Metro installing energy efficient lifts, escalators
1 2 3 4 Kanpur: The Kanpur Metro Rail Project's Corridor-1 (IIT to Naubasta) was extended from IIT Kanpur to Kanpur Central in two phases. Now, preparations are in full swing for the third phase to further extend services up to Naubasta. As part of this phase, installation work of lifts and escalators is progressing swiftly at seven stations between Kanpur Central and Naubasta, namely Jhakarkati, Transport Nagar, Baradevi, Kidwai Nagar, Basant Vihar, Baudh Nagar, and Naubasta. Among these, Jhakarkati and Transport Nagar are underground stations, while the remaining five--Baradevi, Kidwai Nagar, Basant Vihar, Baudh Nagar, and Naubasta--are elevated. Notably, all lifts and escalators being installed at these stations are being manufactured in India under the 'Make in India' initiative. As part of the balance section of Corridor-1 (Kanpur Central to Naubasta), a total of 23 escalators and 26 lifts are being installed to facilitate passenger movement from station entry points to the concourse level and from the concourse to the platform level. The installation work is already underway. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 20 Signs That A Heart Attack Is Imminent Learn It Wise Undo Each underground station will have 3 lifts and 4 escalators, while each elevated station will be equipped with 4 lifts and 3 escalators. So far, 11 out of the planned 23 escalators and 10 out of the 26 lifts were installed across all seven stations. Load testing is also being conducted alongside the installation of these systems. All lifts and escalators being used in the Kanpur Metro project were manufactured in Chennai, India under the 'Make in India' initiative. A key feature of these systems is their eco-friendliness. The lifts use regenerative braking technology that helps conserve energy. The smart escalators are designed to automatically pause when not in use for a certain period, further supporting energy conservation. From a safety standpoint, each escalator is equipped with three emergency stop buttons for quick shutdown in case of emergencies. These escalators also provide automatic announcements advising passengers to hold the handrail for their safety. Managing director of Uttar Pradesh Metro Rail Corporation Ltd. (UPMRC), Sushil Kumar, said, "Kanpur Metro team is fully committed to extending passenger services from Kanpur Central to Naubasta. To optimise time, system installations are being carried out in parallel with civil construction at all stations. All lifts and escalators installed are being manufactured domestically under the 'Make in India' initiative. Our entire team and contracting agencies are working with strong determination and meticulous planning to achieve our goal."

Tender row at key F&CC meeting lay bare rift between office-bearers
Ludhiana: The Finance and Contracts Committee (F&CC) meeting scheduled for Friday could not be convened as senior deputy mayor Rakesh Prashar and deputy mayor Prince Johar boycotted the session at the mayor camp office, sources said. The matter has been escalated to the party high command. Over 400 resolutions aimed at the city's development were to be discussed at the meeting. However, disagreements between the mayor, senior deputy mayor, and deputy mayor put a spanner in the works. A few days ago, senior deputy mayor Prashar expressed concern about allotment of tenders by the MC for beautification of parks in Focal Point at an approximate cost of Rs 10 crore. He alleged that MC officials had flouted norms by awarding tenders using the e-mail ID of a retired executive engineer. However, officials said that they had permission from the XEN to use his ID. When mayor Inderjit Kaur called Prashar to attend the meeting, he initially insisted that clarification be sought from officials. The mayor then requested his attendance to discuss the issue with MC commissioner Aaditya Dachalwal. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Remember Him? Sit Down Before You See What He Looks Like Now 33 Bridges Undo Upon the mayor's arrival, he inquired about cancellation of the tenders. She replied that they would hold the meeting before addressing the matter. When deputy mayor Prince Johar arrived, Prashar refused to enter the meeting venue till the issue was addressed. This prompted the mayor to tell him to do as he wished. Thereafter, both Prashar and Johar left the meeting venue. Sources said that the deputy mayor was also agitated by recent employee transfers without his approval. After their departure, the mayor attempted to approach them with the assistance of MLAs, but they remained adamant. MLAs are now expected to intervene, and a meeting has been scheduled to resolve the issue. When contacted, senior deputy mayor Rakesh Prashar said, "Officials should clarify why they opened the tenders from the ID of a retired XEN and why they gave away tenders with less savings for the department. Many tenders are given away in this manner. When we are not given answers to previous queries then what is the point in approving more resolutions?" Meanwhile mayor Inderjit Kaur denied boycott of the meeting by the deputy mayor and senior deputy mayor. "Both had some personal engagements, so they could not attend the meeting. We will fix the meeting again next week," she said. MSID:: 122905555 413 |
