<p>The medical department of the Vadodara division of Western Railway recently successfully organized a pulse polio vaccination camp at Vidya Mandir, Pratap Nagar Railway Colony, as part of the national pulse polio campaign. The aim of this campaign was to provide oral polio vaccine (OPV) doses to all children under the age of five to protect them from polio.</p>
<p>According to a press release issued by Anubhav Saxena, the public relations officer of Vadodara division, railway officials, employees, and their families enthusiastically participated in the camp and administered polio doses to their children under five years of age. The health unit's doctors and paramedical staff not only vaccinated the children but also raised awareness among parents about polio eradication. During the campaign, parents were informed that although India is polio-free, the wild polio virus is still active in neighboring Pakistan.</p>
<p>Due to international travel, there remains a risk of its resurgence. Therefore, during each national pulse polio campaign, every child under five years of age must receive two drops of oral polio vaccine, even if they have been vaccinated previously, to ensure their immunity remains strong and the country stays polio-free. The medical department of Vadodara division is continuously committed to successfully conducting such public health campaigns for the better health and safe future of children.</p>

As per the guidelines received from the Ministry of AYUSH, a yoga session was organized on the theme 'Yoga for Healthy Ageing'.</p>
<p>The yoga session took place at the railway auditorium in Pratapnagar from 6:00 AM to 7:50 AM, starting with the national song Vande Mataram. Under the guidance of renowned yoga instructors from Vadodara, Mrs. Krishna Patel and Kumari Khushi Patel, along with their team, various yoga asanas, pranayama, and meditation practices were conducted for railway officials, employees, and their families as per the common yoga protocol set by the Ministry of AYUSH. On this occasion, the Divisional Railway Manager of Vadodara, Raju Bhadke, stated that yoga is essential for our physical, mental, and spiritual cleanliness.</p>
<p>It is necessary to incorporate this invaluable ancient cultural heritage of India into our daily lives. Yoga leads us from stress and negativity to creativity and a stress-free life, generating new possibilities and energy in life. He emphasized that not only should railway employees adopt yoga in their daily lives, but they should also inspire their family members to do so, so that everyone can remain physically and mentally healthy.</p>

Bhadke inspected this significant work with senior officials during his visit to the station.</p>
<p>He stated that the aim of this ambitious project is to enhance operational safety, expand line and platform capacity, improve train operation efficiency, and provide better facilities for passengers. Furthermore, the station's infrastructure is being strengthened to meet future transportation needs. This infrastructure development initiative will enhance Vadodara station's capacity to handle increasing traffic loads in the future and ensure safe, convenient, and efficient travel for millions of rail passengers.</p>
<p>The modernization of train operations through a VDU-based system will replace the current traditional panel-based system at Vadodara station with a modern Visual Display Unit (VDU) based system. This new system will make monitoring and controlling train operations faster, more convenient, and reliable. The VDU system displays signaling and routing information clearly and in a user-friendly format on computer screens, assisting station operational staff with better visibility, quick route setting, and prompt decision-making.</p>
<p>This system will reduce the likelihood of human errors, facilitate the identification of technical faults, and bring significant improvements in operational safety and efficiency. To enhance safety and reliability, the existing double slip diamond crossing will be removed. This complex track structure allows trains to cross tracks and change routes at the same location but requires more maintenance due to its numerous moving components and imposes speed restrictions.</p>
<p>Its removal will simplify the track structure, increase reliability, reduce maintenance needs, and make train movements in the station yard safer and more convenient. Platforms 4 and 5 are being extended to accommodate trains with 22 LHB coaches. This extension will ensure that all coaches of long-distance trains remain within the platform limits, making the boarding and alighting process safer and more convenient for passengers.</p>
<p>Additionally, it will facilitate the operation of longer trains considering the anticipated increase in passenger numbers. Improved connectivity for platforms 5 and 6 will connect the rail lines of platforms 5 and 6 directly to the main line, increasing the permitted speed from 10 kilometers per hour to 30 kilometers per hour. This improvement will reduce the time taken for the arrival of down trains and enhance operational efficiency, train handling capacity, and punctuality.</p>
<p>The permitted speed on loop lines 04 and 05 will be increased from 10 kilometers per hour to 15 kilometers per hour, making train movements within the yard faster and more efficient, thereby increasing yard operational efficiency. A new 350-meter long stabling line will also be constructed under the project, facilitating the stopping and maintenance of trains. This additional facility will increase the parking and maintenance capacity for train rakes, reduce congestion on operational lines and platforms, and make rake management, cleaning, and maintenance tasks more effective.</p>
<p>To enhance operational management and staff efficiency, a new station master office equipped with modern facilities, dedicated workspaces, and storage arrangements will also be constructed. To strengthen multimodal connectivity, a new platform number 7 will be constructed at an estimated cost of approximately Rs. 15 crores for Indian Railways, near the high-speed rail station building by NHSRCL.</p>
<p>The tender invitation notice (NIT) for this work has already been issued, and the tenders will be opened on July 23, 2026. The proposed platform number 7 will be directly connected to Vadodara railway station via a travellator, providing seamless movement between the two complexes for passengers. This will ensure effective integration with the upcoming high-speed rail station and provide passengers with a better multimodal travel experience.</p>
<p>This platform will be developed in accordance with Indian Railways standards and will include all necessary passenger facilities such as platform shelter, drinking water facilities, waiting area, toilets, and ticket booking counters. This development and modernization work reaffirms the commitment of Western Railway's Vadodara division to provide safe, modern, and passenger-centric rail services. Upon completion of the project, there will be significant improvements in operational speed, safety, capacity, reliability, and passenger facilities, and Vadodara station will evolve into a more capable, modern, and future-ready railway hub.</p>

These employees made significant contributions to ensuring safe and uninterrupted rail operations through their vigilance, quick decision-making, and dedication.</p>
<p>The honored employees include Ramkishan Meena, Locomotive Pilot (Goods), and Vijay Prakash Yadav, Assistant Locomotive Pilot/Vadodara from the Vadodara division, who were awarded the General Manager Safety Award for their remarkable contributions in the field of railway safety. According to a press release issued by Anubhav Saxena, Public Relations Officer of Vadodara division, Ramkishan Meena, Locomotive Pilot (Goods), during the operation of the VDLR/BCNE train passing through the DFCCIL section on April 18, 2026, noticed a sudden speed limit of 30 km/h displayed on the speed indicator while passing through New Udhna station. It is noteworthy that no prior warning order had been issued regarding this.</p>
<p>Understanding the seriousness of the situation immediately, he demonstrated extreme vigilance, presence of mind, and promptness by safely controlling the train's speed to the designated limit without any delay. As a result of his timely and prudent action, full compliance with safety regulations was ensured, effectively averting any potential unsafe situation. Mr. Vijay Prakash Yadav, Assistant Locomotive Pilot/Vadodara, while proceeding to take charge of locomotive number 38195 (ASN) in Dahej on April 18, 2026, noticed a bright flash in the pantograph while entering the yard.</p>
<p>Considering the seriousness of the situation, he demonstrated extreme vigilance and promptness by stopping the locomotive immediately and lowering the pantograph. He also promptly informed the concerned TLC/CTO, BRC about the incident. Subsequently, a joint inspection revealed that the issue had arisen due to inadequate maintenance of the OHE, leading to wear/fault in the contact wire.</p>
<p>His timely vigilance and quick action helped safeguard the locomotive and OHE equipment from potential serious damage and effectively averted a possible unsafe situation. General Manager Ramashray Pandey praised the awarded employees, stating that their dedication, alertness, and commitment to work symbolize the strong safety culture of Western Railway and serve as an inspiration for other employees.</p>
<p>Vadodara Division Railway Manager Raju Bhadke also congratulated Ramkishan Meena and Vijay Prakash Yadav on this achievement, appreciating their excellent safety work and encouraging them to continue working with the same vigilance in the future. The Vadodara division takes pride in having such dedicated and alert employees who ensure the safety of rail operations even in challenging circumstances, making significant contributions to the safety of passengers, railway property, and rail traffic.</p>

Vadodara Police Commissioner Narsingh Komar and Collector Dr. Anil Dhameliya clarified that action will be taken against hospitals that refuse to treat accident victims under the Prime Minister Ayushman Bharat scheme.</p>
<p>In a meeting held at the Collector's office with doctors and administrators of empaneled hospitals, officials directed the effective and simple implementation of the PM relief scheme. During the meeting, government doctors provided detailed information about the process of working under the scheme and the arrangements for providing treatment. Officials stated that the main objective of the PM relief scheme is to provide immediate and quality treatment to those injured in road accidents.</p>
<p>The initial moments after an accident are extremely crucial, and therefore, there should be no delay in treatment due to financial reasons. Under the scheme, victims injured in road accidents are provided cashless treatment at designated hospitals. The government bears the treatment costs for up to a specified limit for the first seven days after the accident, which reduces the immediate financial burden on victims and their families.</p>
<p>The meeting emphasized better coordination among police, health department, administration, and hospitals. Instructions were given to effectively arrange for immediate treatment of injured individuals by transporting them to the nearest hospital as soon as an accident is reported. Police Commissioner Narsingh Komar and Collector Dr. Anil Dhameliya stated that hospitals that do not have IDs under the PM relief scheme will be directed to complete the process as soon as possible.</p>
<p>They emphasized that saving the life of an injured person arriving at the hospital should be the priority. There should be no waiting for police presence or insurance policy verification to start treatment. They instructed that injured individuals arriving at the hospital immediately after an accident should be treated on a priority basis.</p>
<p>The treatment costs will be covered under the PM relief scheme. If any additional charges are levied on an injured patient or their relatives, action will be taken against the concerned hospital. The meeting was attended by Resident Additional Collector B.S. Patel, Dr. Smita, health department officials, doctors, and police officials.</p>
