With regard to the clearance of traffic from One railway to Another, two important issues arose :- (i) Whether wagons loaded with foreign railway traffic should be permitted to go to the adjoining Railways . If permitted to go how it should be returned to the Owning railways. (ii) Should the Railway supply its own wagons or should each railway supply its own stock to load commodity to areas served by that railway. Till now each railway managed with its own wagons to the extent possible and even when a loaded wagon was exchange to another railway, it will be returned, loaded or empty, by the same route by which it was received . Carriage & wagon Interchange Control: With regard to the maintenance question , it was decided to have carriage and wagon Interchange control at the Interchange Junctions/ points and a certain standard of Examination of stock laid down at these junctions/ points. The defects found on wagons are classified into two type: (i) Penalty Item (ii) Reject- able Items. Whenever a defect classified as a Penalty item is found a debit is raised the railway handing over the wagon. A Reject-able defect renders the wagon to be rejected at interchange point till the defect is repaired and the wagon offered again. Cross Border or Interchange Instructions: In order that each Railway’s wagon holdings do not get unbalanced by inter- railway movement of traffic it is necessary that in the overall transactions between adjacent railways, the railway does not gain or lose in wagons. This could be done by arranging strict equalization at each junction but traffic requirements demand that there should be greater flexibility in the matter. Record of Cross Border or Interchange Transaction : To maintain record of movement of wagons interchanged at interchange junctions/points , junction verifiers(TXR) are posted at the junction who are drawn from number taking staff. These junction verifiers issue a report/message every day giving the Interchange transactions between individual railways from midnight to midnight. In giving the total number of wagons handed over by each railway, the breakdown into loaded & Empties and covered and Open is given. Vehicle Movement Record: Besides the Interchange message, the junction verifiers also maintain daily statement of individual number and type of wagons Interchanged. Towards this aim, Both IR & BR has to – (i) keep an intensive watch over the working of marshalling and terminal yards; (ii) Supervise the ordering and working of goods trains; (iii) Maintain an effective control on the utilization and movement of goods locos from the time it leaves the home shed till it arrives back to the home shed; (iv) Arrange for equitable distribution and economics utilization of empties; (v) Watch the detention to wagons in marshalling yards, terminal depots, stations and transshipment points.

  • 7392P Q16 IMPERIAL TECHNOLOGY-PT.Qxp Royal a 156 X 234 Mm Times New Roman
    Imperial Technology and ‘Native’ Agency This book explores the impact of railways on colonial Indian society from the commencement of railway operations in the mid-nineteenth to the early decades of the twentieth century. The book represents a historiographical departure. Using new archival evidence as well as travelogues written by Indian railway travellers in Bengali and Hindi, this book suggests that the impact of railways on colonial Indian society were more heterogeneous and complex than anticipated either by India’s colonial railway builders or currently assumed by post-colonial scholars. At a related level, the book argues that this complex outcome of the impact of railways on colonial Indian society was a product of the interaction between the colonial context of technology transfer and the Indian railway passengers who mediated this process at an everyday level. In other words, this book claims that the colonised ‘natives’ were not bystanders in this process of imposition of an imperial technology from above. On the contrary, Indians, both as railway passengers and otherwise influenced the nature and the direction of the impact of an oft-celebrated ‘tool of Empire’. The historiographical departures suggested in the book are based on examining railway spaces as social spaces – a methodological index influenced by Henri Lefebvre’s idea of social spaces as means of control, domination and power.

All Bangladesh travelers who have confirmed journey tickets can avail of this facility of walk-in Tourist visa without appointment dates at IVACs in Rajshahi, Rangpur, Sylhet, Chittagong, Khulna, Jessore, Mymensingh and Barisal. Applicants in Dhaka with confirmed journey tickets may continue to submit their Tourist visa applications on a walk-in basis at IVAC Mirpur. Bangladesh travelers wishing to avail of walk-in Tourist visa should have a confirmed air, train or bus ticket (issued by authorized operators) to India. The date of journey should be within one month of the date of submission of the visa application at IVAC. This initiative is part of the ongoing efforts to streamline, liberalize and ease the process of securing Indian visas. The walk-in Tourist visa scheme was launched first in October 2016 for women travelers and their family members and thereafter extended to all Bangladesh travelers from 1 January 2017.

  • Bangladesh Relations India Was the First Country to Recognize
    India - Bangladesh Relations India was the first country to recognize Bangladesh as a separate and independent state and established diplomatic relations with the country immediately after its independence in December 1971. India’s links with Bangladesh are civilisational, cultural, social and economic. There is much that unites the two countries - a shared history and common heritage, linguistic and cultural ties, passion for music, literature and the arts. This commonality is reflected in our multi-dimensional and expanding relations. In the last more than four decades, the two countries have continued to consolidate their relations and have built a comprehensive institutional framework to promote bilateral cooperation in all areas. High Level Visits and Exchanges The bilateral relations between the two countries are on a high trajectory with regular high-level visits and exchanges. Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi met H. E. Sheikh Hasina, Hon’ble Prime Minister of Bangladesh on the sidelines of the 69th United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in New York on 27 September 2014 for the first time after the formation of the new government in each others’ countries in January 2014 & May 2014, respectively.
