PM to open Aunta-Simaria six-lane bridge on Aug 22
1 2 Patna: Prime Minister (PM) Narendra Modi will inaugurate the Aunta-Simaria six-lane bridge over the Ganga and a newly constructed four-lane road between Bakhtiyarpur and Mokama during his Bihar visit on Aug 22. As part of his programme, the PM is also scheduled to address a public meeting on the Magadh University campus in Gaya. He is expected to inaugurate and lay the foundation stone for more than 30 development projects worth Rs 1,675 crore. The 8.15-km-long Aunta-Simaria bridge, built at an estimated cost of Rs 1,871 crore, is being described as a symbol of modern infrastructure in Bihar. It connects Aunta Ghat in Mokama with Simaria in Begusarai and runs parallel to the existing Rajendra Setu. Currently, only one lane of the bridge is operational, but from Aug 22, the second lane will also open for traffic. Once fully functional, the bridge is expected to reduce travel time between several districts in north and south Bihar. At present, the Rajendra Setu allows only one-way traffic and heavy vehicles are barred from using it. The PM had announced the project in 2015 as part of a special package for Bihar and laid its foundation stone in 2017. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Could This NEW Collagen Blend Finally Reduce Your Cellulite?

While the Patna-Bakhtiyarpur stretch is already operational, the 44.60-km Bakhtiyarpur-Mokama road, built at a cost of Rs 1,899 crore, will also be inaugurated by the PM. Officials said the new bridge would ease the movement of people from Purnia, Bhagalpur and other districts towards Patna as they will no longer be caught in long traffic jams. The bridge, they said, would also strengthen connectivity between Bihar and the northeastern states with the rest of the country.

CIL pushes ahead with evacuation amid Q1FY26 slowdown in coal demand
Coal India Ltd (CIL) is pressing ahead with its production and evacuation infrastructure plans under its capital expenditure programme for the current fiscal, even as coal demand remained sluggish in the first quarter of FY 2025-26. Independence Day 2025 Modi signals new push for tech independence with local chips Before Trump, British used tariffs to kill Indian textile Bank of Azad Hind: When Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose gave India its own currency The company has earmarked the largest share of Rs 5,622 crore - about 35 per cent of the total proposed Rs 16,000 crore capex in FY26 - for coal transportation and evacuation infrastructure, including rail sidings, corridors, coal handling plants, silos and roads. The investments are critical to ramp up mechanised coal evacuation capacity from the present 151 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) to 994 MTPA by FY 2028-29 under first mile connectivity , an official told PTI. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Secure Your Child's Future with Strong English Fluency Planet Spark Learn More Undo The state-run miner, which accounts for over 75 per cent of domestic coal output , reported a decline in performance in the June quarter, with production falling 3 per cent to 183.32 million tonnes and offtake slipping 4 per cent to 191 million tonnes. Already, there are signs of demand improvement after Coal India carried out various reforms for coal consumers, the official said. Live Events Despite this, CIL said it remains committed to its long-term roadmap of achieving 1 billion tonnes of production by FY 2028-29. "The Indian growth story remains intact and we are positioning ourselves for future energy requirements," the official said. In addition to evacuation infrastructure, the miner continues to invest in land acquisition, heavy earth moving equipment, washeries and renewable projects, aiming to ensure supply reliability while gradually diversifying its portfolio. Meanwhile, CIL has scaled up its renewable energy initiatives , commissioning 114 MW of solar capacity in FY 2024-25. This took its cumulative installed solar capacity to 209.08 MW as of March 2025, as the miner intensifies efforts to achieve 3 GW of solar capacity by FY 2027-28 under its de-carbonisation roadmap.

H-1B visa hiring gap revealed: Why top US tech giants favour immigrants over citizens
For many US students, a degree in STEM, whether in computer science, artificial intelligence, or data analytics, is considered a golden ticket to the top of the tech world. Universities spend millions on cutting-edge labs, top faculty, and internship programs to ensure graduates are 'job-ready. ' But recent revelations about H-1B visa hiring practices suggest that even well-prepared American graduates are often missing out on key opportunities at leading tech firms. Hidden recruitment channels give immigrants an edge Tech companies sponsoring foreign workers for green cards are legally required to post positions publicly. However, reports indicate that some firms structure postings in ways that effectively funnel applications to H-1B visa holders. Jobs may be routed to 'global mobility' or 'immigration' departments, bypassing standard recruitment channels like LinkedIn, Indeed, or company career pages. For example, a director-level posting at Udemy reportedly asked candidates to apply via 'immigration@ while similar roles at OpenAI and Instacart have followed comparable practices. While technically compliant with regulatory requirements, this approach reduces the visibility of openings for US-born applicants. Many American students may never even be aware that these roles exist, let alone have a fair chance to compete. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Could This NEW Collagen Blend Finally Reduce Your Cellulite? Vitauthority Learn More Undo The education-opportunity mismatch This creates a growing disconnect between what students are trained for and the jobs they can realistically access. American universities invest heavily in STEM education, equipping students with skills that are supposed to prepare them for the most advanced and competitive roles in tech. Yet the practical reality shows a different story: some of the most coveted positions are effectively 'hidden' behind visa-specific application channels. Students may graduate with degrees in AI, cloud computing, or data science, only to find that roles requiring these very skills are disproportionately directed toward international applicants. This mismatch undermines the promise of STEM education and raises questions about how well universities are preparing graduates for the real job market. International students are often better positioned Ironically, international students sometimes have a natural advantage. They are more likely to understand the H-1B visa process, global mobility offices, and immigration-driven recruitment pathways. Many arrive on campus already aware of these channels, or they learn about them through peer networks and advisors. As a result, international graduates, even those who studied in the US, can navigate hidden recruitment paths more successfully than American-born peers. The effect is striking: in roles where skill levels may be similar, visa-aware applicants are often the ones securing the positions. Why transparency and guidance matter These hiring practices have broad implications. Universities, career advisors, and policymakers need to confront the reality that top STEM jobs may not always be accessible in ways students expect. Greater transparency from employers, better guidance from universities, and awareness of H-1B recruitment channels can help domestic talent compete fairly. It also raises questions about fairness and equity in the tech sector. Should access to high-level roles depend on knowledge of visa processes rather than purely on skill and merit? How can universities ensure that students' years of preparation translate into real opportunities? Navigating the system: what students can do Despite these challenges, the tech sector remains full of opportunities. Awareness is key. Students should: Learn about H-1B visa pathways and global mobility offices. Research which companies favour certain application channels and adjust their job searches accordingly. Seek guidance from career offices about hidden or specialised application routes. Network with alumni and peers who have successfully navigated visa-sponsored roles . Understanding these unspoken rules can make the difference between landing a top tech job and missing out, even with a strong academic record. Ready to navigate global policies?
