Despite Government of India’s all-out efforts the pandemic is showing little signs of relenting and at the time of writing this editorial the official death toll figure stands at a whopping 4000 plus. Lockdown 4.0 is in place. However, following relaxation given by Governments in certain sectors life is slowly but gradually limping back to normal again. 100 pairs of Mail/ Express trains are scheduled to be run by Indian railways also on different routes w.e.f. 1st June. This will be in addition to Rajdhani-type trains presently being run to and from New Delhi for various destinations. After the announcement of Lockdown 1.0 in late March, the main challenge that cropped up before the Central Government was to ensure safe passage of migrant labourers to their respective native states. Indian Railways played the all important role of transporting these hapless souls to the places where they would at least feel more safe among their near and dear ones and hopefully find at least some sorts of livelihood. At the time of writing this editorial more than 3000 Shramik Special trains have been run by Indian Railways and the number is increasing with every passing day. For an incorrigible optimist who would strain his eyes to see just a dot of illumination at the end of the tunnel, so far more than 60,000 patients have recovered showing that the virus may not be as fatal as we would have thought it to be. Moreover, when it finally leaves the country it will leave us with some good habits like frequent washing of our hands and wearing masks etc. Zonal Railways got a once in a lifetime opportunity to carry out major maintenance/construction work that were kept pending because traffic blocks of long duration were required. We are issuing the magazine on-line this month also. Special Annual issue has been held up for the present and will be issued as soon as the situation normalises. Be safe, be at home and please follow Government guidelines on Covid.

Enhancing speed of trains: At present, speed of trains of Mail/Express trains is below 55 kmph. These are low as per international standards. Segregation of freight and passenger traffic, enhancing the sectional speeds, and rationalization of stoppages are important measures for speed enhancement. The speed of especially the passenger trains is quite low at present primarily because of the coaching stock in use and due to multiplicity of stoppages enroute. There is scope for speeding up of these services by replacing trains with conventional stock by fast moving EMUs/MEMUs/DEMUs. Enhancing the sectional speeds is another enabling factor in speeding them.

  • Speech of Mamata Banerjee Introducing the Railway Budget 2011-12 25Th February 2011
    Speech of Mamata Banerjee introducing the Railway Budget 2011-12 25th February 2011 1. Madam Speaker, I rise to present before this august House the Revised Estimates for 2010-11 and the estimated receipts and expenditure for 2011-12. I deem it an honour to present the third Railway Budget under the kind guidance of the hon'ble Prime Minister. I profusely thank the Finance Minster for his continued support and encouragement to the railways. 2. As the hon’ble members are aware, the wheels of the railways continue to move 24 hours, all 365 days. Railway’s services are comparable to emergency services, required all the time. I am proud of the 14 lakh members of my railway family, who toil day and night with unparalleled dedication. I am also grateful to all passengers without whose cooperation and consideration, we could not have run this vast system. I have also received unstinted support from our two recognised federations and staff and officers’ associations. 3. Madam, rail transportation is vitally interlinked with the economic development of the country. With the economy slated to grow at a rate of 8-9%, it is imperative that the railways grow at an even faster pace. I see the railways as an artery of this pulsating nation. Our lines touch the lives of humble people in tiny villages, as they touch the lives of those in the bustling metropolises. 4. We are taking a two-pronged approach, scripted on the one hand, by a sustainable, efficient and rapidly growing Indian Railways, and on the other, by an acute sense of social responsibility towards the common people of this nation.
