दुर्ग-विशाखापट्नम, बिलासपुर-नागपुर वंदेभारत को लेकर बड़ा अपडेट, आप पर पड़ेगा सीधा असर…

In Chhattisgarh, two Vande Bharat Express trains are operational. The Bilaspur-Nagpur Vande Bharat is almost always full due to its 8-coach configuration, leading to high occupancy rates (reaching 117%) and waiting lists. On the other hand, the Durg-Visakhapatnam Vande Bharat, with 16 coaches, faces low occupancy rates, with around 83% of...

seats remaining empty. This has resulted in significant losses for the railway. To address this, the railway is considering swapping the rakes of these two trains. This would mean the 16-coach rake of the Durg-Visakhapatnam train would be allocated to the Bilaspur-Nagpur Vande Bharat, improving the latter's occupancy and providing confirmed tickets for passengers. Conversely, the Durg-Visakhapatnam train would operate with 8 coaches, which is expected to increase its occupancy to over 50%. This swap would also help the railway recover some of its losses. Additionally, the railway is considering adjusting the timetables of these trains. The Durg-Visakhapatnam Vande Bharat currently arrives in Raipur at 6:13 AM, followed by the Bilaspur-Nagpur Vande Bharat at 8:01 AM. The railway aims to reduce the gap between their arrival times to 5 minutes, potentially improving the utilization of the Durg-Visakhapatnam train.

Chhattisgarh mein do Vande Bharat Express train chal rahi hain. Bilaspur-Nagpur Vande Bharat almost house full chal rahi hai, kyuki yeh sirf 8 coach ke saath chalti hai. Is wajah se, occupancy bahut zyada hai (117% tak) aur waiting list bhi chalti hai. Dusri taraf, Durg-Visakhapatnam Vande Bharat 16 coach ke...

saath chalti hai, lekin isme passenger nahi mil rahe hain. Almost puri train khali rehti hai. Log kah rahe hain ki 83% seats khali reh jaati hain. Is wajah se, railway ko bahut nuksan ho raha hai. Railway ab Chhattisgarh mein Durg-Visakhapatnam ki 16 coach wali train ke rakes ko Bilaspur-Nagpur Vande Bharat ki 8 coach wali train ke saath badalane par soch raha hai. Isse, Bilaspur-Nagpur Vande Bharat ke passengers ko fayda hoga, kyunki unhe confirmed ticket milega. Dusri taraf, Durg-Visakhapatnam Vande Bharat 8 coach ke saath chalane par, occupancy 50% se zyada ho jaayega. Isse, railway ko bhi nuksan kam hoga. Railway dono trains ke timetable ko bhi badalane par soch rahi hai. Durg-Visakhapatnam Vande Bharat subah 6:13 AM par Raipur pahunchti hai, aur Bilaspur-Nagpur Vande Bharat subah 8:01 AM par pahunchti hai. Railway in dono trains ke pahunchne ke time mein 5 minute ka gap karne ki soch rahi hai, jisse, Durg-Visakhapatnam Vande Bharat ka utilisation badh sakta hai.

    These days, every other day, we are getting requests from members to allow email login to their FB-based IRI account. 10 years ago, we had given the option for users to login through FaceBook - in retrospect, this was a mistake. These days, apparently, users are quitting FaceBook in droves because...
