Critising the previous state government, CM Yogi Adityanath said that the work of the Agra-Lucknow Expressway was half done, but during his tenure, projects related to six expressways in the state have been completed.
"The work on the Agra Lucknow Expressway was half done. Today, I am happy to tell you that we have completed six projects. You are witnessing the journey of the Purvanchal Expressway. We have been continuously building it since 2021.
In 2022, the Bundelkhand Expressway was started. It is 300 km long. The 340 km long Purvanchal Expressway has already been completed, and its connectivity to Patna is about to be completed.
Now remember how easy the connectivity from Patna to Lucknow and Lucknow to Delhi will become", CM Yogi said.
He stated that the 340 km-long Purvanchal Expressway is about to extend its connectivity to Patna. He called freedom fighter Veer Kunwar Singh and said that if the Purvanchal Expressway had been built in 1857, India would have become independent at that time.
"When Veer Kunwar Singh, the hero of the first war of independence in 1857, fought the British till Azamgarh to defeat them, there was no connectivity. If this Purvanchal Expressway had been there at that time, the people of Azamgarh would have beaten the British along with Veer Kunwar Singh, and then this country would have become independent in 1857 itself. There was no connectivity at that time", he added.

Before & after: Satellite images show damage caused to Iran's Fordow, Isfahan, Natanz nuclear sites after US strike; see pics

US strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities New satellite imagery has revealed significant damage to Iran's key nuclear facilities following Saturday's US strikes. Iran has warned of consequences while maintaining a measured initial response. Satellite photos from Maxar Technologies show multiple impact sites at the Fordow nuclear facility, including new craters, potentially collapsed tunnel entrances, and holes along a mountain ridge. While a large support building used for ventilation control remained intact, the status of the underground uranium enrichment centrifuges remains unconfirmed. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) reported no radiation releases from the site. At Natanz, another critical nuclear site, imagery revealed a new 5.5-meter (18-foot) diameter crater directly above part of the underground enrichment facility. However, the images don't conclusively show whether the strikes penetrated the heavily fortified facility, which lies 40 meters underground and is protected by an 8-meter thick concrete and steel shell. Fordow Nuclear facility Fordow, situated approximately 100 kilometers southwest of Tehran, is a heavily fortified uranium enrichment facility built deep within a mountain. 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 Its existence remained secret until Western intelligence uncovered it in 2009. Though smaller than Natanz, Fordow's mountain protection and anti-aircraft systems make it an exceptionally challenging military target. The facility houses sophisticated centrifuges for uranium enrichment. Its deep underground location means that only specialised weapons, specifically the US-made GBU-57 "bunker buster" bombs, could potentially penetrate its defences. These 30,000-pound bombs can only be delivered by American B-2 Spirit stealth bombers, making any serious attack on Fordow virtually impossible without direct US military involvement. Natanz Nuclear Facility Natanz, located 220 kilometers southeast of Tehran, serves as Iran's primary uranium enrichment centre. The facility has been a frequent target of Israeli military operations and has experienced significant damage both above and below ground. According to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Natanz had achieved uranium enrichment levels of 60% purity, approaching weapons-grade material. The facility has suffered multiple setbacks, including damage from Israeli airstrikes and the notorious Stuxnet cyberattack, believed to be a joint US-Israeli operation. In response to these vulnerabilities, Iran began constructing new sections deeper underground near Kuh-e Kolang Gaz La (Pickax Mountain) to better protect its operations. Despite the attacks, the IAEA has confirmed that radioactive contamination has remained contained within the facility. Isfahan Nuclear Technology Center The Isfahan facility, positioned 350 kilometers southeast of Tehran, functions as Iran's principal nuclear research facility. This expansive complex employs thousands of scientists and features three Chinese-supplied research reactors. The site includes essential laboratories and a uranium conversion facility, crucial for the initial stages of nuclear fuel production. While the facility has been targeted by Israeli strikes, particularly the conversion plant, the IAEA has verified that these attacks have not resulted in any radiation leakage or elevated radiation levels in the surrounding areas.

UK eyes more high skilled Indian professionals through Global Talent visa

The United Kingdom is looking to deepen its scientific and academic relationship with India by inviting more high-skilled professionals through its Global Talent visa scheme, British Science Minister Lord Patrick Vallance said on June 20, while speaking at the 'Unlocking UK-India Collaboration for a New Era of Innovation' session at the India Global Forum in London, Vallance said India's growing strength in science and technology offers strong potential for bilateral cooperation. 'There is already a strong relationship between India and the UK, and I think it's growing,' Vallance said. 'But government-to-government relationships on science aren't actually what drives everything. It has to be a scientist and a scientist as well.' The UK government plans to announce a new Industrial Strategy in the coming weeks, which will outline key international partnerships, including India, with a focus on science, innovation, and skilled mobility. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like These Companies Are Overcharging You For Florida Auto Insurance Smart Lifestyle Trends Learn More Undo Global talent visa in focus (Join our ETNRI WhatsApp channel for all the latest updates) The UK's Global Talent visa aims to attract top-tier individuals from around the world who have demonstrated leadership—or the potential for it—in academia, research, arts, culture, or technology.

Candidates can apply for the visa through the UK Home Office . The endorsement stage generally takes 4 to 8 weeks for a decision. After receiving endorsement, applicants must submit a visa application to UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI). The standard visa processing time is around 3 weeks when applying from outside the UK. Applicants are required to pay an endorsement fee of £524 and a visa application fee of £192. Additionally, the immigration health surcharge is £624 per year. The visa is typically granted for up to 5 years and is extendable, with eligibility for permanent settlement after 3 to 5 years depending on the endorsement type. To bring flexibility and international expertise into the UK, the visa supports long-term settlement: individuals recognised as established leaders may qualify for indefinite leave after three years, while those with emerging promise have a five-year path to settlement. Family members can also be included in this program.

Andhra Pradesh accident: RTC bus enroute Visakhapatnam collides with lorry on national highway, 8 injured

Representative Image NEW DELHI: An RTC bus en route to Visakhapatnam from Narsipatnam met with an accident near Bayyavaram in Andhra Pradesh on the national highway. The bus collided with a lorry in front of it, resulting in injuries to eight people, including the driver. Inspector Swamy Naidu of Kasimkota confirmed that eight individuals sustained injuries when the lorry collided with the bus. The injured persons were transported to a local government hospital for medical care. Additional information is pending. In a separate incident last month, eight devotees lost their lives when a 20-foot section gave way at the Sri Varahalakshmi Narasimha Swamy temple in Visakhapatnam during the Chandanotsavam celebrations. Relatives of the victims were seen grieving outside Visakhapatnam's King George Hospital following the accident. Jogarao, a relative of Uma Maheswarao's family, explained that a recently built wall had claimed four lives from one family. The deceased couple had been employed as IT technicians. "A wall was recently constructed, and four lives of a family were lost due to the wall.

The Government should announce one crore ex gratia and one government job to family members. Without announcing it, we wouldn't allow to perform postmortems on the deceased bodies", he said. Another family member expressed their demand for a thorough investigation and called for government action against officials responsible for the substandard wall construction. "We need justice for losing our family members. The government should take action against the officers involved in the poor construction of the wall. Four members of my family lost their lives at the same time. Who will take responsibility for our family? The government should give one government and ex gratia to us", the family member said.
