धनबाद : 5400 करोड़ से 270 ट्रेनों में लगा फॉग सेफ्टी डिवाइस, फिर भी 5-15 घंटे ट्रेनें लेट

To combat the effects of fog on train operations during winter, Dhanbad Railway Division has installed GPS-based fog safety devices on 270 trains at a cost of ₹5400 crore. Despite this, trains are still experiencing delays of 5 to 15 hours daily due to fog in North India. The New Delhi-Howrah...

and New Delhi-Sealdah Rajdhani Express trains are delayed by 15 hours. The New Delhi-Howrah Rajdhani Express, scheduled to arrive in Dhanbad at 6:30 AM, arrived at 10:06 PM. The New Delhi-Sealdah Rajdhani Express arrived at 9:48 PM instead of 6:18 AM. Other trains like the Purva Express, Netaji Express, Doon Express, and Durgaiana Express also faced significant delays. The fog safety devices, designed to prevent accidents and ensure safe train operations, use GPS technology to provide train drivers with real-time information about track conditions, signals, and crossings, helping them maintain safe speeds even in foggy conditions. However, the device's effectiveness is being questioned due to its inability to completely eliminate delays and its reliance on driver judgment in foggy conditions. Some passengers express dissatisfaction with the heavy expenditure on these devices while still facing delays. The devices work by providing the driver with information about the track, including potential obstacles, allowing them to adjust speed or stop as needed.

Dhanbad Rail Mandal mein, winter mein fog se train ki speed pe brake lagne se bachne ke liye, 270 trains pe ₹5400 crore ka GPS based fog safety device lagaaya gaya hai. Lekin fir bhi North India mein fog ki wajah se rozana 5 se 15 hours ki delay ho...

rahi hai. New Delhi se Howrah aur Sealdah jaane wali Rajdhani Express 15 hours late hai. New Delhi-Howrah Rajdhani subah 6:30 pe Dhanbad aani chahiye thi, woh raat 10:06 pe aayi. New Delhi-Sealdah Rajdhani subah 6:18 ke badle raat 9:48 pe aayi. Purva Express, Netaji Express, Doon Express, aur Durgaiana Express bhi bahut der se aayi. Train accidents rokne aur safe operation ke liye lagaye gaye devices GPS technology pe kaam karte hain. Ye drivers ko track ke conditions, signals aur crossings ke baare mein real-time information dete hain. Isse drivers foggy conditions mein bhi safe speed maintain kar sakte hain. Lekin device ki effectiveness pe sawal uthaye ja rahe hain, kyonki woh delay ko puri tarah se khatam nahin kar pa rahe hain. Kuchh passengers ka kehna hai ki device pe itna kharcha hone ke baad bhi unhe delay ka samna karna pad raha hai. Devices driver ko track ke baare mein jaankari dete hain, jaise ki koi rokawat hai ya nahin, isse driver speed adjust kar sakte hain ya train rok sakte hain.

    These days, every other day, we are getting requests from members to allow email login to their FB-based IRI account. 10 years ago, we had given the option for users to login through FaceBook - in retrospect, this was a mistake. These days, apparently, users are quitting FaceBook in droves because...
