Indian Railways passengers can now check train status on WhatsApp, here's how

In a bid to enhance its services, the Indian Railways has partnered with MakeMyTrip to provide live status updates of trains through WhatsApp, which is currently the most popular instant messaging platform. Passengers can get updates regarding train timings, booking status, cancellation, platform number on which the train will arrive, by sending a request through WhatsApp. This will alleviate people's dependence to call on 139 to get train status. This is one of the many initiatives undertaken by the Indian Railways to improve customers travel experience.

In order to avail this facility, passengers are required to save the number 7349389104 (via MakeMyTrip) on their mobile phones. When an update is required, they will have to send a specific train number on the afore-mentioned number through WhatsApp, and details of the respective train will be provided to them. If the server is not busy, one can expect to get a response within 10 seconds of making the request. However, passengers should be mindful that their train number won't reach the server until they see two blue ticks on the WhatsApp text, which indicates that the message was delivered successfully.

In the recent past, the Railways had revamped its official website to make its services more easily accessible. The changes include:

a) An easy-to-use web interface.

b) Train search without logging-in to the website.

c) Details about train availability, departure, and arrival available on the homepage itself.

d) Option to change font-size of the website for a comfortable viewing experience.

e) Waitlist prediction feature through which users can ascertain the probability of a waitlisted or an RAC (Reservation Against Cancellation) ticket to get confirmed.  

f) Technological advancements in the new User Interface (UI) which facilitates seamless navigation through the website on mobile, desktop, laptop, and tablet.

Additionally, Piyush Goyal, Railways Minister, rolled out a new facility to enhance the onboard catering service offered by the Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC). Now, trains that have pantries will have an IRCTC manager to address food-related complaints. The manager would attend to the complaints even when the train is on its course. For this, a dedicated berth or seat has been reserved for the IRCTC manager. The manager would report to the 'Train Captain' at the railway station from where the train originates. He will carry an authority-letter and a valid ID proof.

Further, the Railways re-hauled the schedule of around 200 trains to address the problems of train delays, which is an irksome experience for most passengers. While the year 2015-2016 recorded 77.4 per cent punctuality of trains, the subsequent years have seen a drop in that figure with 76.69 per cent in 2016-17, and 71.39 per cent in 2017-18.

Syrian girl who used tuna cans for legs receives prosthetic limbs

An eight-year-old Syrian girl whose plight prompted global outpourings of sympathy after she was photographed walking on tuna cans has received prosthetic limbs in Turkey.

Maya Merhi, who was born with no legs because of a rare congenital condition, had been living with her father in a refugee camp after fighting forced them from their home in Aleppo province.

After fleeing to the northwestern region of Idlib, Maya was photographed struggling to move on homemade prosthetics made from tubes and tuna cans.

Designed by her father Mohammad, who suffers from the same congenital disorder, the improvised legs were created to protect her from the hot, dirty and dusty ground.

With the impromptu prosthetics, Maya was able to walk outside of her tent and could even attend the camp's school.

But after pictures of her plight were seen around the world, the Turkish Red Crescent intervened and the father and daughter were evacuated and brought to Istanbul for treatment.

"She is smiling, in good health and learning to walk," Dr Mehmet Zeki Culcu, a prosthetics specialist who provided the life-changing treatment for free, told Al Jazeera.

Culcu said it could take up to three months for her to gain full mobility and function, but she "will walk".

He said that the homemade limbs her father constructed provided a huge benefit because they got her used to walking, rather than crawling as she was previously accustomed to doing.

"Without any help, her father turned their suffering to hope and God helped them," Culcu added.

Since the war started in Syria, it has become increasingly difficult for victims to access life-saving treatment.

Government hospitals are often inaccessible, while medical facilities in opposition-controlled areas are regularly targeted by air raids.

The exact death toll is unknown, but an estimated 465,000 Syrians are reported to have died with over a million injured in the more than seven years of war. 

More than half of the country's prewar population - some 12 million people - have fled or been internally displaced, with Turkey taking in more than 3.5 million refugees.
