कोल्हान के एलीफेंट जोन में रेल लाइन के नीचे बनेगा सबवे

To protect elephants from being hit by trains, a plan to build a subway beneath the railway line in the Kolhan elephant zone has been proposed. The plan emerged from a meeting between the Chakradharpur Railway Division and the Forest Department. Both parties agreed to share information regarding elephant movement near...

the line. The speed limit for trains in the elephant zone (Goilkera-Manoharpur, Kokpada-Chakuliya, and Chandil-Gundavihar) from 10 PM to 6 AM has been reduced to 50 km per hour, allowing for swift train stoppage upon elephant sighting. This safety measure follows the deaths of over 18 elephants and their calves since 2017 due to trains on the Howrah-Mumbai route. The subway plan was initially conceived four to five years ago in the Chakradharpur division, but due to the vigilance of loco pilots and railway personnel, the lack of accidents prompted the project to be put on hold. Senior DCM Aditya Chaudhary from the Chakradharpur Railway Division highlighted the cooperation between the Railway and Forest Departments to ensure elephant safety. The urgency for this initiative stemmed from an incident on October 14th when a baby elephant was struck and killed by a goods train near Bandomunda. The loco pilots were arrested by the Forest Department, leading to protests from railway staff and prompting their release after 15 hours. On the Tata-Badampahar route, near Haldipokhur station, three elephants were spotted near the tracks. As a precaution, the train speed was reduced and the Forest Department advised the use of loud horns to deter elephants.

Kolhan ke elephant zone mein, railway line ke niche ek subway banaya jaayega, taaki hathis line par chadhne ke badle subway ke through aawajahi kar sake. Chakradharpur Mandal Railway aur Van Vibhag ki meeting mein ye plan banaya gaya hai. Dono parties hathis ke line ke aas-paas wichaaran ki soochna aadan-pradaan...

karne par sahmati banee hai. Wahi, loco pilots ko fir se aadesh diya gaya hai ki elephant zone (Goilkera-Manoharpur, Kokpada-Chakuliya, aur Chandil-Gundavihar) mein raat 10 baje se subah 6 baje tak trains ki speed 50 km/h hi rakhen. Isse hathis ko dekhkar tatkal train roki ja sakegi. Howrah-Mumbai marg par trains ki chapet mein aakar 2017 se ab tak 18 se zyada hathis aur unke bachchon ki mout ho chuki hai. Line ke niche subway banane ki plan chakradharpur mandal mein chaar-paanch varsh purv bani thi, parantu loco pilots aur rail karmchariyon ki satarkta se mandal mein hathis ke train ki chapet mein aane ki ghatna kai mahine nahin hone se subway par kaam nahin hua. Chakradharpur mandal railway ke senior DCM Aditya Chaudhary ne bataya ki van vibhag se hathis ki suraksha par kai mudde par baat hui hai. Isse dono vibhag samyukta roop se hathis ki suraksha par kaam karenge. Yeh hai karan Chakradharpur rail mandal mein Bandomunda ke paas 14 October ki raat malgadi ki chapet mein aakar hathis ke bacche ki mout hui thi. Isse van vibhag ne malgadi duty Tatanagar ke dono loco pilots Manoj Kumar aur Kaviraj Kumar ko giraftar kar liya tha. Iske khilaf sabhi lobby mein loco pilots dharna-pradesh karne lage to rail adhikariyon ki pehel se 15 ghante baad loco pilots ko bayan darj karne ke baad van vibhag ne chhoda. Haldipokhur ki line par aaya tha hathis Tata-Badampahar marg sthit Haldipokhur station ki line kinare teen hathis ke ghoomne ki soochna par 10 din pehle railway ne trains ki speed kam kar di thi. Rakhamains ke van karmchi ne railway ko patra dekar line kinare hathis ke ghoomne ki jaankari di thi. Wahi, tej aawaz mein engine se horn bajane ka sujhav diya tha, taaki train aane par horn ke aawaj se hathis line se door chale jaaye.
