Supreme Court Rejects Plea Seeking Clearance By Coastal Zone Management Authority For Railway Double-Tracking In Goa

The Supreme Court upheld the Bombay High Court's decision, allowing the doubling of railway tracks in Goa without prior permission from the Goa Coastal Zone Management Authority. The Court acknowledged that ecological concerns were addressed by authorities and the High Court, leaving the question of law open for future cases. The...
more...
petition stemmed from a PIL against construction by South Western Railways (SWR) and Rail Vikas Nigam Limited (RVNL) in the Vasco-da Gama area, which involved trespass onto church property. While the villagers raised concerns about the project, the High Court deemed permission from forest and wildlife authorities sufficient for the project, stating that double-tracking was a policy decision by the Indian government and shouldn't be challenged unless fundamental rights were violated. The Court also distinguished this case from the 2022 T. N. Godavaram case, which revoked approval for railway line doubling in a national park/wildlife sanctuary, as the current project doesn't fall within such protected areas. The Bombay High Court confirmed that SWR and RVNL weren't legally required to obtain environmental clearance from GCZMA.

Supreme Court ne Bombay High Court ke decision ko support kiya hai, Goa mein railway track ko double karne ke liye Goa Coastal Zone Management Authority se pehle permission lene ki zarurat nahi hai. Court ne mana ki ecological concerns ko authorities aur High Court ne address kiya hai, aur aage...

ke cases mein law ke question ko open rakha hai. Yeh petition Vasco-da Gama area mein South Western Railways (SWR) aur Rail Vikas Nigam Limited (RVNL) ke construction ke against file ki gayi thi, jisme church property pe trespass bhi tha. Gaon walon ne project ke baare mein concerns uthaye, lekin High Court ne yeh mana ki forest aur wildlife authorities se permission project ke liye kaafi hai, aur yeh bhi kaha ki double-tracking Indian government ka policy decision hai aur isko tabhi challenge kiya ja sakta hai jab fundamental rights violate hote hain. Court ne yeh case 2022 ke T. N. Godavaram case se alag kiya, jisme national park/wildlife sanctuary mein railway line doubling ki approval revoke ki gayi thi, kyunki current project aise protected areas mein nahi hai. Bombay High Court ne confirm kiya ki SWR aur RVNL ko legally GCZMA se environmental clearance lene ki zarurat nahi hai.

ಮಂಗಳೂರು | ಕೊಂಕಣ ರೈಲು: ಜೋಡಿ ಹಳಿ ನಿರ್ಮಿಸಲು ಮನವಿ

A delegation of Kannadiga residents from Mumbai has urged the Indian Railways to prioritize the construction of a double track between Thokur and Roha on the Konkan Railway route. They highlight the congested route, with up to 40% more trains running than the track capacity, citing safety concerns. They emphasize that...
more...
space for double tracks was already reserved during the construction of bridges and along the entire route, making it feasible. The delegation also requests the merger of Konkan Railway Corporation with the Indian Railways to expedite the project and address the corporation's financial constraints. The delegation also emphasizes the need to commence the weekly train service between Mangalore Central and Bhavanagar, approved in June 2022, and to address the high ticket fares on the Konkan Railway route compared to other lines. They also advocate for a new railway line from Honavar to Talaguppa to enable direct train connectivity from Mangalore to Shimoga, benefiting the region.

Mumbai se aaye Kannadiga logon ka ek group Konkan Railway route par Thokur aur Roha ke beech double track banane ke liye Indian Railways se request kar raha hai. Unhone route par bahut zyada rush hone ki baat kahi hai, jisme track ki capacity se 40% zyada trains chal rahi...
more...
hain, aur isse safety risks hai. Unhone yeh bhi kaha ki bridges aur puri route par double track banane ke liye space pehle se reserve kiya gaya tha, toh yeh possible hai. Group ne yeh bhi request kiya hai ki Konkan Railway Corporation ko Indian Railways mein merge kar diya jaaye taaki project jaldi ho sake aur corporation ki financial difficulties bhi door ho jaaye. Group ne yeh bhi kaha ki June 2022 mein approve hue Mangalore Central aur Bhavanagar ke beech weekly train service ko shuru kar diya jaaye, aur Konkan Railway route par dusre routes ke muqabale ticket rates bhi bahut zyada hain, usko kam kiya jaaye. Unhone Honavar se Talaguppa tak new railway line banane ka bhi support kiya hai taaki Mangalore se Shimoga tak direct train service start ho sake, jisse is area ke logon ko faayda hoga.

To be frank with you most of these buggers are all in for the money but there are a few people with the dubious agenda of opposing every development project coz they don't want to see the country progress irrespective of the government in power.
There were huge protests when SWR was doing Madgaon Sanvordem track doubling people sat on the tracks and all that nonsense but even then SWR commissioned that and later on protests of small scale still continue but SWR commissioned two more sections this year and another one will be commissioned by the end of this year and protests do continue. Then there is also a strong anti coal transportation movement going on too which has some
...
more...
genuine concerns too like many times the tarpaulins covering the coal trains are torn and passenger trains not getting restored, etc. but these can be solved by the Railways using better quality materials to cover the coal, Railways restoring pre covid era trains and also introducing some more important trains and beside this the central government has to think of viable alternative to coal which in my opinion is nuclear power.

Untill and unless nuclear power is not given due attention and more plants being sanctioned the demand for coal will keep on rising to keep up with the growing energy demand of a growing economy. Also nuclear energy is free of greenhouse gases and other pollutants. Nuclear mix with hydro, solar and wind power is the way forward with reducing coal usage.

There was also opposition to the highway widening project along with doubling and power line transmission projects.
Besides some people in Goa are also opposing new flyovers built in Goa.

Near my small village there is an old bridge which is too old and in bad condition and most importantly it's on the highway connecting Vasco, Madgaon with Belgavi via Ponda

many times me and my friends discuss that hope government constructs a new bridge here before this one collapses and this year the government came up with a project to construct a new one but again the usual suspects came to oppose citing absurd reasons like the bridge will not benefit public but it will benefit only industries. 🤦🤦
Don't understand if they are genuinely fools or agents of chaos.

These buggers are habitual liars most of their children are working abroad in the Europe or on cruise liners and when they are in Goa they go for fishing and hardly any one cultivates any crops there. I live in a village nearby to it just around 6kms and have never seen any one farming there. They will enjoy first world infrastructure in Europe and US but want Goa with bad roads and railways. Hypocrites of the highest order.

Re# 6104195-12              
They already have Vasco Da Gama railway station they should develop it as a proper terminal by commissioning the 2nd pitline and terminating more trains there. Connectivity features are also pretty good there. As far as Verna is concerned it's an industrial estate and a small village that's why it is a freight terminal.
It's a shame that they don't even have a single premium train terminating at Vasco and all are usurped by Madgaon as if all rich people live there and Vasco is basically a slum.
