My new bio

I saved the country from 3 incredibly wrong & wasteful projects & two ruinous policies of building highspeed lines on Standard Gauge & DFCs. But 7 projects continue.

I was the first to raise the above issues & pursued them ceaselessly against all odds .. ImageImageImageImage
..This endeavour is a work in progress because Rly Board may try to revive these projects & policies: Officially there is no clear announcement of their abrogation.

The 7 projects that continue are the projects to build the lines in the Himalayas in Kashmir, Uttarakhand & .. ImageImageImageImage
..the North East.

The projects that have been shelved after my intervention are the projects to build the line to Leh in Ladakh, the Char Dham lines & the Kerala Silverline.

Although we are rid of lines on Standard Gauge & more DFCs, a lot remains to..

The Wasteland of Kerala Silverline

So the Kerala Govt has now officially stopped wanton expenditure of taxpayer money on the fictitious plan for Kerala Silverline.

People of Kerala must be feeling relieved after 3 anxious years

As I wrote in my open..

newsable.asianetnews.com/india/kerala-g…
..letter to the Minister of Railway, just 2 days before the above order was issued by Kerala Govt, the cause of this deceptive & fraudulent plan's existence is that Rly Bd granted In-principle Approval based on a thoroughly fabricated Feasibility Report..

..which KRDCL hurriedly submitted to Borad in June'2019 just 3 months after the Preliminary Feasibility Report (which was prepared under my guidance) stronly advising KRDCL against the plan was given to KRDCL

Worse, Rly Bd has doomed many mega projects..

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.

Kerala Silverline

Not a war of words: Let truth vanquish falsehood

This article today in Hindu says MD/KRDCL wrote to SYSTRA rejecting Alok Verma's report & asked "Systra to re-work the alignment and cost and submit a fresh report."

Good article..1/3

thehindu.com/news/national/…
..but would urge editors of Hindu to fully expose this campaign of disinformation. Please ask MD/KRDCL to substantiate his claim that this is Alok Verma's report.

The truth: It is Systra's report (See scan of the cover of the report).

Did Systra submit a fresh report? .. 2/3 Image
..If so, where is that report.

The truth: SYSTRA did not submit revised report. Thus, this report of 18.3.19 stands as the final Preliminary Feasibility Report.

I have clarified this in my recent press note of 25.4.22. Copy below... 3/3
