‘Waterlogging at some white-topped stretches on NH48'
Vasai: Waterlogging was reported Monday on the newly laid white-topped surface at some sections of Mumbai-Ahmedabad National Highway (NH48), said commuters. National Highways Authority of India sources alleged agencies failed to curb illegal land reclamation on NH48.

Suhas Chitnis, project director, NHAI, said, "We have already started working to tackle waterlogging.

PWD zeroes in on 11 road black spots in need for repair
1 2 Lucknow: The public works department (PWD), in its latest survey, has identified 11 locations where road safety work is required to repair the black spots. While three accident spots are situated within the city, the remaining eight are on the national highways connecting the city with the neighbouring districts. The road stretches where vulnerability was detected, owing to conflicts between motor vehicles, non-motorised vehicles and pedestrians are majorly situated over the Lucknow-Ayodhya road. Kamta crossing in Chinhat, which witnesses regular bottlenecks as city traffic merges with the highway-bound traffic, as well as motorists who ply via Shaheed path, is one of the key black spots. "Road engineering needs to be improved around the intersection. We have requested the local administration and police to get the encroachment and roadside vendors removed. Regular drives are also needed against the e-rickshaw and autorickshaw drivers, and bus drivers need to be sensitised," said an engineer deputed in the city. However, the owner of a stationery shop in the Ismailganj locality along the highway, Vikas Chandra, added, "A lot of vehicle owners are caught unaware and take the mandatory U-turn that was constructed to facilitate movement towards the Allahabad high court building under the flyover. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 5 Books Warren Buffett Wants You to Read In 2025 Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo The concrete embankment created to funnel the vehicle into the U-turn lane is just one foot from the ground, and at night, a lot of vehicles collide into it unknowingly. " Similarly, near Adarsh dhabha on the Faizabad road in Chinhat, measures need to be taken to reduce conflicts. Kisan path intersection, further ahead on the route, is another point where multiple accidents have been reported. Also, near a fuel station situated close to the Barabanki border, the median needs to be strengthened to discourage two-wheelers from plying in the wrong direction. The other locations where repair or improvements are needed include the Vibhuti Khand-Shaheed path intersection near Indira Gandhi Pratisthan, the stretch near Malhaur railway station, and Kumhrawan intersection on Sitapur road, among others. Officials said that a budget of close to Rs 52 lakh will be required for the improvement works. In the past, the most vulnerable black spot was detected around the Gosainganj trisection on the Sultanpur road. However, measures were taken to reduce casualties. Over the years, more than 85 fatal accidents took place over the 500-mt road stretch owing to over-speeding, wrong-side driving and jumping the road signals, among other reasons.

Project worth Rs700 crore to help Kanpur turn into electric vehicles manufacturing hub
Lucknow: The Uttar Pradesh govt is set to establish Kanpur as a major hub for electric vehicle (EV) manufacturing. Under the Kanpur Metropolitan Development Vision-2030, Uttar Pradesh State Industrial Development Authority (UPSIDA) will develop a cutting-edge EV park over 500 acres near Bhimsen, along the Dedicated Freight Corridor. The initiative by the Yogi Adityanath govt is also a significant step toward promoting clean energy and environmental conservation, said an official. With an estimated cost of Rs 700 crore, the project will be executed under the Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model and is poised to position Kanpur as a key player in India's EV ecosystem, the official added. The primary objective of the EV park is to strengthen the local supply chain for electric vehicles and promote indigenous manufacturing. The park will house units for manufacturing electric motors, chassis, steel parts, and lithium-ion cells. Facilities for assembling lithium-ion batteries, chargers, controllers, and electronic components will also be established. A dedicated research and development (R&D) centre will be a vital part of the project, driving innovation and facilitating advanced product development. This R&D unit is expected to contribute not only to local progress but also to the global advancement of EV technologies. The establishment of the EV park will not only position Kanpur as an EV manufacturing hub but will also significantly boost the state's economy. Alongside the park, an integrated EV components cluster is being developed to support small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in producing parts and components. This will create fresh opportunities for local entrepreneurs and startups, and generate substantial employment. Its proximity to the DFCC corridor gives the park a strategic advantage in terms of logistics and connectivity. Well-connected by rail and road networks, it will facilitate smooth transportation of raw materials and finished goods. By accelerating EV production, the project aims to reduce carbon emissions and enhance the adoption of sustainable energy sources. The EV park under the Kanpur Development Vision – 2030 will serve as a symbol of industrial innovation and progress, placing Kanpur prominently on the global electric vehicle manufacturing map.

Bike taxi ban in Bengaluru: Thousands of riders struggle to find their footing
Bengaluru: The ban on bike taxis has left thousands of riders in the lurch, stripping them of a livelihood that many had come to rely on. From college students riding to pay their fees to tech professionals laid off during the slowdown, bike taxis had emerged as more than just a quick side hustle. For many in Bengaluru, it became a reliable fallback, a way to stay afloat in tough times. Riders said they travelled over 100km of traffic-clogged roads and earned up to Rs 3,000 a day, a sum that covered a significant chunk of their monthly expenses. For others, especially those with weekday jobs, it became the perfect weekend gig. TOI spoke to several riders who described how the job offered more than financial support — it gave them a purpose and a human connection. "Riding helped me beat loneliness," said a college dropout trying to save up for higher education, adding: "Every ride was a chance to meet someone new, to feel useful and earn while doing something I enjoyed." Indra Shekar, a 25-year-old from Mahadevapura who rode on Rapido and Uber platforms, said he would save money for his business after he couldn't land a software job post his engineering course. "I've always wanted to start a business, but a regular monthly salary makes saving tough. That's when I turned to bike taxis — no pressure, no targets and full flexibility. This ban will hit many like me who use the mode to chase bigger dreams. I'm even considering shifting to Hyderabad to continue riding — I'm not giving this up," Shekar added. Another bike-taxi driver, Jagadeesh, a 24-year-old non-IT professional, said the bike-taxi gig has been a financial lifeline amid rising costs. "I earned around Rs 3,000 a day and managed to save at least Rs 2,000. These days, a full-time job alone isn't enough — especially if you want to set aside some money or make a big purchase in a city as expensive as Bengaluru," he said. Sagar, who works from 6pm till midnight, said the sudden halt in bike-taxi services has upended his routine and livelihood. "It's very disappointing. It had been a lifesaver, offering me the freedom to work on my own terms," he said, adding: "Now, I've lost my only source of income and am looking for a job." A 27-year-old techie chose to ride a bike taxi to overcome loneliness: "I stay in Whitefield, and after office hours, I take rides on my way home. It's a way to have some company during the long and often boring traffic jams. It also helps me build new relationships." We need framework: Assn Namma Bike Taxi Association submitted a memorandum to CM Siddaramaiah and Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, urging their intervention to support over 1 lakh gig workers affected by the ban. They demanded a policy framework to regularize bike-taxi services. "The drivers demand clear rules on licensing, insurance and safety rather than being criminalized overnight. "We are part of the same informal economy that Karnataka claims to support. Why are we being shut out without a conversation?" questioned Mohammed Salim, president of Namma Bike Taxi Association.
