Singapore Hotel Imposes Rs 13,000 Fine On Tourist For Eating Durian In Room
Imagine booking a hotel room and paying a fine for bringing a fruit. That is what happened to a Chinese tourist in Singapore. The woman was stunned when she was allegedly fined 200 Singapore Dollars (around Rs 13,200) for bringing a durian into her hotel room in Singapore. The tourist shared her experience online to warn other travellers, according to reports. The woman was visiting Singapore with a friend when they bought durian from a roadside stall. Since there were no seats available to eat the fruit there, they decided to take it back to their hotel in a Styrofoam box. On the way back, the strong smell of the durian started to escape from the box. She wrapped it in cling wrap to try to contain the scent. "I did so as I was afraid the driver would be bothered by the smell," she wrote in her post. Back at the hotel, they ate the durian in the room without knowing it was not allowed. The trouble started when she returned to the room after a day of sightseeing. A note on the bed left her stunned. It said, "Please be informed that our Housekeeper found a Durian smell in your room... SGD200 will be imposed for a cleaning fee." "I can't believe my eyes. S$200 is about 1,000 RMB," she wrote. She later found out that other tourists had faced similar issues. Some were lucky to be stopped by hotel staff before entering with durians, while a few managed to avoid the fine after explaining. Trying to resolve the issue, she contacted the hotel front desk and admitted her mistake. "I confessed I was in the wrong and even asked if they could give me a little discount," she said. However, the hotel staff said the room needed deep cleaning and would be unavailable for a few days due to the smell. Her post ended with a word of advice: Never bring durian into a hotel room in Singapore. A report by AsiaOne says that different hotels in Singapore charge different fines for bringing durians into rooms. Carlton City Hotel imposes a $500 cleaning fee if a durian smell is detected, while Park Regis by Prince Singapore charges $300. At Park Avenue Rochester, guests face a $200 fine for bringing the fruit into their rooms.

After Priest's 20-Year Search, Sukhoi Tires To Be Used On Jagannath Chariot
Kolkata: Lord Jagannath's chariot will have a spring in its steps this summer when it rolls out on Kolkata streets for the Rath Yatra on June 27. After a 20-year search, the Rath Yatra's organiser, ISKCON Kolkata, has found new tires for the massive chariot. The old tires, sourced from a Boeing 747 jumbo jet, have been replaced by tires used on Sukhoi fighter planes and manufactured by MRF. Radharamn Das, vice president and spokesperson for ISCKON Kolkata, shared the fascinating story of finding the best fit for the Lord's chariot. The Rath Yatra in Kolkata started in 1972 with a small chariot housing the three deities taken out through the city's streets. Five years later, a member of ISCKON donated three new chariots for Lord Jagannath and his siblings, Lord Balabhadra and Goddess Subhadra. Lord Jagannath's chariot was fitted with second-hand tires from a Boeing Jet. Over the years, the tires suffered wear and tear and were repaired before every Rath Yatra. In 2005, however, Mr Das noticed they needed to be changed. This started his 20-year search for new tires for the Lord's chariot. A key challenge for arranging the tires was to assess the weight they would need to bear. "Finding a weighing scale for a massive chariot was a huge task. We eventually managed to weigh it and it came to about nine tonnes. Factoring in the weight of devotees on the chariot during the Yatra, we realised that the tires would need to support a weight of about 16 tonnes," he said. "We first spoke to Dunlop, but they had stopped manufacturing these tires. After extensive research, we found Sukhoi tires to be the best match. We first tried to contact MRF in 2018, but could not get through. Eventually, they got back six years later. In December 2024, they sent a team, we worked out a price and they delivered the tires a month back," Mr Das told NDTV. He shared how MRF authorities were surprised when ISKCON Kolkata first told them their requirement. "We were told that the only other client for these tires is the Indian Air Force," Mr Das quipped. MRF assured them that their tires have an adequate weight-bearing capacity. The four tires cost a total of Rs 1.80 lakh. After the tires were delivered and fitted, a 24-km dry run was organised, and all was found to be well.
