  • 2007-08, Is Indicative of Sustained Improvement in Safety Performance
    CHAPTER I SAFETY RECORD OF INDIAN RAILWAYS 1.1 Indian Railways is the largest railway network under a single management in the world. It has a route kilometrage of nearly 63,273 kms, an operating fleet of 4, 69,553 wagons (in terms of 4-wheelers), 50,724 coaching vehicles and 8,330 locomotives. 1.2 During 2007-2008, on an average, 17,754 trains, including 10,385 passenger carrying trains were run daily. Nearly 18 million passengers were booked daily and 804.11 million tonnes of freight traffic was loaded during the year. With such a massive utilisation of assets, safety is of paramount importance for operational efficiency. A very high priority is accorded to safety to enable Railways to achieve still greater heights of performance. Consequential Train Accidents 1.3 The term ‘accident’ envelopes a wide spectrum of occurrences with or without significant impact on the system. Consequential train accidents include mishaps with serious repercussion in terms of loss of human life or injury, damage to railway property or interruption to rail traffic of laid down threshold levels and values. These consequential train accidents include collisions, derailments, fire in trains, road vehicles colliding with trains at level crossings, and certain specified types of ‘miscellaneous’ train mishaps. Incidence of Train Accidents 1.4 The number of consequential train accidents decreased from 194 (excluding one train accident on Konkan Railway) during 2006-2007 to 193 (excluding one train accident on Konkan Railway) during 2007-2008. The number of train accidents per million train kilometres, which is the universally accepted safety index, also dropped from 0.23 in 2006-07 to 0.22 in 2007-2008.

This Service does not accept any responsibility for the accuracy or veracity of the information or views contained in the note/collection. METRO RAIL PROJECTS IN INDIA INTRODUCTION Metros are major capital assets of cities. Urban Metro1 Projects have proven to be very useful in decongesting large cities. There are around 148 cities around the world which has a metro system with nearly 540 metro lines, 9,000 stations and 11,000 kilometres of line infrastructure . The world’s metro systems carry 150 million passengers per day. The earliest metro system, the London Underground, first electrified underground line opened in 1890, was the world's first metro system. With more than 500 km of infrastructure, Shanghai has the world’s longest Metro network. London is the longest non Asian Metro network in the ranking, with New York, Moscow, Madrid and Paris. INDIAN SCENARIO Metro systems2 are often given preference as mass transit options for Indian cities due to the belief that road-based bus systems cannot cater to capacity requirements as much as metro systems.

  • MAHARASHTRA 799 © Lonely Planet Publications Planet Lonely © Ajanta Ellora ( P825 )
    © Lonely Planet Publications 799 Maharashtra Sprawling Maharashtra, India’s second most populous state, stretches from the gorgeous greens of the little-known Konkan Coast right into the parched innards of India’s beating heart. Within this massive framework are all the sights, sounds, tastes, and experiences of MAHARASHTRA MAHARASHTRA India. In the north there’s Nasik, a city of crashing colours, timeless ritual and Hindu legend. In the south you can come face to face with modern India at its very best in Pune, a city as famous for its sex guru as its bars and restaurants. Further south still, the old maharaja’s palaces, wrestling pits and overwhelming temples of Kolhapur make for one of the best introductions to India anyone could want. Out in the far east of the state towards Nagpur, the adventurous can set out in search of tigers hidden in a clump of national parks. On the coast a rash of little-trodden beaches and collapsing forts give Goa’s tropical dreams a run for their money and in the hills of the Western Ghats, morning mists lift to reveal stupen- dous views and colonial-flavoured hill stations. But it’s the centre, with its treasure house of architectural and artistic wonders (topped by the World Heritage–listed cave temples of Ellora and Ajanta), that really steals the show. Whatever way you look at it, Maharashtra is one of the most vibrant and rewarding corners of India, yet despite this, most travellers make only a brief artistic pause at Ellora and Ajanta before scurrying away to other corners of India, leaving much of this diverse state to the explorers.
