Bengaluru becoming drug den as cops in slumber: BJP
BENGALURU: The BJP has publicly commented on the recent drug seizures, particularly the Maharashtra Anti-Narcotics Task Forces busting of three illegal mephedrone a narcotic drug manufacturing units in Bengaluru on Saturday and Sunday and seizing contraband expected to be worth about Rs 56 crore, as well as on the broader drug menace in the state. BJP president BY Vijayendra said, Bengaluru, the capital of Karnataka, now being described as a drug hub is not just alarming, but a testimony to the collapse of law and order. After Mysuru, the Maharashtra police have now detected three drug factories in Bengaluru itself. Does this mean our states intelligence department and police machinery are sleeping? Do you have even the slightest concern for our children and youth? Vijayendra added, Our police system must act immediately, without allowing any political interference. I urge the state government to take immediate action. Former DCM and senior BJP MLA CN Ashwath Narayan and Leader of Opposition in the Assembly R Ashoka said it was a failure of the Congress government that Maharashtra police had to expose functional narcotic factories in Bengaluru, while the states own police and intelligence were unaware of their existence.

New airlines that got green signal from Centre will struggle to offer competition, say experts
NEW DELHI: The sudden clearance to operate in Indian skies given to two airlines that had been awaiting the nod for nearly a year appears to be a strong message from the Centre in light of the disruption caused by Indias largest domestic carrier IndiGo from December 1 to 9. The two new airlines are Kozhikode-based Alhind and Hyderabad-headquartered FlyExpress, while Shank Air, based in Uttar Pradesh, was also given the nod last year and plans to begin operations in 2026. Aviation professionals and experts, however, unanimously feel there is no way the newbies can take on dominant players like IndiGo or the two airlines from the stable of the Air India Group Air India and Air India Express. Captain C S Randhawa, president of the Federation of Indian Pilots, is quite critical of the decision. Stating that the newbies can never break the duopoly exercised by the existing airlines, he added, All these three airlines have neither enough funding nor expertise. The best of airlines have not survived. No regional airlines have survived in this country. These airlines are not a threat to any operating airlines in the country as they cannot survive on non-UDAN routes. They face the challenges of finances, aircraft leasing, pilot availability, sustainability, competitive fares and reliability, he stated. The government needs to get fuel under GST and give subsidies to encourage big corporate houses to enter aviation with a big bang to break the monopoly or duopoly. Regional airlines only increase regional connectivity. There is an urgent need for the government to have a relook at the aviation policies of the country, Captain Randhawa explained. He also claimed that Alhind had shut its Kochi office and terminated all employees. Shank Air was still struggling to obtain certification for Air Operator Certification and get aircraft on lease, he added. Training the specific pilots to operate the ATR aircraft or smaller aircraft would take more than eight months. The average life of a regional airline is approximately 3-7 years. Therefore, such airlines starting up with 1 or 2 aircraft fail in prolonged operations and shut shop, he added. Aviation expert Captain Mohan Ranganathan gave zero chances of the new airlines offering any competition. Where are the captains? The title of a 1971 Robert Stirling novel 'Shell Never Get Off the Ground' is apt to describe their situation, he said. A representative of the other leading pilot association, Airline Pilot Association of India, told TNIE, Where are the big aircraft for these airlines to start their operations? IndiGo presently has 434 aircraft and it took them two decades to reach this position. The new airlines need to lease A320 aircraft only from them. Orders placed at Boeing by Air India for the 737s are getting delayed. It will take the new airlines at least two decades to reach the position of these airlines. Spicejet and Akasa Air have been around for some time but they have between 20 and 30 aircraft each and cannot match up to the airlines yet, he added. Captain G R Gopinath, who pioneered the low-cost airline concept in the country through his Air Deccan, said, Permitting new airlines to operate is good for the country as the industry will become more vibrant. The public stand to benefit as the prices will be kept under check. Airlines will become more effective and service-minded. It is good that the government is doing it and it will benefit all. In an earlier interaction with TNIE in Kerala, Alhind CEO Reena Abdul Rahiman said the Thiruvananthapuram-Kochi-Kozhikode sector was their priority. To facilitate this, the company had started a base in Kochi airport as early as August 2024. Alhind Air will begin its operations with two ATR 72-600 aircraft, with plans to scale up to seven within the first year. Alhind Air is also mulling operating in certain routes under the UDAN scheme like Kochi-Mysuru, the airlines operations manager T C Vivek had informed TNIE. Alhind Group, with a turnover of over Rs 20,000 crore and more than 130 offices in India and overseas, is headquartered in Kozhikode and has a regional office in Delhi. This reporter repeatedly tried reaching the offices of Alhind and Shank Air but got no response.

2,961 signal failures per annum in South West Railways cause for concern: CAG
NEW DELHI: Substantial cases of signal failures at an average of 2,961 incidents per annum in the South Western Railway zone reflect poorly on the reliability and availability of signalling systems, according to a report of the Comptroller and Auditor General of India (CAG) tabled in the Lok Sabha on Thursday. The audit examined the performance of the Signal and Telecommunication (S&T) Department of three Divisions, Hubballi, Bengaluru and Mysuru, of South Western Railway (SWR) during the period from 2018-19 to 2022-23. It added that though the cases of accidents in SWR are declining, cases of 'Signal Passing At Danger or red signal jump' (SPAD) and wrong interlocking of points which can divert trains to lines already occupied by other trains are a cause for concern. It observed that adequate time was granted to the signal department by halting the train operations, however, cases of signal failures continued to take place in substantial numbers. Safety audit had also pointed out several irregular maintenance practices. Most of the observations were repetitive which suggests that constant monitoring was absent, the report said. It added, There were several instances of abnormal delays in attending to deficiencies pointed out during inspections/joint inspections by the safety department. The auditors found several cases of disconnection or reconnection of signalling equipment in contravention of Railway Board orders which mandated that no disconnection/ reconnection should be resorted to without issuing a disconnection memo to the station master and obtaining necessary approvals. The report has recorded several cases of non-compliance with deficiencies pointed out during joint inspections by the safety audit. For instance, deficiencies pointed out during the joint inspection of points and crossings at Bellary station yard in December 2020 were not attended to for three months till March 2021. In another case in Kudatini station yard, the CAG said the deficiency regarding broken sleepers at the point region was not attended to even after one year by March 2021. The report has also mentioned a case of averted head-on collision of two trains, one involving train no. 12649 Sampark Kranthi Express. It said that due to the negligence of staff, the track was interlocked in such a way that it made a route for the passenger train to a line already occupied by another train. This serious anomaly was noticed by the loco pilot who stopped the train before Point No. 65A. Had the train not been stopped before the wrongly set point, it would have moved in the down line leading to a head-on collision with a goods train moving in the down line, the report said. Railway Administration replied that in view of the implications on safety, action was being taken against staff carrying out works without following the procedure of issuing disconnection/re-connections, under discipline & appeal rules and deterrent penalty imposed, it added. Further, safety audit reports also pointed out several lapses regarding the disconnection/ reconnection of the signalling system. Auditing the provision of an indigenous train collision avoidance system (TCAS or KAVACH) on a low-density railway network for 1563 route kilometres, the CAG said that the work was sanctioned in 2020-21 for a value of Rs 469 crore. It added that even after a lapse of more than three years of sanction, the detailed estimate had not been prepared for the work by March 2024 and its non-execution resulted in the non-availability of TCAS in SWR. thus, the envisaged benefits of the works to improve the reliability of signalling systems in stations, level crossings and provision of Train Collision Avoidance System (TCAS) and Automatic Block Signalling (ABS) in stations could not be obtained, it added and recommended several measures to improve the train operation safety. Signal equipment failures, though showing a declining trend, are taking place in significant numbers. Maintenance mechanisms are required to be made more effective to avoid the incidences of signal failures, the CAG recommended. Disconnection/ reconnections of signalling assets are to be done as per rules. Maintenance staff are to be counselled for addressing signalling issues, it added, mentioning several other safety checks.
