Vadodara posed project’s biggest engineering challenge for NHSRCL
Vadodara: The National High Speed Rail Corporation Ltd (NHSRCL) will be saving at least Rs 2,000 crore with re-alignment in Vadodara alignment of the high-speed rail corridor.
Instead of the original plan of constructing the HSR station by dismantling the existing platform 6 of Vadodara railway station, the station will now come up at platform 7.
Vadodara posed the project’s biggest engineering challenge for NHSRCL.
“Apart from construction challenges, the overall cost has also gone down conservatively by Rs 2,000 crore. The earlier estimate was in the range of Rs 4,000 crore to Rs 4,500 crore,” said Achal Khare, managing director of NHSRCL.
Vadodara: Moving a step ahead, the Baroda Cricket Association (BCA) on Thursday awarded a contract for constructing its international cricket stadium .
Vadodara: After initial hesitancy about taking the Covid-19 vaccine and technical glitches that were experienced in the platform to register for the jab, the phase III rollout of vaccination drive is gathering pace in Vadodara.
The Vadodara Municipal Corporation (VMC) had witnessed a very slow start on Monday, which was the first day of phase III covering persons between the ages of 45 years and 60 years having comorbidities and senior citizens.
Same was the case with health centres in Vadodara rural.
But within three days, more than 16,582 persons have been vaccinated by the VMC and district health officials.
“Our daily average is in the range of 70 to 85 % which is a healthy trend. At majority of our session sites, on the spot registration, is carried out for senior citizens who are coming forward to take the doses voluntarily as the word about safety of vaccines is spreading,” said Dr Uday Tilawat, district immunization officer and additional district health officer.
