East-west electric railway

By
The Ministry of Forest and Soil Conservation has given the go-ahead to conduct a detailed project report (DPR) of the proposed Simara-Tamsariya railway line.
The DPR of the Chitwan section had been held up for the last eight months after the Department of Forest and Chitwan National Park (CNP) refused to let the study be done citing environmental concerns. Department officials said that they received permission to conduct the DPR last week after the proposed rail route was realigned to avoid core areas of the national park.
A 7-km stretch of the railroad passes through the centre of CNP, according to the Department of Railways. Located in south central Nepal, CNP is the home of the famed one-horned rhino and is a popular jungle safari destination. The Railways Department had hired a consortium of South Korean and local companies to conduct the DPR. 
The 114-km Simara-Tamsariya section forms part of the East-West Electric Railway mega project which has planned to build a railway line connecting Mechi in the east to Mahakali in the west. 
Rajeshwor Man Singh, officiating director general of the department, said that they would complete the DPR within three months. “Due to biodiversity issues, we changed the alignment avoiding the core areas of CNP as much as possible,” he added. 
According to the government’s target for the current fiscal year, it will start construction of the railway project and complete the DPR of the Simara-Tamsariya and 
Tamsariya-Butwal sections. However, Singh said that it would be difficult to meet the target due to the delayed DPR and release of funds for payment of compensation to speed up work on laying the track bed on the 108-km Bardibas-Simara section. 
The department plans to start construction of 5 km of track bed on the Simara-Bardibas section. This section’s DPR was completed last year. 
Meanwhile, a high-level official at the Ministry of Physical Infrastructure and Transport Management said that they had been receiving pressure from some Constituent Assembly members to change the alignment of the Tamsariya-Butwal section of the East-West Railway. 
The official said that they had been asked to reroute the railway further south as the proposed alignment passes through land plotting areas.

A 17 year old Russian girl has a doll-like face but physique of a body builder. She is a powerlifter. Yulia Viktorovna Vins, or Julia Vins, as she is known in the online bodybuilding and powerlifting communities, is a 17-year old Russian powerlifter who recently shot to Internet fame after a series of photos showing her doll-like face and impressive physique went viral. Russia and countries of the former USSR have their share of  doll-faced beauties  – with  Valeria Lukyanova , Anastasia Shpagina  and Anzhelika Kenova being the most famous – but none of them have the impressive body of Yulia Vins. The young athlete from Engels, Russia, might have the face of a fragile porcelain doll, but her massive arm and leg muscles are enough to put most men to shame. In a recent interview with a fellow bodybuilding enthusiast, Yulia said she started working out to become stronger and build self-confidence, but had no intention of becoming a professional powerlifter.
