Railways organises exhibition showcasing partition horrors
1 2 Patna: Danapur division of the East Central Railway (ECR) organised a special photo exhibition on the occasion of 'Partition Horrors Remembrance Day' at the Danapur station premises. Danapur divisional railway manager (DRM) Vinod Kumar inaugurated the exhibition on Thursday. Speaking on the occasion, the DRM recalled that while India attained Independence on August 15, 1947, after 200 years of colonial rule, it also endured the immense tragedy of the partition. "The night of August 14, 1947 marked the beginning of mass displacement, with millions rendered homeless and separated from their families. Homes, farmlands and livelihoods were lost and countless lives perished," he said. "Remembering this grief, the country observed 'Partition Horrors Remembrance Day' every year on August 14, a day before Independence Day, to honour those who suffered and to remind future generations of the value of unity and brotherhood," the DRM said, adding that the railways had transported nearly seven lakh refugees during the partition between August 15 and September 8, 1947 through passenger and goods trains. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like If You Eat Ginger Everyday for 1 Month This is What Happens Tips and Tricks Undo According to Danapur senior divisional commercial manager Abhinav Siddarth, the exhibition was put on display with an aim to educate the youth about the pain, displacement and human tragedy of the partition while inspiring the values of mutual love, harmony and compassion also.

Girl ‘almost suffocated' to breathe in overcrowded train as bystanders mock her; Railways shows ‘concern'
A viral video showing a young girl apparently in distress and struggling to breathe in a train coach while onlookers laughed and filmed her has gained widespread attention on social media, with internet users calling it a 'disturbing behaviour' from bystanders. 'A girl was almost suffocated, stampeded into a train coach and she was running out of breath. The crowd on the platform was laughing and mocking her. What do you call such behavior?' an X user said. They added, Every festival the surge at railway stations and people entering trains without tickets surges, the mob rules the trains. Why cant we have access control to railway stations at least during festival season and especially known stations which have massive crowds trying to get into trains. 'Deploy CRPF etc at such stations during festival peak at selected stations and have access control for them during the peak. I Dont think its an impossible task,' they suggested while tagging Railways and Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw. A young girl, seated by the window in a second-class train coach, is visibly struggling to breathe amid the unbearable heat. Surrounded by a crush of passengers both inside the overcrowded compartment and on the packed platform, she makes repeated attempts to open the window in search of fresh air. At one point, in a bid to cool herself down, she splashes water on her face. What's more disturbing is the reaction of the bystanders. Rather than stepping in to help, several people outside the train are heard laughing, shouting excitedly, and filming the scene. As the girl gasps for air in the sweltering environment, the crowd appears more entertained by her suffering than moved by it. The date and time of the video remains unknown. However, it has sparked the discussion around safety of passengers, especially during festive seasons. 'We are concerned to see this. Please share details Like Place of incidence, Date of incidence and Mobile no. so that we get it checked. You may also raise your concern directly on for speedy redressal,' it said. One of the users said, 'Indian train is like a reminder, one ride in General class and now even Sleeper is enough to make you promise yourself you will work hard so you never travel like this again.' Another commented, 'She's clearly having some sort of anxiety attack due to the crowd & heat. WTF is so funny to the people watching her? Disgusting behavior.' A third remarked, 'This happen on all festivals, Railway should implement strictly that only Tickets holder can broad train and seat based ticket to be issued only.' 'Deploying security and good infrastructure should be essential, but this also shows just how badly we lack basic civic sense as a society,' stated a fourth.

BMC Urges Railways to Delay Borivli's Field Marshal General Cariappa ROB Demolition Amid Traffic Concerns
Mumbai: While, the Western Railway Authority has proposed the demolition and reconstruction of the Field Marshal General Cariappa ROB at Borivli, the BMC has urged the Railways to ensure the flyover remains operational for the next three to four years by undertaking repairs and strengthening. The BMC has pointed out that the ROB is the only flyover connecting Borivli East and West. With ongoing projects such as the Kora Kendra Phase II flyover and the Thane-Borivli twin tunnel project, the demolition of the ROB could lead to significant traffic congestion in both Borivli West and East. BMC officials stated that the Railways had previously indicated that the existing Field Marshal KM Cariappa ROB, commissioned in 1993, has nearly exhausted its codal life, which is set at 40 years. Consequently, the Railways proposed demolishing and reconstructing the ROB, planning to commence demolition from Oct 2025 and submitted an estimate of Rs 87 crore for the project. "The ROB is the only flyover connecting Borivli East and West and witnesses heavy traffic movement and more importantly, construction of Kora Kendra Phase II flyover is in progress, while the MMRDA is carrying out the Thane-Borivli Twin Tunnel Project in Borivli East, which is in the same alignment. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Become Fluent in Any Language Talkpal AI Undo With these two major ongoing projects of BMC and MMRDA, there is already a problem of traffic congestion," said a civic official.
