Arebetta railway station is being upgraded: Rly min
Mangaluru: The ministry of railways has decided to develop Arebetta railway station as a crossing station on the Sakleshpur-Subrahmanya Road ghat section of the Hassan-Mangaluru railway line. In response to an unstarred question raised in the Lok Sabha by Udupi-Chikmagalur MP Kota Shrinivasa Poojary, on whether a feasibility study was undertaken by South Western Railway (SWR) to upgrade Arebetta railway station into a crossing station to enhance ghat section capacity, railway minister Ashwini Vaishnaw said that the Hassan Mangalore Rail Development Company Limited (HMRDCL) agreed to bear the cost of development of Arebetta railway station as a crossing station. Adequate safety measures such as flattening of slopes, provision of rock fall barrier protection, provision of boulder netting for arresting boulder fall, provision of gabion wall, and improvements to side drains were taken to enhance safety in the Sakaleshpur-Subramanya Road ghat section, especially in view of the past challenges caused by landslides. The minister stated that the railway electrification works were completed in the Subrahmanya Road to Shiribagilu (14 RKm) and Sakleshpur-Donigal (9 RKm) sections of South Western Railway (SWR). by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like The Secret Lives of the Romanovs — the Last Rulers of Imperial Russia!

The completion of electrification projects depends on various factors like forest clearances by officials of the forest department, shifting of infringing utilities, statutory clearances from various authorities, geological and topographical conditions of the area, law and order situation in the area of the project site, and the number of working months in a year for a particular project site due to climatic conditions. All these factors affect the completion time of the projects. The electrification of the critical Sakleshpur-Subrahmanya Road ghat section of the South Western Railway (SWR), Mysuru division, is expected to be completed by Oct, potentially bringing the proposed Bengaluru-Mangaluru Vande Bharat Express closer to reality.

Gentle giant, bold stamp: MP postal release marks World Elephant Day
Bhopal: A hushed reverence filled the air this Tuesday in Bhopal, as the Madhya Pradesh Postal Department unveiled a special cancellation dedicated to elephants—an embodiment of wisdom, divine reminder of Lord Ganesh and among nature's most exquisitely intelligent beings. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now In Hindu tradition, Lord Ganesh—his elephant head a profoundly symbolic conduit for memory, ingenuity, and serenity. Metaphorically echoing Ganesh's insight, elephants demonstrate astonishing intellect in the natural world. They recognise their own reflections, use tools, exhibit deep empathy, and even appear to address one another by unique names in their calls. Chief postmaster general, MP, Vineet Mathur said, "Elephants are an important part of our eco-system and postal department has always associated itself with important issues, and causes. Hence a cancellation dedicated to elephants was released on Tuesday by director, postal services, MP, Pawan Kumar Dalmia." These elegant imprints are now available to collectors at GPO Bhopal and in cities including Jabalpur and Indore. Beyond mere artistry, the stamp is a call to compassion. "Through such releases, we want to connect with the youngsters. Not many know that it is the female elephants who lead their herds and take care of the feeding, security and other important decisions. So in a subtle way, we are also giving the message of female empowerment," Mathur said—highlighting the quiet strength of matriarchs. This elegant stamp is more than paper—it is a quiet ode to elephants' majestic intelligence, their empathetic hearts, and their sacred bond with human culture, said Mathur. Dispelling notions of postal obsolescence, he said, "The fact is that we have all the modern amenities including netbanking, UPI etc. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now and deposit base of Rs 60,000 cr in MP post offices alone, which is much more than many banks' deposit put together in the state." From astronomy to marine life, the postal department leverages philately as a canvas for discovery. "Right from astronomy to flora, fauna, cultures, nuclear science, astrophysics, history and marine life, it's a deep drive for the youth," he added.
