( iii ) INTRODUCTION I, the Chairman of the Public Accounts Committee, as authorised by the Committee, do present on their behalf this Hundred Fifty Fourth· Re- port of the Public Accounts Committee (Seventh Lok Sabha) on paragraph 1 of the Advance Report of the Comptroller and Auditor General of India for the year 1980-81, Union Government (Railways) regarding Coaching Services. 2. The Advance Report of the Comptroller & Auditor General of India for the year 1980-81, Union Government (Railways) was laid on the Table of the House on 5 April, 1982. 3. The Railways being a public utility cannot abdicate their responsi- bility in the matter of providing adequate services to the travelling public, the Committee have therefore, desired that Ministry of Railways (Railway Board) make a realistic assessment of the growth of passenger traffic involv- ing, say a . lead of 500 kms. and above, "ith a view to projecting the requirements over the next 5-10 years and planning accordingly. A com- prehensive study has also to be carried out immediately with regard to inter-city travel keeping in view the growth centres that are rapidly emerg- ing in the wake of growing industrial/economic activity all over the country so as to help in formulation of Seventh Plan. As regards the current plan, the Committee have stressed the need for stepping up the allocations to the Railways to enable them to execute the necessary schemes tor augment- ing the no. of coaches, maintenance facilities and terminal and line capacities etc. The Committee have expected the Raihvays to take necessary measures to contribute to this effort by generating additional resources out of their own revenues by efficient and conccntrat.d utilisation of existing assets both human and material, and by cutting down wasteful expenditure. 4. The Committee have recommended that on-gomg schemes for augmenting the facilities in existing workshop must be completed expedi- tiously so as to make up the deficiency to the extent feasible within the shortest possible time. As regards the new schemes, the Committee have desired the priorities to be fixed so that in stead of spreading limited resources too thinly over several projects at the same time the most promis- ing one could he completed expeditiously. (v) (vi) 5. The Committee. have also emphasised . the need for preparing a perspective Plan covering the period upto 2000 AD _for . development ol the Railway system keeping in view the anticipated growth of traffic, both suburban and non-suburban. 6. The Public Accounts Committee (1982-SJ) exami~ paragraph 1 at their sittings held on 29 November, 1982 and 1 December, 1982. ·The Committee considered and finalised this Report at their sitting held on 26 April, 1983 based on the evidence taken and the written mformation · furni- shed by the Ministry of Railways (Railway 'Board). ·The Minutes of the sittings form Part II* of the Report. 7.

  • Chapter VI 1
    Chapter VI The Strike and its Impact in the Northeast Frontier Railways This chapter discusses the causes and developments leading to the strike and the developments related to the strike in the Northeastern Frontier Railways. The N.F Railway’s authority had never headed to the demands of the workers hence the grievances were never redressed. As a result of this the workers were aggrieved. The result was the eruption of various types of labour unrests throughout the N.F Railways. In this chapter we concentrate on the situation of the N.F Railways in the period of the strike. The consequence of the strike in this zone was deep and diverse. Therefore the chapter examines the impact of the struggle of 1974 in N.F Railways. The chapter is divided into three sections. The first section has focussed its attention on the grievances of railwaymen in N.F Railways. In this section we also look at how the workers of N. F. Railway along with the other zones had prepared themselves for the general strike. The second section of the study discusses the strike situation throughout the N.F. Railway Zone. It summarises the developments that took place in the entire N.F. Railways in this period. The third section analyses the impact of the strike in the N.F. Railways as the struggle had a long term effect both economically and politically. 1 Grievances of the N.F Railway Workers and their Preparations for the Strike In this section of the study we begin with a brief history of the N.F Railways.

  • The Story of the Assam Rail Link Construction Project in 1947-50
    The Story of the Assam Rail Link construction project in 1947-50 And what happened to it later Before 1947 • All trains from Calcutta to North Bengal and the Northeast passed through areas which were to become part of East Pakistan. See the following maps: A closer look at the lines in northern Bengal Some trains of the 1943 Bradshaw • The Darjeeling Mail: Sealdah to Siliguri via Ranaghat, Hardinge bridge and Parbatipur • The Assam Mail: BG from Sealdah to Parbatipur, then by MG to Amingaon via Lalmanirhat, Gitaldaha and Golakganj • The Surma Mail: BG from Sealdah to Santahar, then by MG to ferry crossing, finally by MG to Mymensingh, Akhaura and Silchar More about the 1943 trains There were no express trains from North India to the North East, although there appears to have been a Prayag-Amingaon passenger via Katihar, Parbatipur and thence by the Assam Mail route. One can also mention the Dacca Mail and Chittagong Express which involved long boat trips from Goalundo. Effect of partition on rail lines • See the map with the border cutting the lines at numerous places: How the border cut the tracks The missing links • 1) Kishanganj-Siliguri NG line was to be converted to MG • 2) Siliguri-Bagrakot including Tista bridge- could use existing NG line up to Sivok • 3) Madarihat-Hashimara including Torsa bridge • 4) Alipur Duar to Fakiragram Further improvements • 1) A new station Siliguri Jn was set up north of the existing BG terminus-which is now Siliguri Town • 2) Siliguri to Sivok became a dual gauge NG-MG line, while the NG continued up the Tista valley to Gielle Khola • 3) A new station Alipur Duar Jn was set up north of the existing Alipur Duar station Improvements (contd) • 4) New stations at Bagrakot, New Mal and elsewhere • 5) New Gitaldaha Jn station set up north of existing junction-probably as it was too close to the border.

    1. TELEGRAM TO THE AGA KHAN SODEPUR, December 7, 1945 H. H. AGAKHAN BOMBAY MANY THANKS YOUR WIRE. WOULD LOVE TO MEET YOU AND LEARN FROM YOU WAY TO SOLUTION COMMUNAL PROBLEM. MAULANA IS ILL BUT AT WORK. EXPECTING TO REACH WARDHA FEBRUARY. WRITING. GANDHI From a copy: Pyarelal Papers. Courtesy: Pyarelal 2. LETTER TO JIVANJI D. DESAI SODEPUR, December 7, 1945 CHI. JIVANJI, I got your proof-copy of the pamphlet on constructive work yesterday. I wanted to use that copy here and did so. But I had already gone through the proof earlier. As there is no letter accom- panying it, I don’t quite understand why you have sent it. You have given a heading to my preface but there is no heading on the page on which the pamphlet itself begins. I infer from this that final touches still remain to be given to the printing. I have of course asked Pyare- lalji to write to you about this, but I think it is better to dictate this just now in the morning. I have the impression that I have already written to you about the cover. My suggestion is that the eighteen headings which you have given in the pamphlet should be reproduced on the cover in their proper order, with the page number given against each. This will help the reader and we shall be able to show what topics have been covered. The topics can also be shown on the cover in the form of a circle. We can have a drawing of the spinning-wheel in the centre and the head- ings can be printed round it like the planets round the sun.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 ABSTRACT OF THESIS This thesis takes as its subject the foundation and rise to commercial power of the British Managing Agencies in Calcutta in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. As private partnerships they initiated and controlled a substantial body of commercial, industrial and agricultural concerns, in transport, coal, jute, financial services and, importantly, in tea. This topic has been largely ignored by other business historians, who have preferred to study the Managing Agencies’ eventual decline and extinction during the following half- century. However, it is equally instructive to examine the health and vigour that propelled young businesses towards the power and prosperity which blossomed before 1914. The thesis examines in some detail five Managing Agencies and the individual entrepreneurs who founded and ran them, necessarily selected according to the availability and usefulness of primary sources but providing a reasonably representative range of characteristics and business activities.
