Kelana Jaya LRT Services Resume After Man Falls Onto Tracks At Subang Alam Station
Subscribe to our FREE Rail services on the Kelana Jaya LRT line resumed at 10:22 a.m. today (4 July) after a temporary disruption caused by a passenger who fell onto the tracks earlier in the morning. The incident occurred at 8.02 am at Subang Alam LRT station when a passenger entered the track area as a train was approaching the platform, according to Rapid Rail Sdn Bhd. Based on preliminary information, the individual is suspected to have attempted self-harm by jumping into the track area. Emergency response teams comprising personnel from the Malaysian Fire and Rescue Department (BOMBA) and the Royal Malaysian Police (PDRM) were deployed to the scene immediately after receiving reports from Rapid Rail operations. The passenger was successfully rescued but sustained serious injuries and was taken to Tengku Ampuan Rahimah Hospital in Klang for further treatment. 'Police are conducting a detailed investigation into the incident, and Rapid Rail will provide its full cooperation to assist in the investigation,' the rail operator said. The company also apologised for any inconvenience caused to passengers during the service disruption and thanked the public for their patience and cooperation. Latest in A Series of Track Incidents This marks the latest in a series of similar incidents on Malaysia's rail network this year. In February, a blind man fell onto the tracks at Titiwangsa LRT station and was struck by a train, resulting in his death. Last month, a Taiwanese man in his 60s fell onto the tracks at Pusat Bandar Puchong LRT station and was run over by a train. Rail services were suspended for approximately two hours and 20 minutes before normal operations resumed. The Ministry of Transport has mandated the Platform screen doors will act as physical barriers between passengers and the train tracks, significantly reducing the risk of accidents at LRT stations.

Ghaziabad, once known for crime, is now a model of good governance: Yogi
Ghaziabad, Jun 26 (UNI) Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Thursday said that the state has undergone a remarkable transformation over the last eight years, and Ghaziabad is a shining example of this change. 'The perception of the city has changed. Ghaziabad, which was once known for crime and gang-wars, is now emerging as a model of development, cleanliness, and good governance,' he said. The CM was speaking to media persons here today. He said, 'Ghaziabad is now counted among the top 50 cleanest cities in the world and is the most clean city in the state. Ten years ago, no one could have imagined that this district would be connected to a 12-lane greenfield expressway or that the country's first Rapid Rail would pass through it. But today, all of this has become a reality. Ghaziabad now has Rapid Rail, a 12-lane highway, metro connectivity, and an airport as well.' Before speaking to media, CM Yogi handed over travel kits to a group going on the Kailash Mansarovar pilgrimage. He warmly welcomed the pilgrims and wished them a safe and pleasant journey. He said, 'I pray to Lord Mahadev to bless all of you.' He also announced that each pilgrim returning from the Kailash Mansarovar trip will receive Rs 1 lakh in financial assistance from the Uttar Pradesh government. He further said that the Kailash Mansarovar Bhawan was established by the state government for the convenience of pilgrims, and today over 200 devotees have gathered there to begin their journey. Earlier in the morning, the Chief Minister attended the golden jubilee celebrations of Central Electronics Limited (CEL) in Ghaziabad. Together with Union Minister Dr. Jitendra Singh, he laid the foundation stone for a Greenfield Data Center. The CM said that CEL, which was once a loss-making company, has now survived disinvestment and emerged as a profit-making 'Mini Ratna' public sector enterprise. The Chief Minister also spoke about Ghaziabad entering a new phase of development as 'Greater Ghaziabad.' Appreciating the good work done by all institutions, he said that new initiatives will soon be taken under the Greater Ghaziabad plan. Khoda, Loni, and Muradnagar will be brought under the Ghaziabad Municipal Corporation to enable more comprehensive growth. He also discussed the plan for an integrated office complex to bring all district offices under one roof and to improve safety and law and order through the Police Commissionerate's headquarters. The Chief Minister also reviewed progress on development and infrastructure projects like the Baba Dudheshwarnath Temple corridor. Regarding the stadium land that the BCCI had acquired long ago but never developed, he instructed the Ghaziabad Development Authority to use that land to construct a stadium and manage it properly. The Chief Minister said that citizens can now begin using the Mansarovar Bhawan, Uttarakhand Bhawan, or Purvanchal Bhawan. Instructions have been given to the Ghaziabad Development Authority (GDA) and the Municipal Corporation to prepare a model for this so that it can be properly developed further. He also noted that steps taken in recent years have increased the green cover in Ghaziabad, making it a more beautiful city. Garbage heaps have been removed, and new models like Miyawaki forests and city forests can now be seen. The Chief Minister added that there were also meaningful discussions on the revival of the Hindon River — which was once an identity of Ghaziabad — using natural methods, as well as large-scale tree plantations on both sides of the river under the 'Ek Ped Ma Ke Naam' campaign. Issues like development and employment were also discussed. 'The double-engine government will continue this journey of development, and the administration will implement the suggestions and initiatives given by public representatives,' he said. UNI MBD RKM
