In 4 months, work will begin on 2 more Metro corridors, says Deshmukh
Chief Minister Vilasrao Deshmukh on Thursday announced that work on two more corridors of the Metro rail will begin in four months and the government will explore sky rail and water transport options too to lighten the existing load on the local trains. He was speaking after inaugurating the first new generation rake of the Central Railway at Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus. The work on the first Metro rail corridor is going on. "The capacity of a 9-car rake is only 1,700 commuters, but during peak hours around 5000 people travel in such a rake. With the introduction of new rakes and the completion other works under the MUTP, things will improve. I hope that second phase of the MUTP will be approved soon,' he said. Talking about encroachments on railway land, Deshmukh said, "In line with the state government policy, the Railways should rehabilitate those who were staying on its land before 2000. Often, railway officials say that they cannot do so as their policy doesn't allow it. The Railways should change its policy according to the state's policy.' Deshmukh asked the Railways to construct tracks in remote areas so as to benefit the people. On Deshmukh's demand for rehabilitation of encroachers, Union Minister of State for Railways Narain J Rathwa, who was the chief guest, said: "We will have a meeting with Railway Minister Lalu Prasad Yadav and the state government officials, and will take a decision on the issue. Before that, no encroachments will be removed.' State Finance Minister Jayant Patil also attended the function. THE NEW RAKES HAVE FOR YOU * Colour and signage scheme designed by National Institute of Design, Ahmedabad * Air springs in secondary suspension for improved riding index. *n Recron thermal wadding coach insulation to reduce transfer of heat from atmosphere *n Fiberglass Reinforced Polymer (FRP) panelling for better 'aesthetics * Polyurethane cushion/poly carbonate seats in first/second class with stainless steel frame *n Stainless steel handholds & luggage racks * Bigger lift-up type windows with polycarbonate louvers * Stainless steel roof paneling, flooring and doorway partitioning * Powder coated aluminium doors with polycarbonate window DC-AC conversion According to the Railways, the DC traction system currently being used in the city's suburban train network, cannot keep pace with ever increasing number of commuters and the phenomenal expansion of the metropolis. Hence, the Railways has embarked on its ambitious DC-AC conversion plan. The conversion is possible only with the use of Electrical Multiple Unit (EMU) stock which can run both under DC and AC traction, the Railways said.
