Road and Rail lines in the Border Regions of Himalayas
Inherently rail lines are more reliable and efficient than roads. As we go up in the Himalayas it is difficult to get speeds above 20 kmph even in fair weather.

But with its utterly flawed alignments, that too on Broad Gauge, Rly Board has messed up all the ongoing seven projects.
India should go for a trans-Himalayan rail network on MG from north-west to northeast.

.. systematically building a rail network on its side of Himalayas which along with roads will serve a vast area from Sichuan to the western end of Tibet.
I am working on such a plan of lines in Himalayas in India.

Kerala Silverline: My take on Panel Discussion
People of Kerala get a bigger dose of disinformation as Suboth Jain bats for KRDCL.
There is the added dose of seize mentality: Rly Bd/Central Govt is not interested in raising speed on the existing lines & building new lines..

..for higher speed of trains, so go for loan from Jica even if it means building a standalone line on SG which will be subsidized for ever by the taxpayer for travel by the affluent.
So govt subsidy for the affluent by the taxpayer.
I will post a detailed analysis tomorrow.

..To R. V. G. Menon:
Sir, you came out swinging! Suboth Jain couldn't give straight answer to even question. For example, your question about existing trains not being able to run on the Standard Gauge Silverline.

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.

..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?
