Back with your retarded comments again... Dude do some research so I dont have to keep schooling you...
Is this what you call world class metro?
Look at your metros bathroom
Look at what an Indian newspaper has to say about your metros
New Delhi: The warning signs were there for everyone to see, still the Delhi Metro authorities chose to continue with their 'high-speed experiment'.
Over 11,000 'tension clamps' installed on the Airport Express line developed cracks in December last year, triggering a major safety glitch in the operation of the high-speed Metro, The Daily Mail reported.
Despite this, the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) continued running the train for over seven months, risking the lives of thousands of passengers who boarded the express Metro to reach the airport in time.
This shocking revelation has come to the fore from the findings of Research Designs and Standard Organisation (RDSO), a research body of the Ministry of Railways, which carried out inspections in March this year, according to the Dialy Mail.
According to the RDSO report, the operators reduced the speed of the Airport Express Line from around 105 kmph to 80 kmph after over 11,000 tension clamps developed cracks. The damaged clamps were replaced promptly but even some of the new ones started to crack, triggering serious safety concern.
The Railways wrote repeatedly to the DMRC on the safety issue but did not receive any response, even as the operation of the express line continued, the report said. It was also revealed that tension clamps were procured from a German company, Vossloh, despite the fact that the fastener had witnessed failures in the past in Germany and China.
The RDSO inspection report said that the fastening system for the 18-km airport line was inspected twice first on March 2 and 3 and then on March 17 and 18 - by different teams. The RDSO prepared a three-page report. The RDSO officials were informed during their inspection that the tension clamps were procured from two plants of Vossloh, located in Germany and China.
The RDSO officials also checked new and in-service tension clamps to find out the real problem. The team noticed that even the replaced tension clamps having yellow marks were deformed in certain sections.
The report suggested proper investigation into the technical glitches. "This is a matter of great concern as such failure of clamps has not been reported/observed on the initial fastenings until approximately one year of operation. A full investigation on the subject matter is therefore required to be done in a scientific manner to understand all the contributory elements that are causing the failure of the clamps," the report stated.
Anyways LUMS (Lahore University of Management Sciences) has been ranked top 100 in the world.... While on the other hand in India, you have the biggest illiterate pop.
