कैंट में मानक से कम है ट्रैक के बीच का गैप

A newly constructed satellite station in Gorakhpur, known as Cantt Satellite Station, has been found to have a crucial design flaw. The distance between tracks 6-7 and 8-9 is less than the required 5.3 meters, measuring 4.59 meters and 4.43 meters respectively. This shortfall prevents the installation of water hydrants (coach...

water filling machines) between the tracks. The problem arose because these tracks existed before the station became a satellite, so hydrants were not considered necessary at the time. The station, completed this year, has been instrumental in reducing the load on Gorakhpur Junction and improving train punctuality. However, the track spacing issue may require underground piping for water supply to coaches. The station handles roughly 200 trains daily, including 150 passenger trains.

Gorakhpur mein, Cantt Satellite Station, jo ki ek nayi banayi gayi station hai, usmein ek bada design ka flaw mila hai. Track 6-7 aur 8-9 ke beech ka distance, required 5.3 meter se kam hai. Yeh distance 4.59 meter aur 4.43 meter hai. Isse track ke beech mein water hydrant (coach...

water filling machine) lagne mein problem aa rahi hai. Yeh problem isliye aayi kyuki yeh track station ke satellite banne se pehle se hi the, to hydrant ki jarurat nahi maani gayi thi. Yeh station, is saal complete hua, aur isne Gorakhpur Junction ka load kam karne aur train ki punctuality badhane mein madad ki hai. Lekin track spacing ka issue se water supply to coaches ke liye underground piping ki jarurat pad sakti hai. Station per har din around 200 train aati hai, jisme 150 passenger trains shamil hai.

    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...
