Have a look at World Photography Organisation Blog's cover pic. . The first pic " A woman looking into the Mumbai night "

https://www.worldphoto.org/blogs/12-05-16/zeiss-photography-award-winners-announced

I think ,these clicks happens on the go . The pictured person don't even have a clue . That make these pics original and natural. Much more truthful than the photo shoots with models !

Very Impressive post Sir.. These are taken without prior notification and thus are natural shoots so you get reactions which are genuine.
These pics depicts the truth of how Indian railways and Indian lives are so interlinked.. The First pic of ladies compartment to the 3rd pic of a normal scene of Mumbai locals during peak hours is a treat to watch. The selfie craze led young folks are a nuisance. The last pic is another gem.. Bcz we keep seeing it daily but when captured it looks so surreal.
Thank you for this share..

Of all IR pics i've seen (& i've seen a lot), my favorite is this one. For it tells why Indian Railway is the lifeline of nation.Why it is one of the handful of state institutions that touches your heart. That gives you hope.

Trials of train collision avoidance system undertaken

NEW DELHI: Railways have taken up field trials of train collision avoidance system(TCAS), which provides real-time display of signalling information inside locomotive cab, on the 250-km Lingampalli-Bidar section of Secunderabad Division.

The safety system, which is being indigenously developed by the Research Designs and Standards Organisation (RDSO), in association with Indian vendors, aims at preventing train accidents caused due to driver's fault of ignoring signal or in case of over-speeding, said a senior Railways Ministry official.

Besides, trials of the Train Protection and Warning System (TPWS) based on the European Train Control System technology have also been undertaken in a few sections.

TPWS trials on the 50-km Chennai-Gummidipundi Suburban section and the 200-km Nizamuddin-Agra section are being undertaken.

Gatiman Express which runs at a maximum speed of 160 kmph on Delhi-Agra section has been equipped with TPWS.

The 25-km Dum Dum-Kavi Subhash section of Kolkata Metro is also equipped with TPWS.

To ensure safety, all electric locomotives are equipped with Vigilance Control Device (VCD) to ensure alertness of loco pilot.

According to railways, all safety category railway employees are given structured training as per prescribed periodicity at various stages of their career. They also undergo mandatory refresher training programmes.

Due emphasis is laid on practical training which help assimilate technology transferred and skill upgradation. Safety category staff are also given training in disaster management, it said.

Delays of atleast 6 more months in GE proposed plant in Bihar. The file is pending in pollution control department for 2 months and " Zero "progress has been made because the board has no chairman.... it usually takes 3 months to get a clearance....

http://www.telegraphindia.com/1160728/jsp/frontpage/story_99195.jsp#.V5mKdEwnvq1.twitter

It has been a very wrong move for Centre to award this project to Bihar... it would have had started rolling locomotives by this year end if it was in any other place. Say even Bokaro or TATA, or even Ranchi ( we have lots of area lying unused at HEC ) , no to West Bengal for obvious reasons , if they wanted a project in east India , else Gujarat and Maharastra should have been preferred.

And the delays will be even more .... expect few cases in court for how the land has been acquired , and the twist here is that the organisations who are planning to go to Patna High court are themselves supported by RJD ... and Left.

unfortunately this has become a trend after Nano project fiasco in Singur. Such a huge investment from railways could have had a huge impact and created a positive environment for business in state.
What is Nitish kumar doing? I thought he was a forward progressive person.
I really won't be surprised if the project is moved somewhere else.

Super power in the making

He used to be. Now he has shifted to more regressive positions especially since he is in dalliance with that laloo crook.

I still rate him better than the average lot of state leaders....but do not expect him to rush heavy industrialisation that much without the delays to extract as many upfront concessions (which is really why the bureaucracy is there) for the largesse of RJD especially to keep them pacified and happy. Jungle raj has swept right back in. All because he doesn't like Modi. Sad.
