Mumbai Metro-4 Trial Runs From September, Coastal Route In Works: Thane Awaits Traffic Respite
Authorities have confirmed that trial runs for Mumbai Metro-4 will begin in September, with full operations expected to start by the end of this year Thane is witnessing rapid development with several infrastructure projects taking shape. Among them, the Wadala-Ghatkopar-Kasarvadavali Metro Line 4 is moving forward at a steady pace. Authorities have confirmed that trial runs for the metro will begin in September, with full operations expected to start by the end of this year. Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde expressed confidence that the long-awaited metro will finally become a reality for Thane residents. He said the upcoming network, which will connect Wadala, Thane, Mira-Bhayander, and Mumbai, will be complemented by an internal metro route within Thane. This, he assured, will play a major role in reducing the city's chronic traffic congestion. Traffic jams have become a daily frustration for Thane's citizens. Ongoing roadworks, construction activity, and the city's growing population have pushed traffic movement to a crawl in several areas. Commuters often spend long hours in transit, with peak-hour gridlocks affecting both local and intercity travel. Officials believe that once the metro begins operations, the shift from road to rail will ease the pressure on Thane's overburdened streets. In addition to the metro, a new coastal route is also in the works. The proposed road will connect Thane directly to the coastline, running from Saket Creek to Ghodbunder Road via Gaimukh and Fountain. It will link with the Mumbai-Ahmedabad Highway, creating an alternative corridor for vehicles that currently pass through Thane's crowded streets. According to Shinde, this diversion will help channel non-local traffic away from the city and free up space for local commuters. The combination of the metro network and the coastal route is expected to significantly improve connectivity within the Mumbai Metropolitan Region. For Thane, these projects represent not just convenience but also a relief from the constant noise, pollution, and delays caused by the current traffic chaos. With the trial run of the metro now just weeks away, residents are hopeful that years of waiting and enduring road congestion will finally pay off. The success of these projects, however, will depend on timely completion, efficient operation, and proper integration with other modes of transport. As the countdown to the September trial run begins, the city is looking forward to a future where travel is faster, smoother, and far less stressful. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Tips And Tricks: Desi Hack To Clean Rusty Iron Kadhai In Just 1 Minute
A simple alum trick can clean rust and black stains from iron woks in just a minute, making them shine again without costly cleaners or hours of scrubbing The humble iron kadhai (wok) is an essential part of Indian kitchens. Whether for cooking vegetables, dal, or other dishes, food made in an iron kadhai is not only delicious but also packed with health benefits. However, the real challenge begins when the wok gathers rust or stubborn black residue. At times, the rust is so tough that even after hours of scrubbing, it refuses to come off, leaving your hands sore and your patience tested. But here's a simple desi method that can make your kadhai sparkle in just a minute, without the need for expensive cleaners or exhausting scrubbing. All you need is one simple white ingredient, along with a few household items. The star of this cleaning method is a piece of alum. Along with alum, you will need water, detergent powder, dishwashing liquid, and a steel scrubber or old scrub pad. Steps To Clean The Kadhai Place the kadhai on the stove and pour in one cup of water. While the water heats, grind a piece of alum into a fine powder, about one teaspoon. Add the alum powder to the hot water. Stir in one teaspoon of detergent powder and let it boil for 3-4 minutes. Foam will begin to form. Using a spoon, spread this foamy water over the edges so the entire kadhai is soaked, allowing the rust and grime to loosen. Turn off the stove and let the wok cool slightly. Transfer the alum water to a bowl and lightly scrub the kadhai with a steel scrubber. Wipe it dry with a clean cloth, then rub a thin layer of mustard oil on the surface to prevent future rusting. Why Alum Works When dissolved in water, alum forms a mild acidic solution that breaks down the outer layer of rust and black residue on iron. It also cuts through the greasy residue from oil, spices, and food particles, making cleaning quick and effortless. Benefits of This Method The kadhai shines in just one minute. No need for hours of hard scrubbing. Removes both rust and black residue effectively. 100% homemade, inexpensive, and chemical-free.

McDonald's Former Employee Shares 'Incredible' Menu Hack You Never Noticed
Last Updated: This former McDonald's employee shared invaluable tips to customers of the fast-food giant based on his experience of working at one of the outlets for over a year. A former McDonald's employee has revealed a secret menu hack along with invaluable tips that even longtime customers might not know. Jamie Calder, who worked at the fast-food giant for over a year, shared details of an 'incredible" off-menu item and offered advice on the best way to approach McDonald's staff during busy shifts. During his time at McDonald's, the former employee discovered that the seasoning used on the chain's burger patties can also elevate the flavour of other menu items. 'The seasoning for the burger patties is incredible on nuggets or Chicken Selects," Calder told NeedToKnow. According to Calder, another useful hack is to check the McDonald's app before ordering your favourite items. The app features the chain's full range of vegetarian and non-vegetarian options and can help save both time and money. 'And if you order on the app to collect, you can usually save some time as they'll start preparing your order before you get to the restaurant (as long as you check in when nearby," he said. Calder also shared some unspoken rules for customers to avoid 'irritating" McDonald's staff. Having dealt with thousands of customers during his time at the company, he suggested visitors not create a hassle about fries. 'My biggest pet peeve is someone ordering 'no salt' fries (just to get fresh ones)," he said. '[We'll be] in a rhythm of stacking fries and then have to wipe all the salt off the fry station and fry a new portion just for a customer who is [probably] going to dump two packs of salt on them as soon as you hand them. It ruins the flow and slows down the process." Another pet peeve of the McDonald's staff, according to Calder, is the 'havoc" created by kids and young customers at the fast food giant's outlets. 'The worst 'customers' are the school-age kids who cause havoc in the dining area. Spraying water guns at customers and tossing tubs of sauce everywhere," Calder explained. 'The worst [experience I've had] was when someone blocked the bathroom sink with a plastic bag and flooded the bathroom." view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
