World on brink of third World War, warns Nitin Gadkari amid global conflicts
'Due to the increasing technology of war, the dimensions of war have changed, and the use of missiles and drones has increased in the war, due to which the relevance of tanks and other types of aircraft is decreasing. Amidst all this, it has become difficult to protect humanity. Missiles are often fired at civilian settlements,' Gadkari said.Gadkari also cautioned that although it may be uncomfortable to say, the current trajectory of international affairs appears to be moving 'slowly towards destruction.''This has created a serious problem, and all these issues need to be discussed at the global level. It would not be right to say this, but this path is slowly moving towards destruction,' he added.- EndsTune InMust Watch

Citizens Flood Gadkari's Janata Darbar with Drainage, Safety, and Infra Complaints
1 2 3 Nagpur: Overflowing drains, waterlogged roads, and civic neglect dominated the complaints brought by citizens to Union minister Nitin Gadkari during his Janata Darbar on Sunday. With the city reeling under monsoon-related issues, residents from across Nagpur raised concerns about drainage failures, poor sanitation, unsafe streets, and pending infrastructure projects. Ravindra Borkar, principal of a private school on Nari Road, appeared with 12 staff members to highlight the condition of a damaged sewer line running alongside the school premises. The broken line has caused gutter water to flood the school's playground daily, making it unusable. "Students have fallen sick repeatedly, and parents are pulling their children out," Borkar said, stressing that the issue has existed for years without any corrective action. He urged Gadkari to direct officials to reconstruct the line at the earliest to restore safety and sanitation. In Old Dnyaneshwari Nagar near Manewada Road, Vijay Phule pointed out a larger-than-road nullah adjacent to residential areas. "Even animals fall in. When it rains, water flows into our homes," he said. Phule claimed residents had been running from one municipal department to another for a year with no result. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Providers are furious: Internet access without a subscription!

Jaiprakash Nagar senior citizen Sudha Kesarwani, 72, urged the administration to adopt an 'Indore-like' cleanliness model. She highlighted garbage around Sonegaon Lake, which is removed only weekly, and complained about waste dumping spots near the water body. Kesarwani also raised safety concerns, citing non-functional street lights and missing CCTV cameras. "We've complained several times, but nothing changes," she said. Residents from Shri Nagar, including Ved Patrikar, spoke of basic civic neglect. He said drain cleaning, garbage collection, and street sweeping have been irregular for weeks. "Mosquitoes are everywhere, and complaints to the NMC go unanswered," Patrikar said. Indiramata Nagar residents, whose homes are located near the Pili river, reported rainwater flooding their houses. They demanded financial aid under housing schemes to build pucca houses and asked for improved drainage systems to prevent recurrence. From Hinganghat, Waim Misar Khan and a group of seven artisans sought the regularisation of their land in Shashtri Ward. The community, which has been living there for over three decades, has no access to civic amenities due to lack of registration with the Nagar Parishad. Gadkari assured all complainants that their issues would be forwarded to the concerned departments for urgent action.

'Not Intimated Earlier': Siddaramaiah Wants Bridge Inauguration Postponed
Bengaluru: Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah on Sunday urged Union Minister for Road Transport & Highways Nitin Gadkari to postpone the inauguration of Sigandur bridge and the foundation stone laying ceremony of infrastructure projects at Sagara taluk in Shivamogga on July 14, stating that he was not "intimated" in advance. Citing his scheduled visit to Indi taluk in Vijayapura district, the Chief Minister in a letter to Mr Gadkari said, it would have been more appropriate for MoRTH to have consulted with the state government before scheduling such a programme, and requested him to instruct the officials in this regard. "It has come to my notice that the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways along with National Highway Authority of India is organising "Dedication to Nation and Foundation Stone Laying Ceremony" Programme on 14th of July, 2025 in Nehru Field, Sagara Taluk, Shivamogga District, and my name has also been printed in the draft invitation card. However, I have not been intimated about this programme in advance," Siddaramaiah said in his letter. Noting that an inauguration programme of various developmental schemes is already scheduled under his Chairmanship in Indi taluka of Vijayapura district on the same day, he said it would have been more appropriate for MoRTH to have consulted with the state government before scheduling the state-level programmes. "Therefore, I request you to instruct the department to coordinate with the state government while organising such programmes. Also, I request you to postpone this programme and provide me with a couple of dates convenient to you, so that I would be able to join you in this significant state-level programme," he added. Mr Gadkari is scheduled to inaugurate "Sigandur Bridge", which is said to be India's second-longest cable-stayed bridge between Ambaragodlu-Kalasavalli in Sagara taluk on Monday. The bridge has been built at a cost of Rs 473 crore and is 2.44 km long, official sources said. Earlier in the day, Shivamogga district in-charge Minister Madhu Bangarappa told reporters, "I have not got an invitation officially, there is some confusion. I feel that the Chief Minister has been disrespected by the central government...." Sagara Congress MLA Belur Gopalakrishna said he too has not got any invitation and has no information. He also hit out at Shivamogga BJP MP BY Raghavendra for making it a party event.
