Town Inhaled Toxic Air From 14 Years | Nagpur

We have been hearing about the bad quality air in Nagpur in various reports. And one of these also identified Nagpur as the second most polluted city in the state after Mumbai for the low-quality air we inhale in the city. Now, as per the recent reports of the Data revealed for the Suspended Particulate Matter surpassing the national permissible limit. The data was discussed while talking about the action plan by the Central Pollution Control Board in the city.

The said body has installed several monitoring stations in the city at locations like North Ambazari Road, Hinga Road, Sadar at GP, and MIDC Office to name a few. The reports suggest that sine 2006 the limit of 100 micrograms per cubic meter seems to be in the danger zone. And if this continues, the studies suggest it can lead to issues like morbidity and mortality. The studies indicated the pollution level at different locations in the city. Like in the MIDC area in Hingna, the RSPM level has reached to the maximum.

Thus this has given a number of health issues like asthma, lung cancer and several other respiratory ailments. Here it has reached to around 51 and 40 mpcm since the said time and it has been consistently high in this area. Similarly in the area like North Ambazari Road and Sadar too the situation seems to be grim as the pollution levels have stayed close to 100 mpcm. As per reports, many of the areas where there is no monitoring have been hit hard with the bad pollution level.

Cash Crunch Will Hamper City Metro’s Work

As we have seen the NMC hit hard with their city’s poor financial performance. Different seems to be the story of Maha Metro as well as its finances have been hindered with a major hampering of the civic body. This has led both the NMC and the NIT to provide the Maha Metro’s necessary flow of funds to run the show for various work that appears to have been working in the region. The total cost of the Metro function has cost around 8600 Crores, while the NIT and NMC have around 1200 Crores in share.

Nonetheless, with the two bodies ‘ continuing poor financial health this financial year, the Maha Metro seems to be running in a bad way. The two entities currently owe around 868 Crores, as they have only shared the whopping sum of around 228 Crores so far, according to the reports. Now both bodies have raised their hands for failing to pay the said sum thus affecting Maha Metro’s work in the city reported the company’s sources.

This is not the case with the two bodies in the region, but by not paying their share of money for the scheme, even the state and the central government flunked in their responsibilities. In the current financial year, the Maha government has yet to pay about 518 Crores, though similar is also the case with the Government. The base, however, has been prompt in paying the sum sought help from foreign agencies so far receiving no less than 1067 Crores.

दिन में जलती रहती है स्ट्रीट लाईट , लगातार हो रहा बिजली का अपव्यय

नागपुर: यह मामला है लवकुश नगर के पास बने चौराहे का। इस क्षेत्र के आस पास लगी स्ट्रीट लाईट दिन में भी जल रही है जिससे ऊर्जा का अपव्यय हो रहा है। सिर्फ इतना ही यह बात स्ट्रीट लाईट को लेकर की जा रही शासन की अनदेखी की ओर भी इशारा कर रही है।

Hingna Metro Depot ready for May end

Nagpur: The Hingna car depot at MahaMetro, where coaches used in Reach III (Sitabuldi to Lokmanya Nagar stretch) are parked at night, is expected to be ready by May end. Currently, it is half complete, and the trains are available for parking.

A spokesperson for MahaMetro said the depot has an area of 65 acres of which 30.19 acres are used for the maintenance of rolling stocks. The depot consists of twelve components: time and safety office (TSO), auto coach washing plant (ACWP), traction substation (TSS), auxiliary substation (ASS), underground tank pump house, maintenance building, pit wheel lathe (PWL), engineering train unit (ETU), internal cleaning platform (ICP), unloading platform, stabilizing lines and biodigester.

The TSO is for the use of security purposes since the depot is limited to ordinary citizens. It’s all in. The ACWP is for the wash plant bed equipment, where the train is washed from outside. It is through too. The TSS moves MSEDCL’s supply of 33 KV down to 25 KV. It’s ready but the ASS is under construction, which goes down 33 KV to low tension (LT) level.
The UG tank pump room is used to supply water to various buildings inside the depot. Work is underway. Also being under construction is the maintenance building.

The PWL under construction will have a wheel-orientation machine where regular intervals are checked for the wheel profile. The ETU is complete and will be used to store the equipment for the rerailing of track machines.

The ICP will be used to disinfect rolling stock’s inside and underfloor. This building is currently being used for rolling stock maintenance as the maintenance building is under construction. The unloading platform on which the new train is discharged is complete with the help of the unloading equipment.

Research is continuing on the stable lines where rolling stock is stable. Research on the biodigester has not, however, begun.

Nagpur Metro Shops Find Takers

Nagpur: While Nagpur Metro ridership may not be spectacular, its stations are finding takers in the commercial space. This may help to boost ridership. A Metro official said 11 commercial spaces have either been leased or bids received for them so far.

The Institute of Engineers Metro station has launched a coaching program. Metro officials are delighted with the fact that many students use Metro to reach the class.

Naivedyam Group has also leased a shop at Lokmanya Nagar Metro station. A bid for a shop was received at Institution of Engineers, two for Rani Jhansi Square station, one for Subhash Nagar and one for Lokmanya Nagar each. Mother Dairy has purchased three shops at stations in Jai Prakash Nagar, Khapri and Airport. A further offer for a shop in Jai Prakash Nagar was issued.

The stores were rented for nine years. The rent is based on per square feet and depends on the station’s location.

The largest commercial realty project for Metro is the traffic and transport management center (TTMC) across from Yeshwant Stadium. It will have a tower on 25 floors, and two on 19 floors. There will be afoot overbridge linking the TTMC to Sitabuldi station.

Metro had floated bids to develop the project on a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) basis but did not get a good response because of a real estate slump. It has now prepared to construct a new revenue model.

MahaMetro plans to earn revenue from non-ticket sources by more than 50%. Most of this would come from commercial space leasing and commercial and residential property sales. Such ventures are years away, though. Many of them are yet to be designed. The slump in the real estate sector has hindered the agency’s plans.

While private companies are getting a good response from the co-branding of Metro stations. The last day to send bids is February 25, and afterward, the exact number will be known. Under this system, a Metro station will have the name of the private agency paying MahaMetro royalty.
