MR-10 ROB to become 8 lanes for easing traffic ahead of Simhastha 2028
This crucial project, estimated at Rs 48 crore, will transform the existing four-lane bridge into an eight-lane structure, with four new lanes extending towards Kumedi.
Once completed, the wider ROB is expected to provide substantial relief from traffic congestion for thousands of commuters travelling towards Ujjain, as well as those using the Super Corridor, Ring Road, Vijay Nagar and Metro route.
Indore Development Authority (IDA) invited tenders for the construction of the additional four lanes for the MR-10 ROB.
Eight agencies expressed interest in the project, and their bids are currently under evaluation. The final agency is expected to be selected within a week, with construction commencing thereafter. This ROB serves as a vital link connecting Indore's rapidly developing Super Corridor and Ujjain Road areas, ensuring seamless traffic flow alongside the Metro line.
The expansion is anticipated to significantly alleviate existing traffic bottlenecks.

The project is slated for completion within 18 months using modern construction techniques.
"Tenders for the ROB's construction have been received," stated the authority CEO RP Ahirwar. He added that necessary no-objection certificates (NOCs) from the railways and other departments were already secured to prevent any construction delays.
The expanded ROB will have a total length of 713.5 metre and a width of 45 metre.
Additionally, the culvert on the Vijay Nagar side will also be widened. Currently, over 15,000 vehicles traverse the existing four-lane ROB daily, often leading to queues and congestion. The addition of four new lanes aims to resolve this issue.
The MR-10 ROB was originally constructed approximately two decades ago. But, over time, the rapid development of colonies along the Super Corridor and Ujjain Road, coupled with a significant increase in vehicle traffic to Ujjain following the development of Shree Mahakal Lok, rendered the current four-lane bridge inadequate.
The expansion is therefore essential to accommodate the increased traffic volume.
Senior officials said, the expanded ROB will play a pivotal role during 2028 Simhastha Kumbh Mela in Ujjain. Millions of pilgrims and vehicles are expected to travel through MR-10 to reach Ujjain. The eight-lane bridge will ensure smoother and faster vehicular movement, leading to reduced travel times and fuel savings. This infrastructure enhancement complements other completed projects, such as the flyover at Luvkush square, further bolstering Indore's preparedness for the massive religious gathering.

Formula-E Race Deal… ACB quizzes Arvind Kumar on KTR's role in transfer of funds
The Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) today subjected IAS officer Arvind Kumar to a rigorous six-hour interrogation in connection with the ongoing Formula E-race case. This marks the third time the former Municipal Administration and Urban Development (MA&UD) official has been summoned by the probing agency regarding alleged financial irregularities in the Formula E-Race deal. ACB officials reportedly questioned Mr Kumar extensively on the role of former MA&UD minister KT Rama Rao in the transfer of funds to the Formula E-race company without obtaining due government approval. Sources indicate that the IAS officer arrived at the ACB headquarters at 11:40 AM and departed around 5:15 PM, with the questioning session punctuated by a 30-minute lunch break and two tea breaks. Mr Kumar was reportedly pressed on allegations raised by complainant Principal Secretary M Dana Kishore, particularly concerning his involvement in transferring funds overseas. The ACB registered a First Information Report (FIR) against KTR on 19 December last year. The FIR also named Aravind Kumar, then Special Chief Secretary to Government, Municipal Administration and Urban Development (MA&UD) department, and B L N Reddy, then Chief Engineer of Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Authority (HMDA). The complainant alleges that the Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Authority (HMDA) made payments exceeding Rs 54.88 crore to Formula-E Operations Limited (FEO) and associated entities, bypassing standard financial protocols. According to the FIR, Rs 45.7 crore was transferred to FEO between September and October 2023, despite FEO having already terminated its agreement with the Telangana government. This payment reportedly incurred an additional tax burden of Rs 8.06 crore, which was absorbed by the HMDA. A tripartite agreement signed in October 2022 between the Telangana government, FEO, and event sponsor Ace Nxt Gen Pvt Ltd had initially limited the State government's financial responsibility. However, the FIR claims that disputes between FEO and Ace Nxt Gen Pvt Ltd led to the government assuming financial liability without necessary regulatory approvals, thereby causing significant losses to the exchequer.

Pakistan, China will tremble as India gets approval for its deadly new weapon, can neutralize threats in blink of an eye, name is..., range is...
In the past, we were nowhere near the level of technology that we have now; threats and weapons to counter those threats were limited to the technology of the times. But as threats have increased, so has the technology we possess to address those threats. As an example, the Indian Army today possesses a range of short, medium, and long-range missile air defense systems that can, in large part, effectively take out any enemy aircraft, helicopter, or drone trying to enter Indian airspace. Now, there is another new member to the family of air defense systems, set to join the Indian Army. The Defence Acquisition Council (DAC), with Defence Minister Rajnath Singh as the chair, has given the go-ahead to the project. The estimated total cost of the project is around the value of Rs 33,000 crore. The Army now has the Quick Response Surface-to-Air Missile (QRSAM) system, ready for deployment. The DAC is the highest decision-making body regarding procurement for the Indian Army, Air Force and Navy. Including the Defence Minister, the council also has the Chiefs of all three services, the Defence Secretary, the Secretary of Defence Production, the Secretary of Defence Research and Development, the Chief of Integrated Defence Staff, the Director General Acquisition, and the Chief of Integrated Staff Committees, who are also members of the council. A unique aspect of the QRSAM system is its tracked mobile platform concept. The system is predominantly used in offensive ground combat, mostly when tanks are advancing into enemy space. These mechanized air defense units will move along with Indian tanks as they transition through hostile areas, ready to locate and destroy aerial threats. The QRSAM system was developed by the DRDO, its missiles and radar components manufactured domestically by BEL, and the vehicle platform manufactured by BDL. The Indian Army is pursuing the acquisition of three regiments of the system. According to the official website of DRDO, Quick Reaction Surface to Air Missile System (QRSAM) is a Short Range Surface to Air Missile system designed to protect moving armoured columns from aerial attacks. The entire weapon system is configured on highly mobile platforms and is capable of providing air defence on the move. QRSAM Weapon Systems is being inducted into the Indian Army (IA). The QRSAM can intercept many aerial threats, including enemy fighter jets, attack helicopters, precision guided munitions, and other aerial platforms up to 30 kilometers away. Each launcher is mounted on an 8×8 high mobility truck and has six missile tubes; it can engage as many as six separate threats simultaneously. The system possesses robust electronic countermeasures (ECM) that protect against a jamming attempt. Importantly, the QRSAM has completed all events related to developmental and operational testing successfully. The Indian Army's air defense systems currently are vehicle-based and are Russian made, and obtained decades ago. These systems include Shilka, Tunguska, Strela-10M, Osa-AK, and Pechora. The mostly indigenous QRSAM will allow for many of these systems to be replaced. Pechora could be deployed in mobile and stationary modalities, but most of the existing systems are no longer operational due to age. The Army is introducing the Akash missile system to replace more antiquated systems as part of their modernization. Although the Akash system is effective, it is stationary, unlike the other mobile systems it replaces.
