Tarakeswar-Bishnupur rail link nears completion
The final commissioning of the line being targeted in 2025, would facilitate easy rail connectivity between the birthplaces of Ramakrishna and Ma Sarada.
Four boys of class 11 at the Alipurduar Railway High School near Alipurduar Junction have claimed that they have invented a system that can prevent elephant deaths on railway tracks and railway accidents at unmanned railway gates. The boys have designed a project on the system using magnetic power.
The Alipurduar Railway High School displayed the project in a two-day science fair which started yesterday at the Alipurduar Indoor Stadium in the town, which is organised by the Alipurduar district Sports and Youth Welfare Department. As per the model, magnets are installed under railway tracks in the elephant corridor in the Dooars.
The magnets are connected with censors in the railway engines. As soon as elephants start crossing the railway tracks, the magnet will be pressed which will notify the train driver of the movement of elephants on the tracks.
