Why is Intercity railway in Maharashtra so shit?

For context a Vande Bharat between Pune and Nagpur takes about 12 hours, and Pune doesn't even lie in the extreme west side of Maharashtra. Even the upcoming Pune-Nashik SHSR line was later scrapped and changed to normal railway line, which was due to GMRT. But how does making 200 km/h between an upcoming Dholera city and Ahmedabad make sense? Both cities are barely 100 km apart and the train won't even have sufficient distance to accelerate that much.

I even attached a map of railway density in India, which fairly represents the railway density along highly populated states, but why doesn't Maharashtra have any vision when it comes to Railways?

Inactive Mod System Makes Little Sense for Small, Low-Maintenance Communities

I'm a moderator of r/IndiGo6E. The subreddit is relatively small and low-traffic, averaging roughly 2 posts per week. 6 months back I added a few new moderators, and today I discovered that I had been marked as an "inactive" moderator.

My issue is with how Reddit determines inactivity and applies restrictions.

For a community with very little moderation workload, what exactly constitutes being "active"? There are weeks where there is simply nothing that requires moderator intervention. The subreddit is functioning normally, rules are being followed, and there is very little content to review.

I had also made updates to subreddit assets such as images and appearance settings, yet apparently that did not count towards activity. If maintenance and community setup work do not count, then the system seems heavily biased towards communities that generate frequent moderation actions.

The rationale behind Inactive Mod Protections makes sense for large communities where inactive moderators returning after long absences could disrupt an active team. However, applying the same standards to small, low-maintenance communities seems questionable. In some cases, there simply isn't enough moderation work available to continuously demonstrate activity.

What makes even less sense is the consequence. Because I was marked inactive, I had to be re-added to the mod team. As a result, I have effectively been reset to the bottom of the moderator list despite being one of the senior moderators of the subreddit. I'm now the newest moderator on paper and below moderators who joined long after I did.

How does that make sense? If a moderator has contributed to building and maintaining a community for years, why should a period of inactivity in a low-traffic subreddit erase their seniority and position in the hierarchy?

I'm curious how other moderators of smaller subreddits deal with this. Have you also been marked inactive despite still maintaining and overseeing your communities? Do you think Reddit's current activity criteria fairly account for low-volume subreddits, or is the system disproportionately punishing moderators of smaller communities?

Indian Railways' first high-speed test track nears completion: Trains to be tested at 220 kmph from 2027-28

Indian Railways is building its first dedicated high-speed test track between Gudha and Thathana Mithri in Rajasthan's Jodhpur Division. The project is being developed by the Research Designs and Standards Organisation (RDSO) at a cost of about ₹967 crore and is expected to be fully operational for testing by 2027–28. and a 13 km high-speed loop for various trials. Tracks and bridges

  • Signalling systems
  • Traction and electrical equipment , but India lacks a dedicated facility for sustained testing at higher speeds. 220 km/h trainsets already approved by the Railways. of upgraded Vande Bharat designs.
  • Testing before trains are deployed on future semi-high-speed corridors. freight services must be disrupted. A dedicated test facility allows year-round testing without affecting regular operations. and infrastructure domestically instead of depending on foreign facilities. near ready for such speeds.

Here's what it's like to interchange at India's 2nd deepest metro station located at a staggering depth of 33 meters!

This is none other than District court station of Pune Metro, which also happens to be an interchange for Aqua and Purple Line, and in future Pink Line.

Metro coaches covered in dust. Stations still incomplete. Deadlines missed again. If Mumbai Metro 4 & 4A weren’t ready, why the rush for inauguration and announcements?

And here I was thinking that Pune Metro Line 3 was the most neglected metro project in Maharashtra. Seriously, this culture of tying infrastructure projects to elections needs to stop.

The viaduct for Pune Metro Line 3 has been completed for months, yet the finishing work is dragging on endlessly. There are very few workers on site, and progress appears painfully slow. This is simply unacceptable.

It is genuinely disappointing to see metro trainsets worth crores of rupees sitting idle and gathering dust. Given Mumbai's humid climate, it may not be long before issues such as corrosion and deterioration begin to appear if they remain unused for extended periods.

Can't they at least be kept inside of carsheds?
