Magnificent Koyna Dam 😍 It is the largest Hydroelectric project in India with a capacity of 1960 MW Koyna Reservoir with a gross storage of 105 TMC, is now 100% full. Currently discharging 52000 Cusecs into koyna river while the Inflow stands at 36000 Cusecs 📷Vaibhav Deshmukh

Zoji la tunnel update Excavation of 10 out of 14.2 Km has been completed. It is the longest bi directional single tube tunnel in asia bypassing the Zoji la pass on NH 1 connecting Srinagar to Leh via Kargil

From being called as 'Mountain rats' and 'Mere zamindars of Deccan' by mughals to enslaving Mughal Emperor and controlling Indian Subcontinent, Marathas had come a long way!

The Aswan High Dam on Nile river in Egypt is one its kind. With 4700 TMC storage capacity, it has brought around 20 lakh acres of land under irrigation. What's more interesting is the base of the dam which is 1 km wide Lake Nasser, the reservoir of dam via NASA Earth Observatory

Except for a green line patch around the Nile river, nearly 95% of the Egypt is desert. Rest 3-4% arable land & population, both are concentrated on river banks. Nile Delta has always been an area of high population density since ages. Satellite Imagery ≡ Population density map

You need 1000-1100m Minimum Curve Radius to run Trains at 160kmph , Min Radius for New Conventional Railway Lines should be 1000m so that Operating Speed can be raised to 160kmph. As per RB guidelines , Track Geometry for New Railway Lines is to be made fit for 130kmph

Out of the 4 railway lines originating from Mumbai, except for the one line going north to Gujarat, rest 3 were very difficult to construct because of the terrain. Mumbai - Manmad Jn : Kasara (Thal) ghat Mumbai - Pune : Bhor ghat Mumbai - Ratnagiri - Goa : Konkan Railway

I was going through the locations of Dmart stores printed on back of the bill. 29 out of 120 Cities, where Dmart has a presence, are in Maharashtra. If we go by number of stores, this ratio of ~25% will further rise bcz of multiple stores in Mumbai, Pune, CSN, Nagpur & Nashik

Koyna - Warna region in Sahyadri is a unique example of Reservoir Induced Seismicity, in which, the pressure exerted by huge dams induces movement in tectonic plates. There've been 222 instances of earthquakes (of Magnitude>4.0) in this area after the construction of Koyna Dam.

No matter whether it's an Eway or a highway, If you're driving in India, be hypervigilant and never ever go beyond 100 Kmph.

Manmad - Ankai - Parbhani line needs a doubling with a MPS of 130 kmph. Parbhani - Mudkhed is already a double track. Doubling will enable faster connectivity from Mumbai & Nashik to Marathwada. This line is single track since its inception as Godavari Valley Railway 125 yrs ago.
