Another Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) official has been arrested by the Mumbai Police less than a month after the collapse of a foot-over-bridge near Mumbai’s Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus (CSMT) railway station, taking the number of arrests so far to three. Six people were killed in the incident on March 15.

Anil Patel worked with the bridges department between September 2014 and December 2018. He will be produced before the court on Wednesday. He has been charged under Section 304A (causing death by negligence) of the Indian Penal Code.

On Monday, an assistant engineer was arrested. A court in Mumbai has sent the engineer, SF Kakulte, also working with the bridges department, to police custody till April 5.

Deputy Commissioner of Police Abhishek Trimukhe told reporters that, “In the foot-over-bridge collapse case the Azad Maidan Police Station has arrested two BMC officials”. He said the investigation revealed that both of them were aware of their responsibilities and negligence on their part led to the collapse of the bridge. Further investigations were on.

Last month, the police arrested the structural auditor Neerajkumar Desai. His firm, DD Desai’s Associated Engineering Consultant and Analysts Pvt Ltd had declared the bridge safe for use despite some corrosion in the structure, police said.

Meanwhile, the foot-over-bridge at platform number 1 at CSMT station is now closed for passengers till April 26 for renovation and repairs of the landing area of the staircase.

The pedestrian bridge connects the railway station to the Azad Maidan police station and the Times of India building in south Mumbai. Thousands of commuters used to cross into the railway terminus through the foot overbridge every day. It is also referred to as “Kasab Bridge”, given that terrorist Ajmal Kasab was photographed on it on the day of the 2008 Mumbai attacks.

After a portion of the bridge collapsed, it was demolished by authorities.

The Election Commission of India has served notice to the Ministry of Railways after social media users reported that tea was being served on a Shatabdi train in paper cups with PM Modi’s campaign line, “Main Bhi Chowkidar (I’m also watchman)”, printed on them, news agency ANI reported.

The poll body has asked the Railway Ministry to file a reply by today evening for alleged violation of the model code of conduct.

After the photo of “Main Bhi Chowkidar”-taglined cups went viral on social media, the railways withdrew the glasses and penalised the contractor by imposing a fine of Rs. 1 lakh.

The railways also said that it was an “unintentional and inadvertent mistake”.

“Reports that tea has been served in cups labelled as “Main Bhi Chowkidar” have been investigated. This was without any prior approval of IRCTC. Explanation has been sought from supervisor/pantry in-charges over dereliction of duty,” an IRCTC(Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation) spokesperson had told news agency PTI.

It was also claimed that tea was served in these cups twice. The advertisement on the cup was of an NGO called Sankalp Foundation.

The Election Commission Of India has also sent a notice to Ministry of Civil Aviation after Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s picture was seen on boarding passes of Air India. The Civil Aviation Ministry too has been asked to file a reply by Saturday.

Recently, the railways withdrew tickets with photos of the Prime Minister after Trinamool complained the Election Commission about them.

Air India Friday was again found to be using boarding passes carrying photographs of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Gujarat Chief Minister Vijay Rupani, days after the national carrier decided to roll back such passes amid criticism over alleged poll code violation.

On Friday evening, a passenger who took an Air India flight from Madurai tweeted a picture of his boarding pass having photos of PM Modi and Mr Rupani in an advertisement for the Vibrant Gujarat summit held in January.

“Air India had issued notice on March 25 to all domestic stations to discontinue usage of boarding cards with Vibrant Gujarat Advertisement on reverse with immediate effect. Today’s incident is apparently a human error. A show cause notice for this error has been issued to the airport manager of AI at Madurai,” an airline spokesman said.

“Today AI management has reiterated its earlier instructions and asked for confirmation from all stations regarding discontinuation of these boarding cards,” he said.

On Monday, a picture of Air India boarding pass – which had photos of PM Modi and Mr Rupani on it – was tweeted by a passenger, triggering a major controversy. Consequently, the national carrier issued a statement that it “has decided to roll back” these boarding passes.

On Wednesday, the Election Commission issued a show cause notice to the Railways and Civil Aviation ministries over the use of pictures of the Prime Minister on rail tickets and Air India boarding passes as prima facie it violated the model code of conduct.

On March 20, tickets with photos of the Prime Minister were withdrawn by the railways after the Trinamool raised the issue with the poll body.

The railways had said it was a third-party advertisement and leftover from a pack of tickets printed a year earlier was used. The national transporter also instructed its zones to withdraw the tickets.

Last month, the Civil Aviation Ministry “requested” airlines flying on domestic routes to give their passengers a letter written by Civil Aviation Minister Suresh Prabhu that enlisted various “achievements and initiatives” of the Modi government in the aviation sector.

IRCTC or Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation, the ticketing arm of the Indian Railways, offers passengers the facility of filing a TDR (Ticket Deposit Receipt) for cancellation of e-tickets. A TDR can be filed after the preparation of reservation charts, according to IRCTC’s website – irctc.co.in. TDR is meant for individuals who do not take up a journey on a booked ticket. Indian Railways has mentioned few directions for TDR filing, which determine whether a refund is to be processed in such cases. After online filing of TDR, IRCTC forwards the claim to the concerned department to process the refund. The refund amount is credited back to the account used to make payment for the booking, according to IRCTC.

Here are five things to know about IRCTC’s TDR filing facility:

1. TDR filing can be processed only if the customer was not able to perform the journey due to any /or the following reason: train canceled by Indian Railways, train running late by more than three hours and passenger not traveled, difference of fare in case proper coach not attached, AC failure, traveled without proper ID proof, wrongly charged by TTE and if party partially traveled, according to IRCTC.

2. No refund of fare is admissible on tickets having confirmed reservation in case the ticket is not cancelled or TDR not filed online up to four hours before the scheduled departure of the train.

3. No refund of fare is given on RAC e-tickets in case the ticket is not cancelled or TDR not filed online up to thirty minutes before the scheduled departure of the train, mentioned IRCTC on its website.

4. In case of a family e-ticket issued for travel of more than one passenger, where some passengers have confirmed reservation and others are on RAC or waiting list, full refund of fare, less clerk age, is admissible for confirmed passengers also subject to the condition that the ticket is cancelled online or online TDR is filed for all the passengers upto thirty minutes before the scheduled departure of the train, according to the e-ticketing website of Indian Railways.

5. After submitting TDR online, passengers can also track status of the refund case through tracking service provided by IRCTC.

Protesting farmers in Punjab who had blocked the Amritsar-Delhi rail track over the last two days called off their agitation today, police said, after the intervention of the Punjab and Haryana High Court. The agitation led to the cancellation of 38 trains and diversion of 11 trains, officials said.

A petition seeking the removal of the farmers protesting on the Amritsar-Delhi rail track was filed in the court on Tuesday, with the HC issuing notices to Punjab, Centre and leaders of farmers’ outfit Kisan Mazdoor Sangharsh Committee to appear before it on Wednesday.

A senior official said the agitation was called off after leaders of the protesting farmers gave an assurance to the court in this regard.

Farmers under the banner of Kissan Mazdoor Sangrash Committee had been blocking the Amritsar-Delhi rail track in Amritsar in support of their demands, including a full loan waiver, implementation of the Swaminathan Commission report, ending auction of land and arrest of farmers, and payment of sugarcane crop with 15 per cent interest.

Kissan Mazdoor Sangrash Committee president Satnam Singh Pannu alleged harassment and humiliation by banks and other financial institutions over farmers’ failure in repaying loans.

Pakistani authorities on Monday restored the Samjhauta Express services between Lahore and Delhi, days after the train was suspended due to tense bilateral ties.

The train departs on every Monday and Thursday from Lahore.
