New Delhi:  On 24 June Delhi Metro Rail Corporation Employees Union (DMRCEU) started  strike, thousands of employees gather near ITO metro station. This was the same day when Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) was celebrating the inauguration of Mundka-Bahadurgarh corridor. And employees of DMRC were on strike, this ongoing strike issue is not a new issue. Their demands are as follow:-
  • To recognize DMRC Employees Union by the DMRC management.

  • To implement memorandum of undertaking between Management and staff council in letter and spirit.

  • To implement Schedule-A PSU pay scale and allowances for non-executive employees in line with executive employees.

  • To restate all terminated employees alleging fake charges under autocratic policies of the management  further  to take appropriate action against the official responsible for a huge loss of INR 4000 crore to DMRC due to irregularities in Delhi  Metro Airport express line project.


DMRC employees union further says that at every time DMRC tells that there is a budget problem but the major question arises that who is responsible for loss of INR 4000 crore? why employees has to pay for this, which was due management irresponsibility. Before starting the strike DMRCEU has already submitted 15 day notice to Delhi Metro Management which is going to end by 29th June.

Innovative SkyWay technologies: Future Transportation

Image
SkyWay string transport is an energy and transportation communicator of elevated overpass type. It uses electric vehicles on steel wheels riding on specific string rails. The main design differences of this system from other types of railroads of trestle design are pre-stressed tension of the structure, the absence of a continuous solid roadbed, low materials intensity in construction and visual simplicity. The main advantages are economic efficiency, environmental friendliness, durability, reliability, safety and, consequently, high market competitiveness. SkyWay transport is developing in three main areas: high-speed intercity type (up to 500 km/h, and in future, up to 1250 km/h with the transition to a pre-vacuum tube) urban passenger type (up to 150 km/h) and freight type.
