कर्णप्रयाग रेल परियोजना पर जल्द शुरू होगा ट्रैक का निर्माण, इसी माह आवंटित होंगे टेंडर; 71 प्रतिशत सुरंगों की हो चुकी खोदाई

The Rishikesh-Karnprayag Rail Project, a dream project of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, is being built at a cost of ₹16216 crore. Over ₹10748.29 crore has been spent on the project so far. The project is 71% complete in terms of tunnel excavation. The 125 km long project between Rishikesh and Karnprayag...

will have 104 km of rail line passing through 17 tunnels. In addition to these 17 tunnels, the project also includes 12 exit tunnels, as well as adits and cross passages, making the total tunnel length 213 km. So far, 150.809 km of tunnel excavation has been completed out of a total of 213.277 km. The Rail Vikas Nigam Limited (RVNL), the executing agency, is also progressing with the final lining of the tunnels as the excavation work is completed. The RVNL has now invited bids for the laying of the railway track on the Karnprayag rail project. The bids will be awarded on February 24th and the construction of the rail track is expected to begin a month later. The railway track will be a blastless track, similar to those used in metro rail systems or railway stations, instead of the traditional blasted track made with stone ballast. This is due to the fact that 104 km of the rail line will pass through tunnels. While the track within the tunnels will be blastless, the section of the track outside the tunnels will be built using the traditional blasted technique. The total track length will be 133 km blastless and 42 km blasted. Blastless tracks are more robust and require less maintenance.

17 tunnels se hoke guzarega. In 17 tunnels ke alawa, project mein 12 exit tunnels, adits aur cross passages bhi hain, jo ki total tunnel length 213 km banate hain. Abhi tak, 213.277 km tunnel mein se 150.809 km ki excavation complete ho chuki hai. Rail Vikas Nigam Limited (RVNL), jo ki project ko execute kar raha hai, tunnel excavation ke saath saath final lining ka kaam bhi kar raha hai. RVNL ne ab Karnprayag rail project par railway track ke liye bids invite ki hain. Bids 24 February ko award ki jaengi aur rail track ka construction ek month baad start hone ki umeed hai. Railway track blastless track hoga, jaise ki metro rail systems ya railway stations mein use kiya jata hai, traditional blasted track, jismein stone ballast use hota hai, ki jagah. Ye isliye hai ki 104 km rail line tunnels se hoke guzaregi. Tunnel ke andar track blastless hoga, lekin tunnel ke bahar ka track traditional blasted technique se banaya jayega. Total track length 133 km blastless aur 42 km blasted hoga. Blastless tracks zyada strong aur safe hote hain aur unki maintenance bhi kam chahiye.

    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...
