The Palakkad Railway Division is facing a challenge in introducing additional trains due to speed restrictions imposed on the 33-km ghat section between Palakkad and Madukkarai. This restriction, enforced to protect elephants crossing the tracks, limits train speeds to 65 kmph during the day and 45 kmph at night. This has...

resulted in train bunching, reducing capacity and preventing the introduction of new trains. The division aims to increase train speed to 130 kmph on the Shoranur-Mangaluru route but the Palakkad-Madukkarai section remains a hurdle. Solutions proposed include diverting trains via the Palakkad-Pollachi route or constructing an elevated corridor through the elephant-inhabited forest. However, these options require significant investments.

Palakkad Railway Division ko ek badi challenge a rahi hai new trains introduce karne mein, kyunki 33-km ghat section, Palakkad aur Madukkarai ke beech, pe speed restriction lagayi gayi hai. Yeh restriction, jungle mein elephants ko track cross karne se bachane ke liye, din mein 65 kmph aur raat mein 45...

kmph ki speed limit lagati hai. Isse trains bunching ho rahi hai, capacity kam ho rahi hai, aur new trains add nahi ho pa rahi hai. Division ka target Shoranur-Mangaluru route pe train speed 130 kmph tak badhana hai, lekin Palakkad-Madukkarai section ek hurdle ban gaya hai. Is problem ke liye solutions diye jaa rahe hain, jaise Palakkad-Pollachi route se trains divert karna ya elephants waale forest area mein ek elevated corridor build karna. Leikn yeh dono options bahut paise lagne wale hain.

The All India Loco Running Staff Association (AILRSA) has stated that trains cannot be stopped abruptly upon encountering elephants crossing the tracks. They emphasize that applying emergency brakes would only bring a loaded train to a halt after 1.6 kilometers. They argue that the railway tracks are designated protected areas, and...

measures should be taken to prevent animals from being hit by trains. They dismiss claims of speeding in the recent elephant death near Kanjikode station, stating the train was traveling within the permitted speed limit. AILRSA emphasizes the need for subways and the Intrusion Detection System, an AI-enabled system being implemented in elephant-prone areas, to prevent future incidents. They highlight the limitations of current measures, such as whistling and braking, which they deem ineffective.

AILRSA ne kaha hai ki train ko elephant ko dekh kar achanak se rokna mumkin nahi hai. Unhone bataya ki emergency brake lagane se load wali train 1.6 km baad rukti hai. Woh yeh bhi keh rahe hain ki railway tracks protected area hain aur ismein animals ko aane se rokne...

ke liye measures leni chahiye. Unhone Kanjikode station ke paas elephant ki maut ke case mein speeding ke arop ko dismiss kiya hai, aur kaha hai ki train allowed speed limit mein chal rahi thi. AILRSA subway aur Intrusion Detection System ki zarurat pe zor de raha hai, ye ek AI system hai jiska implementation elephant-prone areas mein kiya ja raha hai, taaki future mein aise incidents na hon. Woh current measures ki limitations pe bhi bataya hai, jaise ki whistling aur braking, jo unke hisaab se ineffective hain.
