Court was of the view that since interim relief in the form of stay on the hike in Metro fares was given by the high court, only it should decide the issue. Hence, the apex court referred the matter back to high court.

Mumbai Congress chief Sanjay Nirupam had also filed an intervention application challenging the hike. His plea has been taken up for hearing along with the petition filed by MMRDA. MMOPL, which is operating the Versova-Ghatkopar corridor, had earlier announced that it will increase the fares by Rs 5 from December 1, 2015.

Instead of the earlier slabs of Rs 10, 20, 30 and 40, the proposed new structure will have five slabs of Rs 10, 20, 25, 35 and 45. However, MMRDA, which has commissioned the Mumbai Metro, challenged the hike alleging that the Centre was facilitating private profiteering by allowing multiple fare hikes. Nirupam demanded though his lawyer B A Desai that there should be a fare hike every four years, as per the agreement and not frequently.
