Corporator submits memorandum over incomplete construction of roads, drains

Time of India09-06-2025
Prayagraj: Senior Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader and corporator Kiran Jaiswal on Monday submitted a memorandum to the vice chairman of Prayagraj Development Authority (PDA), Amit Pal Sharma, regarding the irregularities being committed during the construction of roads and drain tracks in the old city area.
"During the Maha Kumbh Mela, the drain construction work on Shankar Lal Bhargava road and Triveni road was left incomplete and as a result, water is currently stagnant at many spots, creating a risk of infection, she asserted.
The corporator further alleged that the drain track was to be constructed from Hatia Police Booth Square to ADC Square and from Kotha Parcha Dot's bridge to Cemetery Road. However, PDA authorities left the construction of the drain incomplete at many places and drain water remained stagnant, leaving local residents puzzled.
She also said that the drain outlet was around one-and-a-half feet above the road, and pipes were laid down in the track to let water release into the drain. Due to this, water will fill the road in the coming rainy season. The BJP leader mentioned that the electricity work was also incomplete.
Sharma, after listening to the entire matter, ordered the chief engineer and zonal officer to immediately rectify the work and assured that all the incomplete works would be completed with good quality.
Besides, Vivek Agrawal, Rajesh Kesarwani, and others were present during the meeting.

Indus Waters Treaty was a Himalayan blunder by Nehru: JP Nadda

New Delhi: In a thread of posts on X on Monday, BJP national president JP Nadda has once again raised the issue of Indus Waters Treaty (IWT) signed by former PM Jawaharlal Nehru in 1960, calling the move "Nehru's Himalayan blunder". He accused Nehru of sidelining national interest for personal ambitions -- toeing the BJP's oft-repeated stance that the treaty was an unfair deal for the country. "Even today, India would have continued to pay the price for one man's misplaced idealism, if not for Prime Minister Modi's bold leadership and his commitment to 'Nation First'. By putting the Indus Waters Treaty in abeyance, PM Modi has corrected yet another grave historical wrong committed by Congress ," he posted on X. Talking about the agreement, Nadda mentioned a discussion on IWT in Parliament in November 1960 where, he said, Congress MPs had also spoken against the IWT. "The most appalling aspect was that he (Nehru) did it without consulting Parliament. The treaty was signed in September 1960. However, it was placed before Parliament only two months later, in November, and that too, for a token discussion of a mere two hours," he wrote.

Is pitch clear for another Scindia to don MPCA prez cap?

Bhopal/Indore: As Madhya Pradesh Cricket Association (MPCA) heads towards an election, scheduled for Sept 2, is Mahanaryaman Scindia headed for a walkover? Sources in the MPCA say that with Mahanaryaman's father, Union minister , now in BJP, the traditional rivalry between the Scindia faction and that led by state minister and veteran BJP leader Kailash Vijayvargia is over, paving the way for Scindia junior getting to the post of association president unopposed. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The third and powerful faction, led by former BCCI secretary and MPCA president Sanjay Jagdale, is likely to secure majority of important seats. While incumbent president Abhilash Khandekar is set to complete his second term, sources indicate preparations are underway to nominate Mahanaryaman for the president's post. Currently, Mahanaryaman holds the position of vice-president of the Gwalior cricket division. Mahanaryaman's administrative skills came to the fore with the launch of the Madhya Pradesh Premiere League Scindia Cup two years ago in Gwalior and the event has been successful since its inception. One of the editions, initially scheduled to be organised earlier this year in Indore, was later shifted to Gwalior. "The league has shown that Mahanaryaman has the knack to take up bigger responsibilities," said a senior cricketer. Sources told TOI members from the Sanjay Jagdale and Kailash Vijayvargiya factions may be assigned significant responsibilities within the association. Ahead of the elections, officials from eight divisions of the association reached Indore on Monday for the MPCA award function. "Since everyone was in Indore, it was an opportunity to meet ahead of the election. The scenario would get clearer in the next couple of days. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now As of now, it is clear that one name has been decided unopposed for the post of president," said a senior member of MPCA on the condition of anonymity. Jyotiraditya and his father Madhavrao Scindia have been MPCA presidents in the past. While the election for the post of president is expected to be unopposed, there is a possibility of significant competition for the post of secretary. Sources said a candidate from Jagdale's group might be chosen for this position.
