Southern Railway's Palakkad Division has launched the 'Swachhata Abhiyan' campaign in two phases, from August 1 to August 15 and from August 16 to October 31 as part of the Independence Day celebrations. Divisional Railway Manager (DRM) Madhukar Roat inaugurated the drive by administering the 'Swachhata Pledge' to the Divisional Office staff and students of the Railway Higher Secondary School, Palakkad, on Friday. Following the pledge, he flagged off a walkathon to raise public awareness on cleanliness. Additional Divisional Railway Managers S. Jayakrishnan and K. Anil Kumar, along with other branch officers and staff, were present during the event. The walkathon, conducted from the Divisional Office to Palakkad Junction Railway Station, witnessed enthusiastic participation.

Overgrown vegetation stifles ‘Oxygen Park' at Ponmalai
An 'Oxygen Park' initiated by the Golden Rock Railway Workshop at Ponmalai in 2022 is a picture of neglect today, with overgrown Beema Bamboo choking the premises of the circular public space. Dedicated to the nation by the then Principal Chief Mechanical Engineer, Southern Railway, Gautam Dutta in March, 2022, the eco-friendly initiative was intended to provide green cover in the Golden Rock locality. It was established after bushes were cleared near the Elephant Park and Rail Kalyana Mandapam. Removal of old soil, addition of vermi-compost, manure and fresh soil were carried out to ensure proper soil preparation. A total of 1,050 of Beema Bamboo saplings were planted in the park. The plant is a superior, fast-growing, and high-biomass yielding bamboo clone, developed from Bambusa balcooa. Its ability to sequester large amounts of carbon dioxide make it ideal for environmental regeneration projects. At present, with the lack of watering and pruning, the dried up vegetation is an eyesore, say residents. 'The park was launched with the intention of creating a green lung within the Ponmalai neighbourhood. Now it resembles a rundown forest that nobody can enter,' civic activist K.C. Neelamegam told The Hindu. Those who venture to peer through the compound fence can see faded signboards explaining the history of the park. The stone seats, domed metal trellis corridor and revolving gates clearly have seen better days. In tropical conditions, Beema Bamboo is said to grow up to one and a half feet a day. Since the clone is thornless and sterile, managing its growth and harvest is simpler than regular bamboo. 'With regular watering and pruning, the Oxygen Park could have been beneficial for the families of railway employees residing in Ponmalai and nearby areas. There are two schools in its immediate vicinity. We are afraid that the park may be sheltering snakes and other animals in the bamboo overgrowth,' said a resident.

Gujarat Confidential: A logo contest
In an attempt to encourage people to participate in Gujarat's 75th Foundation Day celebrations in 2035, the state government has launched a logo-design competition on the theme 'Gujarat@75'. The national-level competition is open between July 28 and August 14, during which people can submit a logo based on the theme that should be 'creative' and 'meaningful', on a government portal. The winning logo will get a cash prize of Rs 3 lakh, while the top five will get a certificate from the Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel who launched the nomination process on Monday. What's In A Name On Monday, the passengers who booked seats on the Ahmedabad-Okha Vande Bharat Express were in for a surprise when they boarded a Tejas Express train instead, owing to technical problems. It turned out that the train operating on this route, Express No 22925, was actually a Tejas Express, not a Vande Bharat. Similarly, the 22926 Okha-Ahmedabad Vande Bharat Express, on its return journey beginning at 3:40 am on Tuesday, would also depart Okha railway station with Tejas coaches, said the officials. The railway officials from Western Railway (WR) said that they had received information that there 'were technical problems with the Vande Bharat Express' and that is why senior officials had decided to run a Tejas train by renaming it as Vande Bharat. This replacement configuration was only for a single round trip, and 'is in the same class as a Duronto', said the officials.
