My Open Letter to Shri Ashwini Vaishnaw Ji, distinguished Minister of Railways on the subject:

"The Kerala Silverline, the most deceptive scheme for any large-scale public rail project, and its implications for the nation's rail transportation system".. ImageImageImageImage
..This letter is in the larger context of how the thoughtlessly planned & executed mega schemes & projects for construction of highspeed & semi-highspeed lines on Standard Gauge, the DFCs and the strategically vital lines in the Himalayas are threatening the future of rail.. ImageImageImageImage
.. transportation particularly travel by passenger trains in India

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
..process began.

I had to seek Court intervention. The Courts ruled that Railway Board acted against me for the malafide purpose of scuttling the review.

An Expert Committee appointed on orders of Delhi HC said that ongoing construction should be scrapped and my alignment..2/6
... should be adopted to start construction afresh. But, Rly Board refused to accept the unanimous recommendations of the committee.

Today, not just the Kashmir Rail Link Project but all 7 projects in Himalayas are in a deep mess because of the flawed alignment methodology..3/6

K-Rail and Railway Board's history of approving projects without proper ground surveys & feasibility studies

With Railway Board still dragging its feet about rescinding the In-principle Approval for the K-Rail plan, it is necessary to ask why Railway Board refuses to learn..
.. lessons from its fiasco in Himalayas where since 1997, Rly Bd approved alignments for as many as eight new line projects in the challenging landslide-prone terrain without any ground surveys, on just paper alignments.

My post in the link above contains a detailed account.... ImageImageImageImage
..The latest victims of this approach are the plan for the semi-highspeed line in Kerala & the strategically important Bilaspur-Manali-Leh line.

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?

My plan for upgradation and expansion of the Indian Railway network:

1. Build about 15,000 km of 200-250 kmph lines to cover the GQ and it's diagonals & link other major cities. About half of this will be by upgrading the existing lines and half as new lines. Total estimated..
...cost: About INR 5.0 lakh crore over a period of 7 to 10 yrs.

2. No more DFCs. Complete the ongoing Eastern and Western DFCs and use them (with some modifications) for carrying freight & slow passenger trains.

3. Drop all ongoing surveys and feasibility studies to build..
... Bullet Train lines. India does not need and will not be able to afford Bullet Train lines for at least next 15 yrs, by when improved technologies like Maglev are likely to be available for speed more than 250 kmph.

This plan also entails:

1. Massive upgradation of the...

In the coming days, resolve of the Government of India and Railway Board to upgrade India's rly system to high speed (160-250 kmph) will be tested. Powerful foreign lobbies, which represent the interests of the manufacturers of airplanes and automobiles and the oil companies,....
... have been trying to cripple the railways in India by preventing it from raising speed and line capacity. Their first success came in 2004-06, when the Govt decided to build the Eastern and Western Dedicated Freight Corridors instead of a 200-250 kmph line which would have...
.... benifited both the passenger and freight transport (both DFCs and 200-250 kmph lines cost the same). Their next success came in 2017, when the Government decided to build the Ahmedabad-Mumbai Bullet Train line instead of the much cheaper and better option of 200-250 kmph..
