What important changes have you in traduced and what are your planes to handle the situation in future? It will only grow worse with the numbers rising. There is no foolproof way of projecting demand. When Delhi main was planned in phase I, the projection was that more people would use it from the station side and less from Chandni chowk side, much more than we had expected. We needed modifications in escalators, ticket counters etc. We have done this in New Delhi, HUDA City Centre, Kirti Nagar etc. What has DMRC done to improve safety of woman in the backdrop of some recent incidents? Has the issue of blind spots at station presence of security personnel, been addressed? We are very serious and are reviewing it periodically. We have enough cameras and there are no blind spots as every area is covered. Only the cameras need to be watched more regularly. If a station has a hundred cameras and a person is watching on a screen with four windows, the turn of one spot will come after say five minutes. If somethings happens within those five minutes, it will go unnoticed. We have decide that cameras in some identified areas will remain focused while other will keep changing. No camera that has a snag will continue for more than a day. It will be replaced. Lighting will be surveyed on a daily basis. We will install cameras in parking lots, which are quite vulnerable, and improve lighting. With many more interchange points and a larger network from next year, commuters will have more travelling options and shorter routes, How will it affect public perception? More and more areas will be covered and system utilization will go up manifold. The congestion in the central parts will reduce considerably because everybody will not be required to come to Rajiv Chowk since there will be lot of interchange points. In case of any interruption in any area, there will be alternative routes. One interruption will not affect the entire operation. Commuters complain that they are not informed in time or given complete information about technical snags and how much time would be needed to rectify a problem? It is highly technical thing. Suppose the screen show failure, there are preordained steps. The first things is you switch off and on again, just like a mobile that hangs. If it doesn’t work, the attempt is to take the train to the next station. Evacuation of passengers is only the fifth step. Now somebody may say that the incharge should have taken this decision right in the beginning. What are your views on private participation in metro projects, now that it’s part of official policy? The whole attempt of the government to reduce dependency on the funds to be provided by the central government. That is the main purpose and that’s why they are saying explore (alternative avenues) to the extent possible. One good thing is that they are not talking of a complete PPP but unbundling and identifying areas where you can have private funding like what Kochi has done. They have got a private player to install the automatic fare collection system. We will also explore along these lines. You can attempt a complete PPP in a new town or city, but where we already have a network, having a PPP for one line in between will have serious implication for operations. There is no foolproof way of projecting demand. When Delhi main was planned in phase I, the projection was that more people would use it from the station side and less from Chandni chowk side, much more than we had expected. We needed modifications in escalators, ticket counters etc. __________________ 30 © METRO RAIL NEWS | JANUARY 2018 | WWW.METRORAILNEWS.IN
