শুভ জন্মদিন - কলকাতা মেট্রো
==========
.
জন্মদিনটা আজও চোখের সামনে ভাসে অনেকের ৷ ২৪ শে অক্টোবর ১৯৮৪ ৷ ভারতের প্রথম মেট্রো রেল চলাচল শুরু হল পশ্চিমবঙ্গের কলকাতায় ৷ না, তখনও কলকাতা ছিল ক্যালকাটা ৷ প্রবাদটা কিন্তু আবার প্রমাণ হয়ে য়ায়, ‘বাংলা আজ যা করে ভারত ভাবে তার অনেক পরে’৷

কলকাতা মেট্রোর সক্ষিপ্ত ইতিহাস
============
.
1) ১৯৮৪ সালে মেট্রো রেল চলাচল শুরু হলেও অনেক আগেই ১৯৫০ সালে মাটির তলায় রেল যোগাযোগের কথা ভেবে ছিলেন বাংলার রূপকার তৎকালিন মুখ্যমন্ত্রী বিধানচন্দ্র রায় ৷ শুধু ভাবাই নয়, ফরাসী ইন্জীনিয়ারদের নিয়ে একটি বিশেষজ্ঞ দল সার্ভেও করে কলকাতায় ৷ কিন্তু সেই সময় আর মেট্রো রেল প্রজেক্ট ফলপ্রসু হয় নি ৷ যদি হত তাহলে আরও অনেক আগেই জন্ম নিত বাংলা তথা ভারতের প্রথম মেট্রো রেল ৷
.
2) ৮০ র দশকেই কলকাতায় এলাকার তুলনায় রাস্তা ছিল মাত্র ৪.২ শতাংশ ৷ যেখানে সেই সময় দিল্লীতে রাস্তার পরিমাণ ছিল মূল এলাকার ২৫ শতাংশ ও ৩০ শতাংশের অনেক বেশি ভারতের বাকি বড় শহরগুলিতে ৷ ফলে কলকাতায় মেট্রো রেলের প্রয়োজন ছিল সবচেয়ে বেশি ৷ আর তাই, ১৯৬৯ সালে তৈরি হল মেট্রোপলিটন ট্রান্সপোর্ট প্রজেক্ট বা MTP ৷
এই প্রকল্পের প্রতিবেদনে কলকাতার ট্রাফিক সমস্যার সমাধানে দ্রুত পরিবহন ব্যবস্থা চালু করা ছাড়া অন্য কোনো বিকল্প পথ নেই বলে জানানো হয়। এই প্রজেক্টে ছিলেন রাশিয়া ও জার্মান বিশেষজ্ঞরা ৷

A short message from CRRC Corporation Ltd. click here
One high-speed EMUs with more than 500,000 parts and components requiring more than 360 processes is deemed a huge project. Do you know what the last process is before a high-speed train leaves the factory?
In #CRRC Sifang, there’s a circular test line measuring 3.69 kilometers. It doesn’t matter if it’s a high-speed rail train or an urban rail subway, each car must undergo a “physical examination” and have a trial run on this test line before delivery. In this final process, the staff have to perform thousands of tests on the train to ensure than it meets performance standards.
