Janeshwar Mishra Park to give city the thrills, adventure rides
Are you looking for some adrenaline rush? If so, and provided that you live in the city, then you do not have to look far and wide, as Janeshwar Mishra Park (JMP) in Gomti Nagar may soon become your perfect getaway. Lucknow Development Authority (LDA) has set the ball rolling for a 15-metre-high multi-activity tower for adventure sports near JMP's Gate 4. The facility, when in operation, is likely to offer activities such as zip-line, sky-cycling, wall climbing and bungee jumping. Also, rifle shooting, archery, roller-coaster ride, giant swing and bull ride may entice the thrill-seekers. LDA vice-chairman Prathamesh Kumar inspected the park on Wednesday and directed officials to complete the project within three months. Spread across 1.5 acres, the zone will also include two canteens and paved pathways to ensure easy access for visitors. The project aims to provide the townsfolk with more recreational options and attract tourists by turning the park into an adventure hub. Also, LDA will build a new pedestrian bridge over the water body, connecting the rose garden and the national flag area. During the inspection, Kumar noted that visitors currently face inconvenience due to the long detour. He asked for an attractive bridge design to be prepared by a consultant. Kumar also expressed dissatisfaction with poor cleanliness in the park. He reprimanded the officials concerned and summoned a report from the agency responsible. Meanwhile, to enhance the city's riverfront experience, LDA is developing a food court near Marine Drive along the Gomti Riverfront. Ten shops are being constructed under the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model. Kumar instructed that the work be completed within a month so that the food court can be opened to the public at the earliest. In addition to land-based activities, the city is also gearing up to offer water sports. LDA is conducting trial runs of jet skis, speed boats, and motor boats at the Laxman Mela site on the Gomti. During his inspection, the VC directed the agency concerned to prioritise public safety and ensure that basic facilities like a food kiosk, office/waiting area, and proper parking were made available before the launch of full operations.

"Zips Gone, Locks Missing": Furious IndiGo Passenger Posts About Damaged Bags, Airline Responds
A Deloitte senior analyst took to LinkedIn to express his frustration with IndiGo's alleged mishandling of his luggage and subpar customer service. In a scathing post on LinkedIn, Abhishek Kumar detailed his unpleasant experience on a recent flight from Delhi to Hyderabad, sharing photos of his damaged luggage. Upon arrival, he discovered his checked bag was severely damaged, with torn zippers, missing locks, and tampered contents. Mr Kumar also reported that several items were missing, and the bag weighed noticeably less than when he checked it in at Delhi's Indira Gandhi International Airport. "Your service quality is dropping faster than the economies of South Sudan and Burundi combined — and trust me, that's saying something. My recent flight from Delhi to Hyderabad was nothing short of a disaster. My luggage looked like it had survived a WWE match — zips gone, locks missing, contents clearly tampered with, and surprise surprise: items missing," Mr Kumar wrote on LinkedIn, along with photos of the damaged luggage. He also noted that his bag weighed over 14 kg at check-in at Delhi's IGI Airport, but by the time he received it in Hyderabad, it weighed barely 13 kg. Mr Kumar expressed his frustration with IndiGo's support team, stating that he had been pursuing them for a resolution with no response, likening it to dealing with an unresponsive party who owes him money, and described their service as pathetic. "I've been chasing your team for a resolution like it's a toxic ex who owes me money — and yet, radio silence. July is around the corner, so do let me know if I need to start a '16 Somvaar' fast to get even a decent response from you," he added. IndiGo responded to the viral complaint, asking him to share his contact details and PNR via direct message so they could better understand his experience and get in touch with him promptly. "Thank you for sharing your PNR and concern in detail, Mr Kumar. Please allow us some time while we look into it. We request your kind patience in the interim," IndiGo replied after his response. Earlier, a Goa-based woman, Vaishali Sharma, lodged a similar complaint with IndiGo after her checked baggage arrived damaged on a flight from Goa to Delhi. Despite repeated follow-ups, she claimed the airline barely responded.
