Network of Meter Gauge lines in Himalayas
I have been examining feasibility of constructing a network of MG lines from Baramulla, Leh & Char Dham in the west to Nathula, Kohima & Aizawl in the east.
These lines would cost about half to one-third the cost of BG lines..

Respected Minister,
A tale of two CRS reports:
One reveals the passenger safety risks, the other conceals
The Pamban Rail Bridge and the Kashmir Rail Link
The recent report by the Commissioner of Railway Safety, Southern Circle on the new Pamban Rail Bridge reveals the safety risks by examining the lapses in the planning, design, construction and post-construction inspection phases to make an assessment of the safety risks and imposes a speed restriction and prescribes other steps that the Railway should take to ensure passenger safety.
In contrast, the report earlier this year on the Mega Arch Chenab Rail Bridge by CRS/Northern Circle conceals the safety risks by not carrying out the mandatory, all-important load-deflection tests on the bridge. This despite the fact that the lapses in the planning, survey, design and construction of this bridge have been extensively deliberated upon by the CAG, the PAC and the first and the second expert committees in their reports.
Further, Delhi High Court had concluded that the Railway Board had scuttled a proper examination of the safety and other risks on this bridge and the Kashmir line in 2009-10.
Furthermore, Railway Board has assured the HC on sworn affidavit in 2016 that the line shall be opened only after a thorough examination by the safety and security risks by the CRS, who is an independent statutory authority.
Yet, CRS/Northern Circle failed to carry out a proper safety inspection and approved running of passenger trains without the essential load-deflection test which is a proven, reliable and mandatory method to assess the correctness of design and the quality of construction of such critical, very large bridges.
I revealed these lapses in my two detailed letters to you in August & September earlier this year before the line could be opened to the public carriage of passengers (Please read my post in the link below).

I am a retired Railway engineer. In fact, I served as Chief Bridge Engineer also.
I never heard of anything called a "Trolley Trial".
I know there is something called a loco trial wherein you run a locomotive on a bridge to test its strength & stability.
Railway Board, why ..
What a 20+ yr bonfire of public money!
When completed it will be:
World's costliest single line: > INR 30,000 crore to cross a distance of 50 km (So > INR 600 cr per km.
World's most unstable & unsafe line: How long will the tunnels, bridges & cutting built in crushed rocks..
...
..Another disaster recently took lives on the line in the neibourinh state of Mizoram.

Mizoram Bridge Collapse: This inquiry will lead to nothing
With endless structural collapses on the Himalayan new line projects, about 100 workers killed, costs skyrocketing, delays of 15 to 20 years, the Government must first take full cognizance of ..

I am an alumnus of IIT Kharagpur & IIT Delhi.
In 2006-08, I developed a solution to the problems that Indian Rly was facing in building the rail link to Kashmir.
My idea was examined and was being considered for implementation, but soon a vicious campaign to scuttle the..1/6
India's monumental failure at building lines in the Himalayas
The alignment for the Kashmir Rail Link is
โtotally wrong, unstable, very expensive and unreliableโ,
says E. Sreedharan in a recent interview.

Shameless propaganda or Himalayan lies, deceit and/or incompetence?
Decide for yourself.

Somebody sent me photos of two more scary tunnel portals: P2 of T-6 and P1 of T-7.
K-RAIL: WHY HAS RAILWAY BOARD NOT TAKEN ANY ACTION AGAINST MD/KRDCL FOR SUBMITTING FEASIBILITY REPORT BASED ON GOOGLE EARTH AND NO SURVEYS OF GROUND CONDITIONS & RIDERDHIP & DECIDING TO ADOPT STANDARD GAUGE?

And the Government should also order a probe into how this project on Standard Gauge got approval of Railway Board on the basis of a ridiculously absurd alignment and feasibility report.
