रेलवे के खिलाफ हुए गांव, महाराष्ट्र में तलेगांव-उरली कांचन रेल मार्ग की तीसरी, चौथी लाइन का विरोध

महाराष्ट्र के पुणे में तलेगांव-उरली कांचन रेल लाइन की तीसरी और चौथी लाइन डालने के प्रोजेक्ट का स्थानीय लोगों और गांव वालों ने विरोध शुरू कर दिया है इस रेलवे प्रोजेक्ट के लिए गजट नोटिफिकेशन जारी कर दिया गया है यह विस्तारीकरण विशेष रेलवे परियोजना के तौर पर किया जा रहा है जिसमें 78.14 किलोमीटर लंबे रेल मार्ग की तीसरी और चौथी रेलवे लाइन बनाई जानी है इस बारे में प्रभावित गांवों के लोगों ने रेलवे विरोधी समिति का गठन किया है और राज्य सरकार को ज्ञापन देने के साथ-साथ इस समिति के लोग राजधानी दिल्ली पहुंचे जहां पर उन्होंने रेल मंत्रालय जाकर ज्ञापन दिया रेलवे विरोधी समिति के कार्य अध्यक्ष और दूसरे सदस्यों से न्यूज़ स्टेशन के संपादक सिद्धार्थ ने खास बात की रेलवे विरोधी समिति का कहना है कि इस रेलवे प्रोजेक्ट से दर्जन भर से ज्यादा गांव के लोग प्रभावित हो रहे हैं जिसमें हजारों लोगों पर असर पड़ेगा क्योंकि इसके चलते ग्रामीणों के अपने मकान तोड़े जाएंगे और खेती वाली जमीन को भी इस प्रोजेक्ट के तहत अधिग्रहित किया जाना है
Villagers from Sangurdi, Nighoje, Moi, Kuruli, Rase, Chimbali, Solu, Dhanore, Golegaon, Alandi, Indori, and Malwadi have petitioned local authorities and Delhi's Ministry of Railways, demanding project cancellation or route changes to protect their farms and homes.Action committees in Kuruli and Dehu Road lead the charge, vowing protests and refusing land sales. "The survey hit empty fields, but now it's our livelihood hub—businesses and jobs we can't rebuild with temporary compensation," said Dr. Anil Kale, head of the opposition committee. Locals deem the line unnecessary, threatening escalation if ignored.

देखिए DFC के अनूठे Viaduct से होकर Railcar ने कैसे पार की हरियाणा की इकलौती रेल सुरंग

The Western Dedicated Freight Corridor spans 1,504 km of double-line electric track from JNPT to Dadri, passing through major cities like Vadodara and Ahmedabad. It runs parallel to existing lines with detours at key locations. The corridor traverses five states: Uttar Pradesh (19 km), Haryana (177 km), Rajasthan (567 km), Gujarat (565 km), and Maharashtra (178 km). A new alignment connects Rewari to Dadri, with junction stations facilitating access along the route.

Siemens ETCS Level 2: Revolutionizing India's Bullet Train Safety Over Kavach

As Siemens deploys ETCS Level 2 on India's 508-km bullet train corridor, experts highlight its edge over domestic systems like Kavach. Unlike Vande Bharat tracks relying on basic interlocking—lacking automatic train protection—ETCS offers proven global safety for 300+ km/h speeds.
Pankaj Rastogi, Siemens Sales Head, explained: "Current rails let drivers spot signals at 100 km/h, but at bullet speeds, visibility vanishes. ETCS beams signals inside the cab, granting 'movement authority' and auto-braking on errors—essential for driverless ops."
Kavach, India's ETCS equivalent, is still developing despite initial rollouts. "For high-speed, risks are zero-tolerance; ETCS's worldwide track record wins," Rastogi stressed, promising slashed accidents and efficiency gains

India's Bullet Train Ditches Shinkansen for Siemens ETCS Level 2 Leap

Siemens has clinched a landmark contract to deploy advanced European Train Control System (ETCS) Level 2 signaling on India's first high-speed bullet train corridor, spanning 508 km. The pivot from Japan's Shinkansen technology, delayed by funding hurdles, opens the tender to global players, with Siemens emerging victorious.Pankaj Rastogi, Siemens' Sales Head, called it a "surprise," noting the shift to ETCS Level 2—the first for India's high-speed rails—paired with automatic train operations (ATO) and pioneering 5G communications. This trio promises driverless, ultra-safe runs, slashing travel times and boosting efficiency.

Bullet Train Blues: Sudhanshu Mani Warns of Tech Mismatch in Mumbai-Ahmedabad Corridor

In an exclusive NewsStation interview, Sudhanshu Mani, ex-Integral Coach Factory GM and Vande Bharat architect, slams the ₹4,100 crore Siemens signaling contract as a "khichdi" disaster for India's bullet train project. The European ETCS Level 2 system clashes with Japanese Shinkansen trains designed for 280-320 kmph on minimal-maintenance tracks."Integrated development is key—track, signaling, and rolling stock must sync," Mani cautioned. While technically feasible via train modifications and Siemens-Japanese collaboration, he doubts administrative hurdles: "Will Japan agree? It's created needless confusion."This hybrid risks delays, urging a unified standard for high-speed success.

Bullet Train Snag: Sudhanshu Mani Urges Japan Negotiation Amid Tech Mismatch
In a stark NewsStation exclusive, Sudhanshu Mani, former Integral Coach Factory General Manager and Vande Bharat pioneer, flags "khichdi" risks in the Ahmedabad-Mumbai bullet train project. The ₹4,100 crore Siemens-led contract for European ETCS Level 2 signaling jars with Japan's minimal-maintenance tracks engineered for 280-320 kmph speeds and ultra-high frequencies.
"Japan's high costs stalled signaling talks—negotiate, leveraging Modi's goodwill," Mani advised. "Tracks follow Japanese philosophy: built for no frequent upkeep due to train density. Start with Japanese trains and systems. Indigenous push to 220-240 kmph is fine, but leaping to 280? Tough. Run experiments, but import from Japan—they'll supply if prices drop."
