Starting I-Day, Pune Metro to increase frequency during peak hours to six minutes
In a bid to increase commuter convenience, the Pune Metro will run trains every six minutes during peak hours from 9 am to 11 am and from 4 pm to 8 pm beginning this Independence Day on August 15, 2025. Whereas the non-peak interval of 10 minutes will remain unchanged. Currently, metro trains are run every seven minutes during peak hours from 9 am to 11 am and from 4 pm to 8 pm. This will significantly reduce waiting times and improve commuter comfort. (HT FILE) Shravan Hardikar, managing director, Maha-Metro, said, 'The consistent growth in passenger numbers reflects Pune Metro's increasing popularity. To meet this demand, we are adding more daily trips and introducing a train every six minutes during peak hours. This will significantly reduce waiting times and improve commuter comfort.' The Maharashtra Metro Rail Corporation Limited (Maha-Metro) currently operates 490 trips daily on its two corridors namely Vanaz to Ramwadi and Pimpri-Chinchwad Municipal Corporation (PCMC) to Swargate. With the new schedule, 64 additional trips will be introduced, increasing the total number of trips to 554 per day. Officials said the change will help reduce crowding and waiting times for commuters. The Maha-Metro has been preparing for the upgrade for the past two months, conducting multiple technical trials to ensure smooth operations. The move comes as metro ridership continues to increase — from 1.92 lakh daily passengers in July 2025 to an average of 2.13 lakh daily passengers thus far in August.

Op Sindoor success to feature in I-Day event
NEW DELHI: The success of Operation Sindoor will be hailed at the Independence Day celebrations at Red Fort on Friday, three months after Indian forces hit terror and military targets in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir in retaliation for the April 22 Pahalgam terror attack. Police personnel during the full dress rehearsal for the 79th Independence Day Parade 2025, at Gandhi Maidan in Patna on Wednesday. (ANI PHOTO) A Mi-17 helicopter will troop a flag depicting Operation Sindoor, the invitation cards carry the operation's distinct logo, the view cutter at Gyanpath will showcase the logo, and the floral decoration will be based on the operation, the defence ministry said on Wednesday. 'The invitation cards are also carrying the watermark of Chenab bridge, depicting the rise of 'Naya Bharat,'' the defence ministry said in a statement. Prime Minister Narendra Modi will lead the celebrations at the 79th Independence Day, and address the nation from the ramparts of the Red Fort. He is expected to talk about the operation in his speech. 'As the nation is making giant strides towards realising the government's vision of Viksit Bharat by 2047, the theme of this year's celebrations is Naya Bharat. The celebrations will serve as a platform to commemorate the continuing rise of a prosperous, secure and bold Naya Bharat and provide renewed power to surge further ahead on the path to progress,' the ministry said. The success of Operation Sindoor is being hailed at a time when the government has made it clear that strikes against terror mark a new normal for India. India launched the operation in the early hours of May 7 and struck terror and military installations in Pakistan and Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK) following the April 22 Pahalgam terror strike. Between the launch of the operation in the early hours of May 7 and the ceasefire on May 10 evening, Indian forces bombed nine terror camps in Pakistan and PoK, killing at least 100 terrorists, and the Indian Air Force struck targets at 13 Pakistani airbases and military installations. The operation was recently discussed in Parliament too. Lieutenant Colonel Harsh Gupta and Havildar Surinder Singh designed the logo of Operation Sindoor. The PM will be greeted by defence minister Rajnath Singh, minister of state for defence Sanjay Seth, defence secretary Rajesh Kumar Singh, chief of defence staff General Anil Chauhan, army chief General Upendra Dwivedi, navy chief Admiral Dinesh K Tripathi and IAF chief Air Chief Marshal AP Singh. The defence secretary will introduce the General Officer Commanding (GOC), Delhi Area, Lieutenant General Bhavnish Kumar to the PM. The GOC will then conduct the PM to the saluting base where a combined inter-services and Delhi Police guard will present a general salute to Modi, who will inspect the Guard of Honour. Flying Officer Rashika Sharma will assist the PM in hoisting the national flag, the statement said. It will be synchronised with a 21-Gun salute by the gunners of the 1721 Field Battery (Ceremonial). The Air Force band, consisting of one junior commissioned officer and 25 other ranks, will play the national anthem during the hoisting of the flag. For the first time, 11 Agniveer Vayu musicians will be part of the band, it said. 'As soon as the national flag is hoisted by the PM, flower petals will be showered at the venue by two Mi-17 helicopters of the Indian Air Force --- one trooping the national flag and the other a flag depicting 'Operation Sindoor'.' Around 5,000 special guests will witness the celebrations at Red Fort, including the Indian contingent of Special Olympics 2025, winners of international sports events, gold medallists of Khelo India Para Games, best performing farmers trained and financially assisted under different schemes, best performing sarpanches and best performing students among others. Over 1,500 people from various states and Union Territories dressed in traditional attire have also been invited to witness the ceremony.

Soon, single-window system for nod to Ramlila programmes
New Delhi: Delhi govt has decided to set up a single-window system at the district level to handle all permissions and no-objection certificates required for holding Ramlila performances across the city. It has also decided to constitute a special committee to resolve any issue regarding the organisation of the events and ensure that the committees do not face any problem in seeking approvals. The decisions were made at a special meeting held at Raj Niwas under the chairmanship of lieutenant governor Vinay Kumar Saxena. Chief minister Rekha Gupta, office bearers of Delhi Ramlila Federation and senior officials from relevant departments also attended the meeting. Gupta said the single-window system will function under the direct supervision of the office of the respective district magistrate. The committees will be able to seek necessary approvals from the land-owning agency where the event is organised, as well as from the police and fire departments, without running between various departments.

The special committee will comprise a deputy director-level officer from Delhi Development Authority, which rents out the land for such events, and two representatives of Delhi Ramlila Federation to promptly resolve disputes related to rides, food stalls and other operational matters. "The chief minister stated that organisers earlier used to face delays in securing land and challenges in obtaining permissions from departments such as DDA and the horticulture wing of Municipal Corporation of Delhi. She assured that the new system would remove such bottlenecks," said an official. Responding to requests from organisers, CM also agreed to deploy an ambulance at each Ramlila venue. Gupta said the tradition of Ramlila in the city was centuries-old and continues to attract immense public participation. While the event, to be staged from Sept 22 to Oct 2 this year, is hosted at over 600 locations in Delhi, more than 100 of them are organised on a grand scale. "The move will not only preserve our traditions but also promote social unity," CM said, adding that the govt remained committed to supporting and facilitating these vibrant cultural events.
