MANIPUR JOINS “UDAY” SCHEME ; WOULD DERIVE AN OVERALL NET BENEFIT OF Rs 263 CRORE THROUGH “UDAY”
The Government of India, the State of Manipur and the DISCOM of Manipur signed Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) under the Scheme UDAY – “Ujwal DISCOM Assurance Yojana” today for operational turnaround of the DISCOM.
Manipur is the fourteenth State to join UDAY. It is also the first North Eastern State to opt for UDAY for improving the efficiency of the DISCOM. The combined DISCOM debt (including CPSU dues) that would be restructured in respect of these states is around Rs.2.16 lac crore as on 30th September, 2015.
Today the Government of Manipur has taken a positive step towards supporting its DISCOM by signing the MOU under UDAY for improving its operational efficiency. Through compulsory Distribution Transformer metering, consumer indexing & GIS mapping of losses, upgrade/change transformers, meters etc., smart metering of high-end consumers, feeder audit etc. AT&C losses and transmission losses would be brought down, besides eliminating the gap between cost of supply of power and realisation. The reduction in AT&C losses and transmission losses to 15% and 3.20% respectively is likely to bring additional revenue of around Rs.208 crore during the period of turnaround.
While efforts will be made by the State Government and the DISCOM to improve the operational efficiency of the DISCOM, and thereby reduce the cost of supply of power, the Central government would also provide incentives to the DISCOM and the State Government for improving Power infrastructure in the State and for further lowering the cost of power. The Central schemes such as DDUGJY, IPDS, Power Sector Development Fund or such other schemes of MOP and MNRE are already providing funds for improving Power Infrastructure in the State and additional/priority funding would be considered under these schemes, if the State/DISCOM meet the operational milestones outlined in the scheme. The State shall also be supported through additional coal at notified prices and in case of availability, through higher capacity utilization, low cost power from NTPC and other CPSUs. Other benefits such as coal swapping, coal rationalization, correction in coal grade slippage, availability of 100% washed coal would help the state to further reduce the cost of Power. The State would gain around Rs.32 crore due to these coal reforms.
Demand Side interventions in UDAY such as usage of energy-efficient LED bulbs, agricultural pumps, fans & air-conditioners and efficient industrial equipment through PAT (Perform, Achieve, Trade) would help in reducing peak load, flatten load curve and thus help in reducing energy consumption in the State of Manipur. The gain is expected to be around Rs.17 crore
Improvement in operation efficiency would enable the DISCOM to borrow at cheaper rates in future, for their infrastructure development and improvement of existing infrastructure. The expected benefit to the State on this account is around Rs.6 crore during the turnaround period.
An overall net benefit of approximately Rs.263 crore would accrue to the State by opting to participate in UDAY, by way of cheaper funds, reduction in AT&C and transmission losses, interventions in energy efficiency, coal reforms etc. during the period of turnaround.
The ultimate benefit of signing the MOU would go to the people of Manipur. Reduced levels of transmission and AT&C losses would mean lesser cost per unit of electricity to consumers. Improved operationally efficiency would also improve the DISCOM’s financial health. A healthy DISCOM would be in a position to supply more power. Thus, the scheme would allow speedy availability of power to around 188 villages and 2.43 lac households in the State that are still without electricity. Availability of 24x7 power to hitherto unconnected villages/households etc. would boost the economy, provide more employment opportunitiesfor the people of the State and thereby, improve the standard of living of the people of the State.

7th Pay Commission: No hike for non-performing employees, says Govt
7th Pay Commission: The benchmark for performance appraisal for promotion and financial upgradation has been enhanced to "very good" from "good" level.
Non-performing Central government employees will not get annual increment if their performance is not upto the mark, the Centre has said.
The benchmark for performance appraisal for promotion and financial upgradation has been enhanced to “very good” from “good” level, the Finance Ministry said in an order notifying implementation of Seventh Central Pay Commission’s recommendations.
The Modified Assured Career Progression (MACP) scheme will continue to be administered at 10, 20 and 30 years of service as before, the Ministry said as it “accepted” the pay panel’s recommendations.
The recommendation of “withholding of annual increments in the case of those employees who are not able to meet the benchmark either for MACP or a regular promotion within the first 20 years of their service” has been “accepted”, it said.
The pay panel had in its report to the Centre said that there is a widespread perception that increments as well as upward movement in the hierarchy happen as a matter of course.
“The perception is that grant of MACP, although subject to the employee attaining the laid down threshold of performance, is taken for granted. This Commission believes that employees who do not meet the laid down performance criterion should not be allowed to earn future annual increments.
“The Commission is therefore proposing withholding of annual increments in the case of those employees who are not able to meet the benchmark either for MACP or a regular promotion within the first 20 years of their service. This will act as a deterrent for complacent and inefficient employees,” it had said.
There are about 50 lakh Central government employees.

India - Mundra Port and Pipavav Port operate double-stacked diesel trains on 1,676 mm (5 ft 6 in) gauge using flat wagons. It is one of only three countries[which?] to commercially double stack 9 ft 6 in (2,896 mm) tall (high cube) containers on a train. India is building Dedicated Freight Corridor, economical and environmental friendly electrical traction based double-stack freight railway network which can transport international standard containers, a first in the world. ( from Wiki )
IR was planning for Triple Stack. But I don't know more about it .

I don't think, the information is complete.
Australia, France and China too are doing it. France and China carry out Double container rake operation under wires and shortly India, too will do it on DFC.
here is one example from France.
yes, it is sad part of our rail operations. However, removal of all level crossings (LC) (by means of over or underpass) is already underway. Recently a major project of removal of all level crossings on Western railway Mumbai Vadodara Ratlam New Delhi line has already been taken and in next 2 years, all LC would be removed. Similar efforts on other trunk lines is also underway.
DFC by original design have no LC.

Indian Railway: Gujarat has cleanest railway stations, Bihar dirtiest
The cleanest railway stations in the country are in Gujarat and the dirtiest in Bihar and UP, according to a passenger feedback survey on cleanliness carried out by the Railway Ministry, which says lack of sanitation at stations was the biggest area of concern for commuters.
http://www.financialexpress.com/ind...anest-railway-stations-bihar-dirtiest/329839/
Indian Railways staff to get new uniforms with a modern twist created by designer Ritu Beri - and the public will get to pick the favourite
Indian Railways is back on track with a special set of uniforms for employees that will be designed by Delhi-based style veteran, Ritu Beri.
The designer gave a presentation of the uniforms to the Ministry for Railways, minister Suresh Prabhu, and members of the Railway Board in the Capital on Tuesday afternoon.
In a bid to inject new life into the railway services - which includes catering services from leading fast food joints - the national carrier has decided to spruce up the uniform worn by all staff members.
This includes the station-masters, loco pilots, train ticket examiners, and guards.
In an exclusive interview with Mail Today, Beri said: “The work on the uniform designs (for men and women) is in progress; I shall share details once everything is finalised.
"For now, we have made the first presentation - we worked very hard for two months and researched various possibilities. We will work with Khadi, our national fabric, which also works well given our climate conditions.”
She said that the idea was to create uniforms that are attractive, impactful and comfortable at the same time.
While retaining the traditional look of Indian dress is important, it will be given a modern twist.
Accordingly, she presented four themes on Tuesday.
These were the ‘Ethos of India’, including inspirations such as kalamkari from Andhra Pradesh, madhubani from Bihar, and warli art from Madhya Pradesh; ‘The Golden Period’, featuring the Harappa Age, stupas and the Konark Temple; ‘The Legacy of Nawabs’ including intricate inlay work; and ‘The Vibrant Soul of India’ with a more kitsch appeal.

We have, but it's not mainstream.
It can be popular in US and Canada because their railways are almost freight-exclusive.
But in China, infrastructure is limited to such double-stack container trains.
Heavy-haul freight lines are popular here.
(China has the busiest freight railway in the world,
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Datong–Qinhuangdao_Railway)
But with the opening of more and more high-speed expressways, freight transport by railway are becoming less popular.

Australia - double-stacked trains operate between Perth, Adelaide, Darwin and Parkes, New South Wales[19] 6.5 m (21 ft) clearances [20]
China - using double-stacked container trains under 25 kV AC overhead lines.[15]
India - Mundra Port and Pipavav Port operate double-stacked diesel trains on 1,676 mm (5 ft 6 in) gauge using flat wagons.[15] It is one of only three countries[which?] to commercially double stack 9 ft 6 in (2,896 mm) tall (high cube) containers on a train.[21] India is building Dedicated Freight Corridor, economical and environmental friendly electrical traction based double-stack freight railway network which can transport international standard containers, a first in the world.[22]
Netherlands - The Betuweroute, a freight rail between Rotterdam to the German border built 2007 is prepared for double-stacking insofar that tunnels are being built to accommodate double stack trains to reduce the cost and time of any future upgrade to the network.[23] The current catenary wire is too low for double stack rail transport and the upgrade is dependent on the German section of the railway connection.
Panama - The rebuilt Panama Canal Railway operates double-stack container trains 47.6 miles (76.6 km) across the Isthmus of Panama from Colón on the Atlantic Ocean, to Balboaon the Pacific, near Panama City.
Saudi Arabia - Saudi Railways Organization line to Dammam.[24]

Please give me sometime, i have a book that mentions freight transportation in various countries. I recall Deep Well type flatcars are commonly used for Double stacked operations.
Meanwhile in India, Railway board identified some routes for Double stack operation with light weight containers.
I'll try to post some info on Double stack operation under OHE wires.

Indian Railways closely associated with double-stack container movement say that wherever double-stack containers are moved under wire, the height of the containers is reduced to fit under the wire.
“In such cases, the container height is less than the standard height of ISO containers used internationally,” Mr Naresh Kumar, Vice-President-Technical, Pipavav Rail Corporation Ltd (PRCL), told Business Line. PRCL had conducted the feasibility study and pilot runs of ISO standard size double-stack container trains in the Jaipur-Pipavav route of Indian Railways.
