Mumbai-Ahmedabad High-Speed Rail Project: NHSRCL Achieves Major Milestone As 1st Mountain Tunnel Begins To Take Shape

Published

on

National High Speed Rail Corporation Limited ( NHSRCL) achieved a major milestone on Thursday with the breakthrough of mountain tunnel for Mumbai-Ahmedabad High Speed Rail corridor project. This is the first mountain tunnel in which breakthrough was achieved in a short span of 10 months.

“With a total length of 350 meters and a diameter of 12.6 meters, this single tube horse-shoe shaped tunnel is designed to accommodate both tracks (up and down) of the proposed Mumbai-Ahmedabad Bullet train corridor. Its height reaches an impressive 10.25 meters” said an official of NHSRCL 

This tunnel, situated approximately 1 kilometer away from Zaroli Village in Umbergaon Taluka, Valsad district of Gujarat, is a testament to modern tunneling techniques. The tunnel structure encompasses the tunnel itself, a tunnel portal, and various connecting structures, including the tunnel entrance hood.

NATM technique

According to NHSRCL, the construction of this tunnel relied on the innovative New Austrian Tunnelling Method (NATM), a technique known for its precision and efficiency. “The NATM approach involves a series of meticulous steps, from marking drill holes on the tunnel face to drilling holes, charging explosives, controlled blasting, removal of muck (blasted rock pieces), and the installation of primary support elements such as steel ribs, lattice girder, shotcrete, and rock bolts. These actions are tailored to the specific geological conditions encountered after each blast” said an official.

Mumbai Ahmedabad High Speed Rail Corridor will have seven mountain tunnels, which will be constructed using the NATM Method. The Mumbai-Ahmedabad High-Speed Rail Corridor (MAHSR) project is set to revolutionize transportation in the region, featuring multiple mountain tunnels constructed using the NATM method. As this groundbreaking project continues to advance, it signifies a bright future for high-speed rail connectivity in India, enhancing travel efficiency and connectivity between two major cities.

Sameer Wankhede targeted in The Baddest of Bollywood; Delhi High Court orders removal of objectionable content from controversial series in defamation case

Published

Mumbai: The Mumbai-Delhi High Court has strongly criticized Red Chillies Entertainment Shah Rukh Khan, Gauri Khan and others in the defamation case against NCB Zonal Director IRS officer Sameer Wankhede and said that artistic freedom does not mean mocking a person. After this, the High Court has ordered that the controversial footage related to Sameer Wankhede be removed from the controversial Netflix series The Bads of Bollywood. Sameer Wankhede had filed a petition in the High Court and pleaded that his character has been killed in The Bads of Bollywood and this series has been made to target him. The purpose is to humiliate and mock Sameer Wankhede. After watching some parts of this series, the High Court has ordered the removal of the controversial parts from the film.

Sameer Wankhede’s lawyer had told the court that the character portrayed in the film is a comparison to Sameer Wankhede and that this series has been created with the intention of tarnishing Wankhede’s image. The Bads of Bollywood is malicious, therefore, the above-mentioned controversial scenes and objectionable dialogues should be deleted from the series, on which the court has issued an order to delete the controversial and objectionable content and content. Earlier, while hearing Sameer Wankhede’s petition, the court had sent notices to Shah Rukh Khan’s Red Chillies, Netflix, Meta, and social media platforms and directed them to file a response. To this, Red Chillies had called the film and series a drama and made it clear that it had nothing to do with the facts. However, despite this, the Delhi High Court inquired whether a film drama does not mean that someone’s character is killed and said this, it reprimanded Shah Rukh Khan and the film company. Sameer Wankhede tried to prove through his argument that the character portrayed in the film resembles Sameer Wankhede and that this character has been portrayed in a negative way to target him and in this, an attempt has been made to make fun of Sameer Wankhede through this character, which has humiliated Wankhede, which the court has accepted and issued a directive to delete the objectionable and controversial content. This is a big success for Sameer Wankhede, while Shah Rukh Khan has suffered a huge setback.
