Nand Nagri flyover's opening to coincide with PM's birthday
PWD minister Parvesh Verma said all efforts were being made to complete the project on time. "The department aims to inaugurate the flyover around Sept 16–17, aligning with Prime Minister Narendra Modi's birthday," he said.
Once the flyover is operational, Nand Nagri and Gagan Cinema junctions will become signal-free, easing congestion in the area and improving connectivity across northeast Delhi.

Verma conducted an inspection of the Nand Nagri T-junction flyover on Monday, which forms a critical segment of the larger plan to make the Wazirabad Road (Mangal Pandey Marg) completely signal-free from Signature Bridge to the Ghaziabad border.
He was accompanied by North East Delhi MP Manoj Tiwari and deputy speaker Mohan Singh Bisht.
The flyover, in one of Delhi's busiest corridors, is in the final stage of construction. The 6–7km stretch of Wazirabad Road has long seen multiple traffic cuts and uncontrolled junctions. To resolve this, Delhi govt undertook a two-part flyover project — a 1.3 km double-decker flyover by Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) and another 1.4km single-pillar flyover, including the Nand Nagri T-Junction, executed by PWD Delhi.

Once complete, the corridor will be signal-free, ensuring seamless vehicular movement between Delhi and Uttar Pradesh and reducing travel time for thousands of daily commuters. The project faced delays due to pending clearance to cut 27 trees, primarily around a 240-meter ramp near Mandoli Jail. "With environmental permissions now granted, the final phase has resumed," said a senior official.
The 1.5-km flyover will have six lanes, and six U-turns. The first will be constructed near Nand Nagari police station, followed by two back-to-back U-turns, which will be 500 metres ahead of the turn near the police station. Another set of back-to-back U-turns have been proposed near the Gagan Cinema bus stop, and another after the Gagan Cinema junction.

World recognises 2 infinite powers of India — demography and democracy: PM
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday said India's two strengths are its demography and democracy, with the country being the most populous and the largest democracy in the world. In a virtual address during Rozgar Mela, after distributing over 51,000 appointment letters to youths, the PM said his government's welfare schemes, be it building over four crore houses for the poor, distributing over 10 crore new LPG connections or the rooftop solar programme, have created lakhs of new employment opportunities, and so have a host of other initiatives that led to growth in manufacturing sector. Exhorting the youth to work hard for the nation, he said the motto should be 'citizens first', and underlined that their careers would be the most important phase of 'Amrit Kaal' for the country. 'The world acknowledges today that India possesses two infinite powers. One is demography, the other is democracy. In other words, the largest youth population and the largest democracy,' he said. Asserting that the country has progressed in every field in the past 11 years, PM Modi said electronic manufacturing had risen over five times and mobile manufacturing units have increased to nearly 300 from two to four earlier. Noting that over 25 crore people were lifted out of poverty in the past 10 years, the PM said it would not have happened but for the employment and sources of income generated for them. Citing an International Labour Organization report, Modi said over 90 crore people were covered under the ambit of welfare schemes in the last decade. The worth of defence production has gone beyond `1.25 lakh crore, he said, adding that India is now on the way to becoming the third-largest economy. Defence manufacturing is being discussed proudly after Operation Sindoor, he said in an apparent reference to the display of India's indigenous military capability during the conflict with Pakistan. The government, he said, was focusing on creating new employment opportunities through the Employment Linked Incentive Scheme, under which people in their first job in the private sector would be given `15,000 by the government. He added that this is expected to help create about 3.5 crore new jobs.

In Karnataka, Shakti scheme ticket count set to cross 500-crore mark
Bengaluru: On Monday, the Shakti scheme — offering free bus travel for women in the state — is set to cross the 500-crore ridership milestone. To mark the occasion, chief minister Siddaramaiah and his deputy DK Shivakumar will travel in a city bus and personally issue tickets to women passengers. Transport minister Ramalinga Reddy told TOI that at the district level, committees overseeing implementation of the five guarantee schemes will celebrate the milestone by distributing sweets and flowers. The Shakti scheme was the first of the five guarantees launched by Congress govt. From June 11, 2023 to July 11, 2025, the state's four road transport corporations — KSRTC, BMTC, NWKRTC, and KKRTC — issued over 497 crore tickets. The corporations have spent a whopping Rs 12,614 crore to provide free travel facilities for women on ordinary bus services. Out of nearly 25,000 buses, women are allowed to travel in over 20,000. In June this year, conductors issued more than 73 lakh tickets daily to women availing of the free travel benefit.

In the first month of the scheme's launch, RTCs issued over 10 crore tickets, incurring an expenditure of Rs 250 crore. In the second month, the number of tickets issued rose to nearly 20 crore, and the cost reached Rs 453 crore. Patronage continued to grow in the following months. The highest number of tickets — over 22 crore — was issued in May 2025, accounting for Rs 670 crore. Following an upward revision in bus fares in Jan 2025, the expenditure to provide free travel under the scheme saw a significant jump. Reddy said, "Naturally, when there is a revision in bus fares, the cost of providing benefits under the scheme increases. During festive seasons and holidays, we also see increased patronage. As promised, the state govt has been supporting RTCs by reimbursing the expenditure. Except for a pending amount of Rs 2,750 crore, RTCs have received the rest of the funds spent under the scheme." He stated that the govt has extended additional financial support to RTCs by providing a loan of Rs 2,000 crore and facilitating the induction of new buses. "After coming to power, we have taken measures to induct 5,800 new buses and recruit 10,000 staff, including 1,000 on compassionate grounds. RTCs currently have a liability of Rs 4,000 crore due to the lack of support from the previous BJP govt," Reddy added.

Gujarat high court quashes criminal complaint against company for defaulting on CSR responsibilities
Ahmedabad: The Gujarat high court quashed a criminal complaint filed by the registrar of companies (ROC) against a company on charges of non-compliance with corporate social responsibility (CSR) rules, specifically for inadequate disclosure and under-expenditure on CSR activities. Acknowledging the shift in legislative approach, the HC quashed the complaint and referred the issue to the adjudicating authority to fix the penalty on the company. This decision came after the central govt in 2020 amended the Companies Act, decriminalising the offence and reducing the punishment to a fine. In this case, the ROC filed a complaint under the Companies Act in a city court in 2017 against KHS Machinery Pvt Ltd for defaulting on its CSR obligations for the financial year 2014-15. The principal district judge initiated proceedings against the company. You Can Also Check: Ahmedabad AQI | Weather in Ahmedabad | Bank Holidays in Ahmedabad | Public Holidays in Ahmedabad The company approached the HC in 2017, alleging that the ROC filed the complaint "with an ulterior motive and in abuse of the process of law". The company contended that it constituted a CSR committee and framed its own CSR policy in accordance with the statutory mandate. In line with its CSR obligations, the company began spending amounts towards social causes as stipulated in its CSR policy. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Các chỉ số toàn cầu đang biến động — Đã đến lúc giao dịch! IC Markets Tìm hiểu thêm Undo All relevant disclosures were duly made in the Board of Directors' Report in compliance with Section 134(3)(o) of the Companies Act. Still, the ROC filed the complaint. The quashing petition was pending since 2017. When it came up for hearing, the company contended that the case pertained to Section 134(8) of the Companies Act and the said offence was decriminalised in 2020, with the punishment reduced to a fine. It prayed that the benefit of reduction in punishment should be given with retrospective effect. It also cited a Supreme Court order in this regard. After hearing the case, Justice J C Doshi quashed the complaint and ordered the issue to be sent to the authority concerned for fixing the penalty. The HC stated, "Evidently, the benefit of decriminalisation of the offence ought to ensure to the benefit of the petitioner, in as much as the Amendment Act passed by the central govt has decriminalised the punishment in cases pertaining to CSR violations and reduced the consequences to the imposition of a fine only. There appears to be no justifiable reason to deny the retrospective benefit of such decriminalisation to the petitioner–accused."
