Railway Double-Tracking: कॅसलरॉक ते कुळे रेल्वे दुपदरीकरण रद्द करा! केंद्रीय समितीची शिफारस; संशोधकांचाही पाठिंबा

A central committee has recommended against the proposed doubling of the railway line between Castle Rock and Kule in the Western Ghats of Goa and Karnataka. Researchers and scientists support this recommendation, citing significant environmental damage. The Western Ghats, a UNESCO World Heritage site, would suffer habitat loss, impacting flora,...

fauna, and seed dispersal. The railway passes through Bhagwan Mahaveer Sanctuary and Mollem National Park, crucial tiger corridors, increasing the risk of wildlife mortality. Experts argue that the economic benefits of increased coal transport (the project's main goal) are outweighed by environmental damage, particularly given the government's policy of reducing coal use. Concerns also exist regarding the lack of mitigation plans for soil erosion, encroachment, and new road construction.

Goa aur Karnataka ke Western Ghats mein Castle Rock aur Kule ke beech railway line ka double track banane ki central committee ne shifarish reject kar di hai.

nuksan hoga, plants, animals aur seed dispersal sabko affect hoga. Railway Bhagwan Mahaveer Sanctuary aur Mollem National Park se guzarta hai, yeh tiger corridor hai, jisse wildlife ki mortality badhegi. Experts kehte hain ki coal transport (project ka main reason) ke fayde environment ko hone wale nuksan se kam hain, especially jabki government coal use kam karne ki koshish kar rahi hai. Soil erosion, encroachment aur new roads banane ke liye bhi koi plan nahin hai.

Re# 6324317-1              
Central govt. should divert some of the coal traffic running through Braganza Ghat section to other ports if possible and increase passenger traffic here to boost tourism in Goa.
It's a shame that a scenic Ghat section like this doesn't have a Vistadome rail service and even today Goa doesn't have dedicated passenger trains to Belagavi and Hubbali.

South West Railway: जमिनीत सहमालक म्हणून दक्षिण-पश्‍चिम रेल्वेचे नाव; वेळसाव गावात सापडल्या नोंदी, शेतकरी चिंतेत

A disturbing land survey issue has arisen in Velsao village.

D'Souza criticizes certain activists who initially opposed the project but now appear to have compromised, potentially deceiving villagers into inadvertently making SWR co-owners of their land.

ki SWR ka naam land records mein hai, jisse future mein transactions ke liye SWR se NOC lena padega. D'Souza ne kuch activists ko blame kiya hai jinone pehle project ka virodh kiya tha, par ab unhone compromise kar liya hai aur shayad villagers ko SWR ko unki zameen ka co-owner banane mein mislead kiya hai.

outright opposition. Former panchayat member Rokezhinho D'Souza accused the Sarpanch and Gram Vikas Samiti of betraying their earlier stance against the project. The Sarpanch, Maria Gouveia, countered, clarifying that the letter to RVNL wasn't an endorsement, but a plea to address environmental concerns like noise and air pollution and disrupted waterways. She reiterated the panchayat's opposition to the project, criticizing the railway administration for commencing work without proper land demarcation or consultation, even showing incorrect documents.

samarthan hai, jo pehle se ki gayi clear virodhi stance ke khilaf hai. Purane panchayat member Rokezhinho D'Souza ne Sarpanch aur Gram Vikas Samiti par project ke khilaf apna pehle wala stand chhodne ka aarop lagaya. Sarpanch, Maria Gouveia ne iska jawab dete hue saaf kiya ki RVNL ko likha gaya letter project ka samarthan nahin hai, balki noise, air pollution aur waterways ke disruption jaisi environmental problems ko lekar ek appeal hai. Unhone panchayat ke project ke khilaf stand ko fir se dohraaya aur railway administration ko bina land demarcation ya consultation ke kaam shuru karne ke liye daanta.
