Ink attack on Pravin Gaikwad was not an assault, says Deepak Kate
08 Aug 2025 | 12:20 AM
Mumbai, Aug 7 (UNI) Deepak Kate, President of the Shivdharma Pratishthan, has clarified that merely ink was thrown at Pravin Gaikwad and no physical attack took place. Accusing the Sambhaji Brigade of starting the trend of ink attacks, Kate questioned, "Why is it called an ink attack when you do it, but a life-threatening assault when we do?'
Speaking about the incident in Akkalkot, Kate said the ink was thrown in protest against the Sambhaji Brigade referring to Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj disrespectfully by omitting honorifics from their name. "We waited for one and a half years for them to correct the name. We sent letters, held protests. If there were technical difficulties, they should have informed us. If they couldn't use 'Sambhaji Maharaj', they could have at least used 'Sambhaji Raje', he said.

If SP understood real ABCD, it wouldn't be out of power: Rajbhar
Lucknow: State cabinet minister Om Prakash Rajbhar launched a scathing counterattack to the (SP) chief 's recent 'ABCD' analogy to target the ruling BJP. Rajbhar asserted that during the SP's tenure, 'ABCD' stood for Araajakta (lawlessness), Bhrashtachar (corruption), Chori (theft), and Dalali (brokerage)—a reflection, he claimed, of the party's administrative failures. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now "If the Samajwadi Party truly understood the real ABCD, it wouldn't be out of power today," he quipped. Reacting to police lodging a case against a local Saharanpur SP functionary for allegedly teaching kids "A for Akhilesh, D for Dimple" at a PDA pathshala he opened at his house recently, former UP CM had quipped that people in the state are being booked for teaching kids ABCD. Rajbhar claimed that government schools in the SP regime were plagued by the copying mafia and recruitment scams, with no significant infrastructure development. "Broken walls, collapsing roofs, filthy toilets, and falling student numbers—this was the true face of education back then," he said. He accused the SP of fostering instability, shielding criminals, and promoting favoritism. Extending the analogy further, Rajbhar added Y for Yadavism and Z for zero change, alleging that SP's policies were caste-driven, nepotistic, and chaotic. In contrast, Rajbhar highlighted the BJP government's "revolutionary" reforms in education. Under Operation Kayakalp, Rs 11,500 crore has been invested to upgrade facilities in over 96% of government schools. The 'School Chalo Abhiyan' reportedly enrolled over 27 lakh new students this year, signaling increased public confidence. Rajbhar emphasized that under the Yogi government, the education system has become more transparent and accountable. Citing the ASER 2024 and PARAKH survey reports, he noted that class 3 students in Uttar Pradesh are now performing above the national average. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The Prerna Portal is being used to digitally monitor teacher and student attendance, as well as resource allocation. Taking a final swipe at the SP, Rajbhar said, "In their rule, the temples of learning crumbled; in ours, the lamps of knowledge were lit. Akhilesh Yadav shut schools, we opened new ones. They kept 3.45 crore children away from education—we brought them back to books and classrooms."

Land woes stall Rs 12.7k-cr highway projects in Punjab
Chandigarh: Over a dozen major national highway projects worth about Rs 12,700 crore in Punjab have either been stalled, delayed or face termination, primarily due to persistent land acquisition hurdles and delays in statutory clearances, the Union ministry of road transport and highways has informed Parliament. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now In a reply to an unstarred question by Congress MP Sukhjinder Singh Randhawa, Union road transport and highways minister Nitin Gadkari said several infrastructure projects being executed by the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) and the Punjab public works department (PWD) are experiencing significant setbacks. Key packages of the Delhi-Amritsar-Katra expressway are among the affected NHAI-implemented projects. The Amritsar connectivity spur II, sanctioned at Rs 2,197.17 crore for a length of 30.05 km, was terminated due to non-availability of land, with fresh bids to be invited once possession is secured. Spur III, which covers 28.1km and sanctioned at Rs 1,951.7 crore, is ongoing but delayed, with a revised completion date of Nov 30, 2026. The Amritsar-Bathinda (package I) project, costing Rs 1,229.38 crore over 39 km, commenced on Nov 14, 2022, and was initially scheduled for completion by Nov 13, 2024. It is now expected to be completed by Dec 31, 2026, due to land acquisition issues. Likewise, Amritsar–Ghoman–Tanda–Una (Package-I), sanctioned at Rs 1,443.47 crore for 45.73 km, is delayed for similar reasons and is now targeted for completion by Jun 30, 2026. Package II of the same corridor, measuring 31.05 km and valued at Rs 818.41 crore, has been terminated due to land unavailability. Another delayed NHAI project is the Amritsar (Airport Junction)–Ramdas (Package-IV) stretch, sanctioned at Rs 416.58 crore for 38.978 km. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The project began on March 16, 2022, with an initial completion deadline of Sept 15, 2023, but is now projected to finish by Sept 30, 2025, due to delays in acquiring land. In the Ludhiana–Rupnagar corridor, package I, which covers 37.7 km at a cost of Rs 1,368.91 crore, commenced on Dec 12, 2022. The concessionaire issued a termination notice citing delays in land handover and has demobilised resources from the site. The matter is under conciliation through the Conciliation Committee of Independent Experts (CCIE). Meanwhile, package II, spanning 47.24 km and sanctioned at Rs 1,488.23 crore, was terminated for the same reason, with re-tendering to be undertaken after land possession is secured. Rs 1,800cr Punjab PWD projects also delayed Projects implemented by the Punjab public works department have also seen significant disruptions. The Jalandhar–Hoshiarpur NH-3 four-laning project (39.13 km, Rs 1,069.59 crore), awarded on Oct 23, 2017, is under termination due to land acquisition delays. Similarly, the Jakhal bypass on NH-148B (5 km, Rs 50.13 crore), awarded on Jan 9, 2020, is being terminated after only 0.6 km of land could be handed over to the contractor. Other ongoing but delayed projects include the Jalandhar–Hoshiarpur NH-3 widening (3.57 km, Rs 15.04 crore), which faces right-of-way constraints and now has a revised completion target of Nov 30, 2025. The Makhu–Arifke section of NH-703A, including two ROBs (24.6 km, Rs 192.48 crore), initially due by May 14, 2021, is now expected to be completed by Dec 31, 2025. The ROB project on NH-7 at Fazilka (Rs 38.02 crore), awarded on Feb 28, 2023, was delayed due to pending railway clearances but is now in progress and targeted for completion by Oct 31, 2025. The NH-354 upgrade from Arifke to Ferozepur–Muktsar–Malout, covering 63.27 km and costing Rs 263.2 crore, was affected by delays in obtaining no-objection Certificates from the irrigation department and land acquisition issues. It is now expected to be completed by Dec 31, 2025. The Muktsar Sahib–Malout section of NH-354 (27.66 km, Rs 152.58 crore) is ongoing, with all work except the toll plaza completed. Construction of the toll plaza has been delayed due to land issues, and the PWD has been advised to redesign it within the available right-of-way. Additionally, the Jalandhar–Kapurthala–Makhu stretch of NH-703A (7.3 km, Rs 53 crore), awarded in Dec 2023, has been delayed due to aggregate shortage and excessive rainfall, but is expected to be completed by Sept 15. The ministry said that "projects in the state of Punjab are mainly delayed/stalled/terminated due to the issues relating to land acquisition and delay in obtaining statutory clearances". It confirmed that the govt is taking requisite measures in consultation with all stakeholders, including the Punjab govt, to resolve these challenges and resume stalled works wherever feasible. 4 NHAI PROJECTS TERMINATED Project | Length (km) | Cost | Status Delhi–Amritsar–Katra Expressway Amritsar connectivity Spur II | 30.05km | Rs 2,197.2cr | Terminated due to non-availability of land; fresh bids after possession Amritsar connectivity Spur III | 28.1km | 1,951.7cr | Ongoing, but delayed to Nov 30, 2026 Amritsar–Bathinda Package I | 39km | 1,229.4cr | Delayed from Nov 13, 2024, to Dec 31, 2026 Amritsar–Ghoman–Tanda–Una Package I | 45.7km | 1,443.5cr | Delayed to Jun 30, 2026 Package II | 31.05km | 818.41cr | Terminated due to land unavailability Amritsar (Airport Jn)–Ramdas Package IV | 38.9km | 416.6cr | Delayed to Sept 30, 2025, due to land acquisition Ludhiana–Rupnagar Package I | 37.7km | 1,368.9cr | Termination notice issued; matter under conciliation with CCIE Package II | 47.2km | 1,488.2cr | Terminated; re-tendering after land possession
