DELHI METRO

9 must known facts about the Delhi Metro(6th one! ) :



1.No Dustbins


The DMRC stations and platforms look spick and span despite the fact thatthere are no dustbins anywhere (apart from the restaurants). This is somethingModi Ji would be very proud of!

2. Neutral Zones


You call them power cuts, DMRC calls them power shifts! The momentary power lapses where lights and AC go off at certain stations are actually 'power shifts'. These designated sub-stations a.k.a. neutral zones supply power to the metro since it can not get the required 25000 volts from a single station.

3. Even number of coaches


Ever seen a metro with 5 or 7 coaches? No chance of that happening. This is because DMRC rails have 2 types of coaches, namely the 'driver car' and the 'motor car'. They serve as one unit and cannot be used separately. Hence, Delhi metros have either 6 or 8 coaches. Always!

4. Journey ke saath bhi, journey ke baad bhi


DMRC takes care of your journey even after you deboard the train. A lot of metro stations provide bicycles on rent for as meagre as Rs 10 for 4 hours. Just don't forget to carry a valid ID proof!

5. DMRC Smart Card


Largely unknown, DMRC and ICICI bank got together to launch a DMRC debit card which has an auto recharge facility and gives 10 % discount on metro fare and shops at metro stations. Oh, did we mention cash back offers and reward points? Happy travelling!

6. Sari Guard feature of escalators


Delhi metro commuters are always in a hurry and DMRC realises that. Apart from the emergency stop button, the DMRC escalators also have a sari guardfeature that deflects  loose clothing from getting trapped.

7. Assistance for visually impaired


Apart from scrubbing your shoes clean on them, these broad yellow strips running on the Delhi Metro platforms serve a better purpose. These yellow tactile strips are the pathways for the visually impaired commuters, leading them directly to the lifts and to the exits.

8. Wheelchair friendly


All stations have ramps built right at the entrance to help wheelchair-bound people to roll themselves around the station. This again shows how methodologically the Delhi Metro stations have been built.

SQL Server Database is enabled for Database Mirroring, but the database lacks quorum, and cannot be opened – Error 955 In a SQL Server mirroring configuration that is running synchronously (High-Safety Mode), with the witness to allow automatic failover, here is what happens if one of the partners or the witness becomes unavailable: - If the principal server becomes unavailable and databases are synchronized, automatic failover occurs, and the mirror server switches to the role of principal. - If the mirror server becomes unavailable, the principal and witness continue. - If the witness server becomes unavailable, both partners must be available for the mirroring to continue.
