Hope floats for Pune-Ahmedabad bullet train
Hope floats for Pune-Ahmedabad bullet train:
Indian Express: At a meeting with infrastructure ministers and secretaries last week in New Delhi, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh gave the green signal to the Mumbai-Ahmedabad bullet train service. The elevated rail corridor project is expected to cut down travel time drastically.
The meeting was held to finalise the action plan for the 500-km high-speed corridor, which has a total investment of Rs 20,000 crore. However, Y K Singh, Pune railway spokesperson, said they so far have no intimation about the bullet train plan.
Welcoming the development, Harsha Shah, president, Railway Pravasi Group, said the bullet train plan has been in the pipeline for long. “In 2006, tenders were issued. A Japanese company had also evinced interest in taking up the project, but nothing happened so far. But the latest development is heartening. If work starts on the Mumbai-Ahmedabad bullet train plan, the Pune-Mumbai-Ahmedabad plan would also get a push,” Shah said.
The train is expected to run at 350 km per hour reducing the travel time between Pune and Mumbai. “The train service will cover Lonavala, Karjat and Wadala and from there will head towards Ahmedabad” she said, adding at present, Duronto, the fastest train from Pune to Ahmedabad takes over seven hours. With the bullet train, commuters will reach Ahmedabad in two-and-a-half hours.
She said, “Planning and laying of tracks would take time, so if work starts in a few months then in five years the bullet train should be ready. In case of further delay, the project cost would go up.”
Rajesh Rathore, a regular commuter, said, “Places where the bullet train would take a halt would get a major boost.”

Land for 10 sports grounds opened up in Pimpri-Chinchwad:
Indian Express: The Pimpri-Chinchwad New Township Development Authority (PCNTDA) has cleared nearly 8.5 hectares for development of sports grounds, a project which was earlier stuck in various stages. The open spaces will be developed by PCNTDA and handed over to Pimpri-Chinchwad Municipal Corporation (PCMC).
The PCNTDA, which has 22,000 hectares under it, has been carrying out drives to clear out the encroachments to open up space for various projects. The PCNTDA recently announced that after housing schemes in certain sectors, the focus will be on open spaces in each of the 42 sectors.
Yogesh Mhase, chief executive officer, PCNTDA, said these spaces will be used for various sports activities. “We were able to clear these open spaces to be used as sport grounds. The PCNTDA will also be developing gardens, public toilets, houses for senior citizens and shelter homes,’’ he said.
The sport grounds will be developed in sectors 29, 34, 39, 26, 3, 10, 19 and 32. “The 8.5 hectares of cleared land will make way for 10 sports grounds. We are looking for more,’’ Mhase added.
For the PCNTDA, the priority has been housing schemes with gardens, playgrounds, day care centres, toilets and other facility centres in sectors 30 and 31 in Chinchwad as well as a Pradhikaran Bazaar, hawkers’ zone and commercial building in sector 24.
During a committee meeting, it was decided that architects and consultants would be appointed for these projects and work would start in October-November.
The PCNTDA decided that the minimum rate for residential plots would be Rs 3,660 per sq m and maximum Rs 6,120 per sq m. The minimum rate for plots at central facility centres was fixed at Rs 6,230 per sq m, while the was Rs 14,490 per sq m.
The total transfer fee for residential plots less than 50 sq m would be Rs 10,070. For plots larger than 50 sq m, it would be Rs 20,140. The transfer fees for the commercial plots will be double the amounts for residential plots.
Officials from the PCNTDA said pending proposals being cleared and the anti-encroachment have helped.
The authority has been removing unauthorised buildings that have come up since December 2011 as well as old unauthorised nets higherst revenue structures on PCNTDA land.
The state government had lauded the PCNTDA for its anti-encroachment drive. The PCNTDA had listed 16,600 unauthorised buildings, of which 3,500 were built on its reserved lands. Demolition of 450 structures was in various stages.

PCMC school runs comps on solar power
PCMC school runs comps on solar power:
Times of India: A primary school run by the Pimpri Chinchwad Municipal Corporation (PCMC) in Talawade has become the first civic school in the township to use solar power to run its computers.
Vishnu Jadhav, education officer, secondary education, said, “The school (number 98), which is one of the best municipal schools in Pimpri Chinchwad, currently runs five out of its 14 computers on solar power.”
The school’s principal, Adinath Shewale, said, “Solar panels have been installed on the terrace of the building. The 4.5 to 5 KV power supply generated is sufficient to run the computers for six hours a day. Steria India Private Limited has sponsored the setting up of the panels as well as the computers.”
Shewale said the school wanted to inculcate the message of environment conservation among its students. “We undertook the project in September 2010 to use non-conventional energy to partially meet our energy needs. The school intends to eventually run all the 14 computers in the school computer laboratory on solar power.”
Steria’s corporate social responsibility head Chaitrali Inamdar said, “We spent Rs 4.5 lakh on installing the computers and the panels. We want to provide five more computers, which will also run on solar energy.”
The students are taught to use computers from Standard III onwards, so that they can appear for the MSCIT examinations, conducted by Jnana Prabodhini, in Standard VII.
“There are 12 rooms in the three-storied school building, out of which seven are used as classrooms. The rest of the rooms have been used to create a library, computer laboratory, science laboratory and activity room for children,” said Shewale, adding that since the PCMC school board pays the electricity bill directly, the school authorities have not been able to calculate the energy being saved through this effort.
