In India, the entry-level commuter motorcycle segment accounts for approximately 30 percent of total two-wheeler sales. The Bengaluru-based company, Oben Electric, has introduced the O100 platform, which aims to provide affordable electric motorcycles tailored for daily commuters.

The new O100 platform will support Oben's second electric motorcycle. The O100 is a modular platform developed entirely in-house by Oben Electric. It is designed to support various electric motorcycle models with different battery capacities, all priced under Rs 1 lakh. Oben holds over 25 patents related to these technologies.

40 illegal structures at Sarkhej's Bader Lake to be razed from July 18

Ahmedabad: The Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) has ordered the demolition of 40 illegal commercial units at Sarkhej's Bader Lake, with action beginning Thursday. This move clears the way for the lake's long-stalled development. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now For three years, illegal constructions on the lake's land prevented the AMC from proceeding with its Rs 8-10 crore development plan. Legal committee chairman Prakash Gurjar said, "There were 40 illegal commercial constructions on the lake, and 24 petitions were filed in the Gujarat high court. The court dismissed it all, and we issued a letter ordering the demolition of these illegal 40 commercial constructions starting Thursday. " The AMC's legal department presented detailed reports, including measurements of the lake's land and roads from DILAR, proving the encroachments were indeed on lake land. Following the HC's dismissal of the petitions, the estate department received instructions to commence demolition from Thursday. The AMC has also proactively ordered the filing of a caveat in the HC. With these illegal structures removed, the Bader Lake development project can now finally proceed. MSID:: 122581667 413 |

Govt, UNDP ink pact to develop multi-level disaster management system

A MEMORANDUM of Association (MoA) was signed between the Relief Commissioner's Office of Uttar Pradesh and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in the presence of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Wednesday. The agreement aims at implementing disaster risk reduction programmes, strengthening the state's institutional capacity and developing a multi-level disaster management system based on a technical approach, a statement said. Angela Lusigi, UNDP India Head and Resident Representative, was present during the signing ceremony. She also met the Chief Minister and assured that UNDP would provide all possible technical support to the state, a statement said. The purpose of this agreement is to implement a wide range of disaster risk reduction programs at different levels in the state, making the disaster management system more inclusive, accountable, and effective. Under this, various initiatives will be carried out, such as the development of disaster management plans at the district and departmental levels, risk assessment, strengthening of information systems, training, resource capacity building, establishment of early warning systems, and project management, the statement said. Key highlights of the agreement include the development of district disaster management plans for all 75 districts of Uttar Pradesh and departmental disaster management plans for 15 key state departments. Also, detailed project reports will be prepared for 10 state departments, and risk and vulnerability assessments will be conducted in 20 major cities, keeping potential disasters in mind. Urban disaster management plans will also be developed for these cities. On the technical front, the state's disaster information system will be strengthened and integrated. This will involve training workshops, assessment studies, provision of necessary ICT tools, and the establishment of a Project Management Unit (PMU) at the Relief Commissioner's Office to ensure all activities are well-coordinated and effective. For the implementation of this program, the Uttar Pradesh government has approved a total budget of Rs 19.99 crore over the next three years. The funds will be spent in a phased manner, and implementation will follow the technical proposals submitted by UNDP. The state government is advancing this program in line with the recommendations of the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA), which has authorized UNDP to provide technical assistance in this field. CM Adityanath expressed confidence that this partnership with UNDP will help build world-class disaster management capabilities in Uttar Pradesh, the statement said.
