TITLE: Keeping Delhi Green and Moving: The Delhi Metro System
AIRDATE: Friday, August 7, 2009
Welcome, compassionate viewers, we are delighted to have you with us for another exciting episode of Golden Age Technology, here on Supreme Master Television. Today we have the pleasure of taking you to the city of Delhi in the spiritual land of India. Metropolitan Delhi encompasses New Delhi, the nation's capital. The city's Metro service is setting global standards in eco-conscious urban transportation. Since the inception of service in 2002, it has quickly gained popularity with the city's 16 million residents.
The Metro has 68 kilometers of track currently in operation, with 65 stations in total, but the system is due to be extended 122 kilometers further, with another 70 stations added after the completion of Phase II of the construction project in 2010. Currently, approximately 800,000 Delhites rely on the service every day, with this number being projected to increase to 2 million passengers each day on completion of the Phase II expansion.
By reducing vehicular traffic, the Metro has helped avoid the release of an estimated 28,800 tons of carbon dioxide into Delhi's air annually. Supreme Master Television recently spoke with Mr. Anuj Dayal, the Chief Public Relations Officer at the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) about the system and the Corporation's pioneering green initiatives that have earned numerous international environmental certifications for the Metro system.
Let's us now join our interview with Mr. Dayal and learn more about the environmentally-friendly Delhi Metro. Can you please share with us the benefits of the Delhi Metro System, and how it benefits the community and its people? Actually not only Delhi, I would say any metro system, there are more than 135 metros all over the world, the benefit of the metro is basically the social and economic benefit which the city gets. There is a huge time-savings, and there is a huge environmental-savings because of the pollution which it saves because of less vehicles being put on the roads.
Then apart from that in Delhi many people lose their lives here, because of road accidents. It's a very accident- prone city. So traveling on the Metro, it is a very safe system. The social and economic benefits of a project like the Delhi Metro are immense. The system is world-class, with many self-automating features. Delhi Metro is a very modern metro system.
It has both underground and elevated lines, and we have an automatic Train Control System. We can run the Metro even without drivers. It has fully automatic fare collection systems, and it's very popular among the public of Delhi. In February 2009, the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation received the United Nations Green Certificate, a first in the world for a rail network. This honor was given for avoiding the release of 90,000 tons of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere between 2004 and 2007 through use of an energy-saving technology on the rail cars. Approximately 112,500 megawatt hours of power generation was also conserved by using this innovation.
It's the first railway network which received the United Nations Green Certificate for its green initiatives. Could you please share with us about this? Yes, that's right, we were recognized by the United Nations and we have got carbon credits. We got the carbon credits for something called regenerating braking. You see, when our trains apply their brakes, about 33 percent of the energy goes back into the system; the energy is not wasted.
Thirty-three percent is recycled again back to the trains and it is reused. So this has been converted through the carbon credit mechanism into money. And we've registered ourselves with the United Nations and we have been credited accordingly. So this is the first railway system which has got this credit. Are there any other green initiatives that you have implemented around the Metro stations? Yes, you see for example when we were constructing the Metro, we had to cut some trees. So we have given a commitment for every one tree that we cut, we will plant 11 trees. So we have planted 11 times the number that we have cut.
And one of trees is planted in exactly the same location from where it was cut, and the remaining 10 trees are planted wherever we get land. Apart from that, we have a number of other environmental- friendly measures. For example, the noise generation, we have measured the noise before the Metro came, during the construction and after and we find that Delhi Metro has helped in reducing noise pollution also to a large extent in the city. Then we are very careful about many environmental issues. All the Metro trucks which are involved in the construction, the tires have to be very properly washed before they leave our work sites so that we don't dirty the city roads. So we are very conscious about all the environmental requirements.
The social and economic benefits of this project are so huge, the entire cost, whatever cost has gone into the construction, the Delhi Metro Railway Corporation had already almost recovered the entire cost, because of the social and economic benefits which have gone to the city. We』ll be right back with more from our interview with Mr. Anuj Dayal from the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation. Please stay tuned to Supreme Master Television. The passengers are very happy, because they are saving a lot of time.
They are saving almost 60 minutes every day, which is 60 minutes of your life I am giving back to you, which otherwise you』ll spend in traveling, Welcome back to Golden Age Technology. Today we are discussing the green accomplishments and achievements of the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation with Mr. Anuj Dayal, Chief Public Relations Officer of the organization.
The metro system constructed by the Corporation is located in India's populous city of Delhi which also encompasses New Delhi, the nation's capital. The Delhi Metro is one of the most environmentally sustainable public transportation systems in the world. The Corporation takes great care in the protection of the environment, the health and safety of its workers and the maintenance of all its stations and structures.
Helping to retain the natural beauty of the city is also of high priority for the Corporation. We asked Mr. Dayal about the popularity of the system. (It is) very popular, (with a) very huge demand, because before the Delhi Metro came, the city was totally dependent upon road transport. That was the only means available, and (with) 16 million people moving by road, the city roads become very congested. So with the Metro coming we have taken a lot of the pressure off of the city roads, and gradually it has become the main artery for carrying the public within the city. As with the current Phase - II addition to the system, great care was taken to be green with the initial construction of the Metro.
We tried to minimize the requirement for trees that had to be cut. We made our alignment in such a way that initially itself a number of trees were getting cut so we reduced that requirement quite a lot by doing reengineering. We've controlled the noise, we have controlled the vibrations, we look after the ecosystem around our construction sites, we make sure that there is no wastage, and there is no spillage on to city roads. So we do a complete detailed environmental impact assessment. Before we started the project, we got environmental clearance, and only after environmental clearance and constant environmental monitoring this project has been implemented.
Could you please elaborate more on the impact assessment and how it is conducted? This is done by an independent body outside and the government of India has a mechanism where this environmental report is studied in detail. Only after this environmental impact assessment has been cleared by the government of India can the project go ahead.
The Delhi Metro was the first metro in the world to be awarded the globally recognized Internationally Organization for Standardization or ISO 14001 certificate for its relatively low level of impact on the environment during its construction. We have got a number of certifications from international bodies. One was the United Nation's carbon credit which you have asked me about. Apart from that, we were the first metro to get ISO 14001 during the construction phase, and we got ISO 14001 for environmental protection. Then we got a further advancement of that certificate; it's called OHSAS 18001 this is given by R- I- N- A, RINA. It's an Italy- based certification. We've got it again for environmental consciousness, not only helping in preserving the environment during the construction, also in the operation, because of the type of environment that we have generated within the Metro is very conducive to health.
So it's helping your health and safety also, the type of air that you are breathing in the Metro is of very good quality. So all these have helped us in getting these certifications also. We expect to expand further also. Mr. Dayal gives us insight into the Metro's future plans in term of expansion. We are looking at the master Metro network of 415 kilometers to be completed by the year 2021.
So with 414 kilometers, Delhi would have a very extensive metro network. It would help reduce pollution very heavily in the city and it would help save lives. So overall I think this project would be excellent for the city. It is inspiring to hear of the wonderful service the Delhi Metro is providing the city while at the same time helping to create a cleaner and more healthful environment for residents.
We would like to convey our appreciation to Mr. Anuj Dayal for providing us with many details on this splendid Earth-friendly mass transit system. We eagerly await more such noble and green-minded projects being implemented in cities all throughout the world. Thank you kind viewers for joining us today on Golden Age Technology.
標題：保持新德里綠色移動：德里地鐵系統
的airdate：週五8月7日，2009年觀眾歡迎，富有同情心，我們很高興有您與我們的黃金時代技術的另一個令人興奮的情節，“無上師電視台”。
今天，我們很高興帶你到德里市的印度土地的精神。大都會包括新德里，新德里的國家的首都。這個城市的地鐵服務全球標準的環保意識的城市交通。在成立以來的服務在2002年以來，它已迅速獲得普及與城市的1600萬居民。地鐵站距離酒店有68公里的軌道目前在運行，65台總，但系統到可擴展122公里進一步，與另增加70站後在2010年完成二期工程建設項目。目前約80萬Delhites，依賴服務的每一天，這個數字預計將增加至200萬人次，每天完成二期擴建，減少車輛交通，地鐵幫助避免估計28800噸，釋放到新德里的空氣每年的二氧化碳。
無上師電視台最近談到與先生anuj發表的達亞爾，的首席公共關係官員在新德里地鐵軌道公司（DMRC）有關的系統和該公司的開拓綠色舉措，已贏得了眾多國際環保認證的地鐵系統。我們是我們現在加入先生達亞爾我們的採訪和了解更多的環境友好型的德里地鐵。可以請你分享我們的德里地鐵系統的好處，以及它是如何造福社會和人民嗎？其實不僅是新德里，我會說地鐵系統，世界各地有超過135個地鐵，地鐵的好處是城市得到基本的社會和經濟效益。有一個巨大的節省時間，有一個巨大的環保，節約，因為它保存的污染，因為車輛把道路上的，那麼除了在新德里的許多人失去了他們的生活在這裡，因為道路交通事故。這是一個非常事故多發的城市。因此，乘坐地鐵，這是一個非常安全的系統。的項目，如德里地鐵的社會和經濟效益是巨大的。該系統是世界一流的，與許多自自動化功能。德里地鐵是一個非常現代的地鐵系統。
有地下和高架線路，我們有一個自動列車控制系統。即使沒有驅動程序，我們可以運行的地鐵。它具有完全自動售檢票系統，它是非常受歡迎的公眾的新德里。2009年2月，新德里地鐵軌道公司獲得聯合國綠色證書，第一個在世界上的鐵路網絡。這一榮譽是90,000噸的二氧化碳釋放到大氣中2004年至2007年，通過使用節能技術，以避免在導軌上車。約112,500兆瓦時發電，利用這種創新也是保守的，這是第一條鐵路網絡，它的綠色行動獲得聯合國綠色證書。能否請您與我們分享這？是的，這是正確的，我們確認由聯合國，我們已經獲得碳信用額。我們得到的東西稱為再生制動的碳信用額度。你看，當我們的火車適用於他們的剎車，約33％的能量進入到系統中，能源不被浪費，33％被回收再回來的列車，它被重用。因此，這已被轉換到錢通過碳信用機制。我們已經註冊了自己的聯合國，我們已記入相應。因此，這是第一個有信用的鐵路系統。是否有任何其他已實施的環保措施，地鐵站周圍的嗎？是的，你看，例如，當我們正在籌建地鐵，我們不得不砍掉一些樹木。
因此，我們每一個樹，我們削減的承諾，我們會種植11棵樹。因此，我們已經種植了11倍，我們已經削減。的樹木種植在完全相同的位置，從那裡被切斷，而剩下的10棵樹被種植的地方，我們獲得土地。此外，我們有一些其他的環保措施。例如，噪音的產生，我們測得的噪音之前，地鐵來了，在施工期間和之後，我們發現，德里地鐵已幫助減少噪音污染的城市在很大程度上也。然後，我們都非常小心，許多環境問題。所有參與建設的地鐵車，輪胎是非常正確的洗，才離開我們的工作場所，因此，我們不臟的城市道路。因此，我們非常關注的環保要求，該項目是如此巨大的社會和經濟效益，全部費用，無論代價多麼大的建設已經進入德里地鐵鐵路公司已經恢復的差不多了的全部費用，因為已經到城市的社會和經濟效益。我們會馬上回來anuj發表的達亞爾先生從德里地鐵公司從我們的採訪。請繼續收看“無上師電視台”。乘客很高興，因為他們節省了大量的時間。他們節省近60分鐘，每一天，這是60分鐘，我給你的生活回到你身邊，否則你會花費在旅遊，歡迎回來黃金時代技術。
我們今天討論的綠色anuj發表的達亞爾先生，首席公共關係主任的組織的成就和成果的德里地鐵公司，由該公司興建的地鐵系統設在印度的德里人口眾多的城市，也包括新德里，國家的首都。德里地鐵是世界上最環保的可持續發展的公共交通系統之一。該公司非常注重保護環境，健康和安全的工人，維護其所有車站和結構。幫助保留了天然美麗的城市，也是高優先級的公司。我們先生問達亞爾系統的普及。（它是）非常受歡迎的，（用）的需求非常巨大，因為在此之前的德里地鐵來了，城市是完全依賴於公路運輸。
這是唯一的手段，和16萬人（含）移動通過公路，城市道路變得非常擁擠。因此，地鐵的到來，我們已經採取了很多的壓力，城市道路，並逐漸成為主要的動脈在全市範圍內進行公眾。目前的階段- II除了系統，精雕細琢的初始建設的地鐵是綠色的。我們試圖減少對金屬進行切割樹木的要求。我們以這樣一種方式，最初本身就是一個樹木都砍，所以我們減少了不少，要求做再造對齊。我們已經控制了噪音，我們已經控制了振動，我們期待後，我們要確保我們的工地周圍的生態系統，有沒有浪費，城市道路上是沒有溢出。所以我們做了一個完整的詳細的環境影響評估。在我們開始這個項目之前，我們得到了環保關，該項目已實施後的環境清理和恆定的環境監測。能否請你詳細的影響評估，以及它是如何進行的呢？這是由一個獨立的機構外，印度政府有一個機制，在這種環境報告是在詳細研究。
印度政府只有在此環境影響評估已被清除，該項目可以繼續。德里地鐵的第一條地鐵在世界上被授予全球認可的國際標準化組織ISO 14001證書，其相對較低的水平在施工期間對環境的影響。我們已經得到了許多國際機構的認證。一個是聯合國的碳信用額，你問我。此外，我們獲得ISO 14001的第一條地鐵在施工階段，我們得到了ISO 14001環保。然後，我們得到了進一步提高該證書，它被稱為OHSAS 18001這是由R-I-N-A，RINA。這是一個意大利的認證。我們有環保意識，不僅幫助在施工過程中保護環境，在操作中，因為地鐵內產生的環境類型，我們已經是非常有利於健康。因此，它可以讓你的健康和安全，呼吸的空氣，你是在地鐵的類型，質量非常好。因此，所有這些都有助於我們也獲得這些認證。我們預期也進一步擴大。達亞爾為我們提供了深入了解地鐵的未來計劃，在長期的擴張。我們期待在主站的地鐵網絡415公里，到2021年完成，因此，414公里，，新德里將有一個非常廣泛的城域網絡。這將有助於減少污染非常嚴重的城市，這將有助於挽救生命。
所以，總體來說，我認為這個項目將是很好的城市。這是鼓舞人心的，聽到的美妙的德里地鐵的城市，而同時幫助創建一個更清潔，更健康的環境，為居民提供服務。我們想傳達anuj發表的達亞爾先生，我們感謝為我們提供了許多這片神奇的地球友好的集體運輸系統的詳細信息。我們熱切期待著更多這樣的高貴和綠色態度正在實施的項目在世界各地的所有城市。感謝您參加我們今天的黃金時代技術的一種觀眾。 |
