SHRI KODIKUNNIL SURESH (MAVELIKKARA): Madam, it is a very important issue… (Interruptions) A dalit youth has been murdered… (Interruptions) HON. SPEAKER: Hon. Members, it is not like that. The matter, though important enough, does not warrant interruptION of Business. The matter can be raised through other opportunities. You can raise it in ‘Zero Hour’. … (Interruptions) HON. SPEAKER: There is no provision of Suspension of Question Hour. So, notices under Suspension of Question Hour will not be allowed and so I am disallowing all the notices. You can raise it in ‘Zero Hour’, not now. … (Interruptions) HON. SPEAKER: I am not allowing anybody. Now, the House will take up Question Hour. Question No. 321 – Shrimati Meenakshi Lekhi --- Not present. … (Interruptions) 19.03.2015 :: am/ks Uncorrected / Not for Publication 11 Q. 321 DR. P. VENUGOPAL (TIRUVALLUR): Hon. Speaker, the hon. Minister has stated that the synchronization of power under wind energy corridor has not commenced. He has also stated that the State of Tamil Nadu is to be provided with Rs. 637.20 crore for creation of intra-State transmission for renewable power allocation. As such there are many MNCs in the wind power generation projects in Tamil Nadu and the Government of Tamil Nadu has been requesting the Centre for long to provide transmission system in both intra-State and inter-State. The fact is that our visionary leader hon. Amma has taken up the Green House Scheme in a big way establishing a separate grid with synchronization facilities offered from inter-State transmission. It will help the State of Tamil Nadu to become an investment destination to get more electricity for more manufacturing activities. I would like to know from the hon. Minister whether, the State of Tamil Nadu with an approved fund, the Centre will accord priority to get synchronized transmission system at the earliest. (b/1105/ru-bks) SHRI PIYUSH GOYAL: Madam Speaker, I must compliment the State of Tamil Nadu and its former Chief Minister and leader, hon. Amma, for having given a thrust to renewable energy in the State of Tamil Nadu. I am very happy that one of the first States to benefit from the Green Energy Corridor is Tamil Nadu .which has received Rs. 637 crore commitment from National Clean Energy Fund to create an additional intra-State facility and the Central Government, through PGCIL, will create an additional inter-State facility to ensure that adequate green energy is transmitted within and outside the State. I am also very happy to inform the House that 76 million Euro loan has been sanctioned by KFW, Germany at a very nominal interest rate of 1.63 per cent with a tenure of 15 years of which the first five years is a moratorium. I have been assured additional thrust by the State Government in my recent visit when I had 19.03.2015 :: am/ks Uncorrected / Not for Publication 12 extensive meetings with the Chief Minister of the State Government, the Energy Minister and the officials of Tamil Nadu.

  • INDIAN RAILWAYS SCHEDULE of DIMENSIONS 1676Mm Gauge (BG)
    INDIAN RAILWAYS SCHEDULE OF DIMENSIONS 1676mm Gauge (BG) REVISED, 2004 SCHEDULE OF DIMENSIONS-1676mm, GAUGE SHEDULE OF DIMENSIONS-1676MM GAUGE Schedule of Dimensions for Indian Railways, 1676mm Gauge Dear Sir/Dear Sirs, With their circular letter No. 735-W. of 1922, the Railway Board issued a Schedule of Maximum, Minimum and Recommended Dimensions to be observed on all 1676mm gauge Railways in India. In that Schedule, certain dimensions of the previous schedule of the year 1913 were modified with the object of permitting the use of enlarged rolling stock. 2. The Schedule of Dimensions of 1922 contained two distinct sections, namely, a schedule of "Maximum and Minimum Dimensions" which was considered to enable the proposed larger vehicles to run with about the same degree of safety as that which was previously obtained on the older Railways with existing stock, and a schedule of "Recommended Dimensions" intended to provide approximately the same clearances from fixed structures for the future larger vehicles as the 1913 schedule gave for existing vehicles. 3. In their circular letter No. 232-Tech.dated the 8th February, 1926, the Railway Board gave instructions that the Recommended Dimensions given in the 1922 Schedule were to be observed on important Railways in all new works and alterations to existing works. These orders were modified in letter No. 232-Tech. of the 26th April, 1926, which allowed a relaxation in the case of certain recommended dimensions, the adoption of which would involve heavy expenditure in remodeling works. 4. In 1929, it was found desirable further to amend the Schedule of 1922 in order to introduce certain improve- ments in the light of experience gained since it was issued, and to provide the clearances required by electric traction equipment on lines which were likely to be electrified in the future.

  • Finished Vehicle Logistics by Rail in Europe
    Finished Vehicle Logistics by Rail in Europe Version 3 December 2017 This publication was prepared by Oleh Shchuryk, Research & Projects Manager, ECG – the Association of European Vehicle Logistics. Foreword The project to produce this book on ‘Finished Vehicle Logistics by Rail in Europe’ was initiated during the ECG Land Transport Working Group meeting in January 2014, Frankfurt am Main. Initially, it was suggested by the members of the group that Oleh Shchuryk prepares a short briefing paper about the current status quo of rail transport and FVLs by rail in Europe. It was to be a concise document explaining the complex nature of rail, its difficulties and challenges, main players, and their roles and responsibilities to be used by ECG’s members. However, it rapidly grew way beyond these simple objectives as you will see. The first draft of the project was presented at the following Land Transport WG meeting which took place in May 2014, Frankfurt am Main. It received further support from the group and in order to gain more knowledge on specific rail technical issues it was decided that ECG should organise site visits with rail technical experts of ECG member companies at their railway operations sites. These were held with DB Schenker Rail Automotive in Frankfurt am Main, BLG Automotive in Bremerhaven, ARS Altmann in Wolnzach, and STVA in Valenton and Paris. As a result of these collaborations, and continuous research on various rail issues, the document was extensively enlarged. The document consists of several parts, namely a historical section that covers railway development in Europe and specific EU countries; a technical section that discusses the different technical issues of the railway (gauges, electrification, controlling and signalling systems, etc.); a section on the liberalisation process in Europe; a section on the key rail players, and a section on logistics services provided by rail.
