Railway labourers walk on the uprooted railway track after it was damaged by protesters at Ghagwal about 57 KM from the Northern Indian city of Jammu, the winter capital of Kashmir on 05 August 2008. Protesters uprooted a portion of the rail track Jammu-Pathankot as the Amarnath land row agitation. The Indian Army was called in to help the administration in maintaining law and order after violent protests over the Jammu and Kashmir governments recent decision to cancel the transfer of 99 acres of land to a Hindu shrine in Indian Kashmir.

WDG3A 14743 of Ludhiana assigned for leading 54621 Jalandhar City - Pathankot Passenger, captured at Jalandhar City.

The loco was in shut down mode, so I was able to make its cranking & start-up video, which is available in youtube.

Manali is a hill station nestled in the mountains of the Indian state of Himachal Pradesh near the northern end of the Kullu Valley, at an altitude of 2,050 m in the Beas River Valley. It is located in the Kullu district, about 270 km north of the state capital, Shimla. The small town, with a population of 8,096, is the beginning of an ancient trade route to Ladakh and from there over the Karakoram Pass on to Yarkand and Khotan in the Tarim Basin. It is a popular tourist destination and serves as the roadway to other northern hill stations.

GEOGRAPHY

Manali is located at 32.2396 N, 77.1887 E, about 40 km north of Kullu town. The town ranges in elevation from 1,800 m to 2,000 m in the uppermost Old Manali section.

DEMOGRAPHICS

Manali is a small town; as of the 2011 census of India, its population was 8,096. In 2001, Manali had an official population of 6,265. Males constituted 64% of the population and females 36%. Manali had an average literacy rate of 74%, higher than the national average of 59.5%; male literacy was 80%, and female literacy was 63%. 9% of the population was under six years of age.

CLIMATE

The climate in Manali is predominantly cold during winters, and moderately cool during summers. The temperatures range from 4 °C to 20 °C over the year. The average temperature during summer is between 04 °C and 15 °C, and between −15 °C and 05 °C in the winter. Monthly precipitation varies between 31 mm in November to 217 mm in July. In average, some 45 mm of precipitation is received during winter and spring months, increasing to some 115 mm in summer as the monsoon approaches. The average total annual precipitation is 1,363 mm. Snowfall often takes place between November end to early February. The weather in Manali is not stable.

HISTORY

Manali is named after the lawgiver Manu. The word Manali is regarded as the changed name of "Manu-Alaya" which literally means "the abode of Manu". Legend has it that sage Manu stepped off his ark in Manali to recreate human life after a great flood had deluged the world. Manali is also often referred to as the "Valley of the Gods". The Old Manali village has an ancient temple dedicated to sage Manu.

The British introduced apple trees and trout. The first apple orchard was set up by the British near Patlikuhl, which were earlier not native to Manali. It is said that when apple trees were first planted, the fruits were so plentiful that often branches, unable to bear the weight, would collapse. To this day, apple - along with plum and pear - remain the best source of income for the majority of inhabitants.

Tourism in Manali received a boost after the rise of militancy in Kashmir in the late 1980s. This once quiet village was transformed into a bustling town with many hotels and restaurants.

The British introduced apple trees and trout. The first apple orchard was set up by the British near Patlikuhl, which were earlier not native to Manali. It is said that when apple trees were first planted, the fruits were so plentiful that often branches, unable to bear the weight, would collapse. To this day, apple - along with plum and pear - remain the best source of income for the majority of inhabitants.

Tourism in Manali received a boost after the rise of militancy in Kashmir in the late 1980s. This once quiet village was transformed into a bustling town with many hotels and restaurants.

Advani overwhelmed by the massive turnout in the Samapan Rally in Ramlila Maidan

JANCHETNA YATRA IS THE START OF A NEW MOVEMENT TO END CORRUPTION, PRICE SPIRAL FROM THE COUNTRY-LALKRISHNA ADVANI

New Delhi, 20th November. Addressing massive turnout of people in the Samapan Rally of Janchetna Yatra organized by BJP Delhi Pradesh, Shri Lalkrishna Advani said that the Yatra of BJP against corruption has concluded today but the movement against corruption will continue till the countrymen are satisfied in this regard. He administered an oath to the people present on this occasion “Rishwat na lenge, na denge.” He also raised slogans with the people “Bhrastachar mitana hai, Kaladhan wapas lana hai, Bharat ko naya banana hai.” Shri Advani told that he has never seen such large public meeting in Ramlila Maidan in his 40 days yatra and 50 years of his political career. He heartily congratulated Pradesh BJP President Sh. Vijender Gupta and his colleagues for it. Pradesh President Shri Vijender Gupta presided over this programme today.

Advaniji told that I am overwhelmed by the massive turnout in Delhi. I will remember whole life the unprecedented welcome accorded to him in the 30 kms route from Ghaziabad to border of Delhi and Ramlila Maidan. During four hours of the rally, the people continued to come in hoards at the end of the rally. The banners and flags of BJP could be seen everywhere in Delhi.

The leaders who were present in the dais of the Samapan Rally include National President Shri Nitin Gadkari, former National President Shri. M. Venkaiah Naidu, Shri Rajnath Singh, Smt. Sushma Swaraj, Sh. Arun Jaitley, NDA Convenor Sh. Sharad Yadav, Sh. Anant Kumar, Sh. Ravishankar Prasad, Prof. Vijay Kumar Malhotra, Sh. Ramdas Atthavle and representatives of the constituents of NDA. A representative MP of the Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu Ms. Jailalita specially came to participate in this rally. Pradesh General Secretary Ashish Sood conducted the programmme.

Shri Advani added that this was his sixth National Yatra. He mentioned that this time the blessings of Sh. Atalji was with him but his absence was regrettable. There is acrimony and frustration among the people on the issue of corruption, price spiral, black money in the entire country. The objective for which the Yatra was taken out through 27 states and 5 Centrally Ruled States has been achieved. One has never seen such corrupt and inefficient Government in country. Even after repeated assurances of the Prime Minister and the Government price spiral and corruption are uncontrolled. The intentions of the Government are not good on the issue of ending corruption. People are suffering due to the failure of Government in discharging its responsibilities. For the first time ministers of the Government have been sent to jail. There is lack of political will power in the Government to pass effective Lokpal Bill. He told that in Tamil Nadu and Keral the yatra was given maximum support. I came across many places like Mandi and Pathankot where people created history of Rallies and Public Meetings.

Shri Nitin Gadkari, Shri Sharad Yadav, Smt. Sushma Swaraj, Shri Arun Jaitley, Shri Rajnath Singh, Shri M. Venkaiah Naidu, Shri Vijender Gupta and leaders of the NDA addressed the Samapan Rally. In his fluent speech Shri Nitin Gadkari told that he wants to assure Shri Advani that he will not take rest till he dislodges the corrupt UPA Government. The Yatra has concluded but not the movement. The struggle of BJP on the issue of corruption, price spiral and black money will continue from the Parliament to the streets of the country. He told that he never saw such headless, untrustworthy government in the country. Explaining the objectives of Janchetna Yatra, Shri Sharad Yadav told that the entire country was facing danger hence Shri Advani took out the Yatra to save the country from this danger and dislodge the corrupt Congress Government. The objective of the Yatra has been achieved. Now we have to build a new country, a new India together. The contribution of the people is required in this struggle for building new India.

Addressing the rally, Shri Vijender Gupta told that the Congress Government is the Government of middlemen, touts and profiteers. Delhi Government had committed land bungling of 5000 crore rupees by allowing occupation of the Government land and the Centre is mum. If Kalmadi is in Jail on the charges of corruption then why Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit who is accused in various bungling is out of jail? Chief Minister committed scam of 25000 crore rupees in CWG. The CAG of India and Shunglu Committee have confirmed it. According to the report of CAG and Shunglu Committee, Smt. Sheila Diskhit should be prosecuted for misusing her position and committing corruption on large scale. But the Congress is completely silent on this issue.

The Lokayukta of Delhi Shri Manmohan Sareen has said that the Chief Minister of Delhi misled the poor people of Delhi for the sake of votes. At the time of Assembly Elections in July 2008 the Chief Minister made promises to the people in the public meetings in entire Delhi that 60,000 cheap houses will be allotted to the poor people. But the poor people have not been provided such houses. The Lokayukta complained to the President of India about it and her Highness the President of India cautioned the Chief Minister against it. Yet the Congress President Sonia Gandhi and Prime Minister Manmohan Singh have not taken any action against the Chief Minister of Delhi Smt. Sheila Dikshit. What is the reason one does not know? Why the person who should be in Jail is occupying the post of Chief Minister? Delhi Government is deliberately encouraging corruption and price rise. This Government could decrease taxes but it wants to make up the loss to the treasury due to the loot in CWG by the blood of the people. This is the reason why the circle rates have been increased twice within 8 months. Shri Gupta told that BJP will ensure that the guilty persons are punished if not today then later. The looters of Commonwealth Games will have to go to the Jail.

Manali is a hill station nestled in the mountains of the Indian state of Himachal Pradesh near the northern end of the Kullu Valley, at an altitude of 2,050 m in the Beas River Valley. It is located in the Kullu district, about 270 km north of the state capital, Shimla. The small town, with a population of 8,096, is the beginning of an ancient trade route to Ladakh and from there over the Karakoram Pass on to Yarkand and Khotan in the Tarim Basin. It is a popular tourist destination and serves as the roadway to other northern hill stations.

GEOGRAPHY

Manali is located at 32.2396 N, 77.1887 E, about 40 km north of Kullu town. The town ranges in elevation from 1,800 m to 2,000 m in the uppermost Old Manali section.

DEMOGRAPHICS

Manali is a small town; as of the 2011 census of India, its population was 8,096. In 2001, Manali had an official population of 6,265. Males constituted 64% of the population and females 36%. Manali had an average literacy rate of 74%, higher than the national average of 59.5%; male literacy was 80%, and female literacy was 63%. 9% of the population was under six years of age.

CLIMATE

The climate in Manali is predominantly cold during winters, and moderately cool during summers. The temperatures range from 4 °C to 20 °C over the year. The average temperature during summer is between 04 °C and 15 °C, and between −15 °C and 05 °C in the winter. Monthly precipitation varies between 31 mm in November to 217 mm in July.

HISTORY

Manali is named after the lawgiver Manu. The word Manali is regarded as the changed name of "Manu-Alaya" which literally means "the abode of Manu". Legend has it that sage Manu stepped off his ark in Manali to recreate human life after a great flood had deluged the world. Manali is also often referred to as the "Valley of the Gods". The Old Manali village has an ancient temple dedicated to sage Manu.

The British introduced apple trees and trout. The first apple orchard was set up by the British near Patlikuhl, which were earlier not native to Manali. It is said that when apple trees were first planted, the fruits were so plentiful that often branches, unable to bear the weight, would collapse. To this day, apple - along with plum and pear - remain the best source of income for the majority of inhabitants.

Tourism in Manali received a boost after the rise of militancy in Kashmir in the late 1980s. This once quiet village was transformed into a bustling town with many hotels and restaurants.
