Well the excavation area will have to satisfy the safety of fishery and wild life in Bangal region of Bangladesh and other countries near by

Can't just go around sticking the drill into holes in sea also it raise earth quake in regions due to empty pockets created under the ground , suspect able to fall and earth quake creation


Obviously many nations lay claim to the "resources in the area"

That is okay, that will be taken care of.

I was just curious about your comment that its south china sea.

Weren't the older EMDs supposed to get dual cabs upon overhauls ?

Original WDP 4 had Bo1-1Bo configuration which was later changed to Co-Co (4500 HP configuration).
apart from this their single cab is now being converted to Widened Cab design, but owing to length limitation, putting additional cab is not possible.
So these will run with single cabs only.

Is the BAAZ pic old? As last time I heard about Baaz was way back in 2012. I heard it was not operational since. But now since I when your pic of it (presumably hauling Howrah-NJP shatabdi) I assume it is back in operation.

Can somebody do the honors of thread-banning our beloved brother @rangeela? At least till he comes up with another handle - @satrangi or @ramesh or something like that.

I am really starting to enjoy this thread but it is getting difficult to sift quality posts through the same repetitive Modi-bashing or "horse manure" stuff.

There are quite a few EMDs named BAAZ, atleast 7, you might have heard about any of them...

I have a question for you.

As a railway-knowledgeable person, what is your reaction to our defence deployment problem? On the western borders, in diverse terrain, on the northern borders, counting three sectors at least? Specifically in considering a defence of Arunachal? Is there anything that the railways could do for us??
