Delhi-Dehradun Expressway nears completion, may get open on..., plan is to complete work by...
New Delhi: PM Narendra Modi inaugurated the Delhi section of Dwarka Expressway and Urban Extension Road-2 in Delhi on Sunday, 17 August. After this, discussions have started on the projects going on in Ghaziabad as to when they will be inaugurated. Recently, Union Minister Nitin Gadkari had talked about the inauguration of the Delhi-Dehradun Expressway by October. In such a situation, it is expected that people can get the gift of the Delhi-Dehradun Expressway on this Diwali. According to the NBT, it was found that about 15% work is still left on the Delhi-Dehradun Expressway. How many parts are ready? The part from Akshardham to Baghpat is completely ready. 10% work is still left in the Baghpat to Saharanpur part. At the same time, about 5 per cent work is left from Saharanpur to Chhutman. The target is to complete both these remaining works by October. The work between Chhutman and Dehradun has been completed. In such a situation, it is being claimed that the Delhi-Dehradun Expressway will be operational by October, according to the NBT reports. How much work is remaining to be completed? At the same time, if NHAI officials are to be believed, more than 90 per cent of the work has been completed, and the remaining work is being completed rapidly. The work will be completed within two months, but sources say that it will be difficult to complete the work within three to four months, according to reports. What was the deadline? It is known that this project was to be completed in March 2024, but the completion of the project is getting delayed. Earlier, some part of it was set to open in January 2025, but later it was postponed. This expressway will mainly connect Delhi, Baghpat, Muzaffarnagar, Shamli, Saharanpur and then Dehradun. Although six lanes have been constructed at most places, for future needs, it can also be expanded from 8 to 12 lanes.

Trinamool Leader Anubrata Mondal Gets Bail In Police Officer Abuse Case
Bolpur: A court in West Bengal's Birbhum district on Monday granted bail to TMC leader Anubrata Mondal after he surrendered in the court and moved an anticipatory relief petition in connection with the case of alleged use of abusive and derogatory language during a telephonic conversation with a police officer. Mondal's plea on health grounds was accepted by Judicial Magistrate Banikbrata Dutta of Bolpur Subdivision Court on a surety of Rs 1,000 and on condition that he will continue to cooperate with the probe and meet the investigating officer (IO) when summoned, court officials said. In a leaked four-minute telephonic conversation between Mondal and Bolpur police station inspector-in-charge Litan Halder on May 29 this year, the authenticity of which PTI couldn't independently verify, the Birbhum Trinamool Congress leader was heard hurling invectives at the police officer and threatening his wife and mother. Left red-faced by the audio-clip, the party issued him a four-hour apology deadline and a suo motu FIR was lodged against him by the police. Mondal was issued police summons and his security details withdrawn. Faced with party annoyance, Mondal tendered written apologies to both the police officer and the TMC state president Subrata Bakshi but avoided responding to the initial summons from Bolpur Police. On June 6, seven days after the purported audio clip surfaced, Mondal appeared before the Bolpur SDPO where his cell phone was reportedly inspected. Mondal arrived at the Bolpur Subdivision Court around 10.40 am on Monday for his voluntary surrender and his bail hearing was taken up post 2 pm. "The court granted him bail considering his age and the physical ailments he suffers from. There are no pre-conditions to his bail," said Nupur Dutta Banerjee, Mondal's counsel. "I had submitted before the court that the IO in this case did not duly comply with the notice served to Mondal under Section 35(3) of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita (BNSS), 2023, which outlines the procedure for police to issue a notice to individuals in cognisable offenses where arrest isn't immediately necessary," said Phiroj Pal, government lawyer, confirming that he opposed the bail prayer. "Secondly, we are still not privy to the police's case diary (CD) and have no idea how far the investigations in this case have so far progressed. We wanted the court to wait till we had the CD in our hand," he added. Pal said that the court was prima facie satisfied with the petitioner's submission that Mondal has cooperated with the police and that there has been no progress in the probe for a formidable period. In September 2024, Mondal was granted bail in the multi-crore cattle smuggling case when he stepped out of the Tihar Jail after remaining imprisoned for over two years.
