MS Dhoni is known for his calm demeanor. He has a huge following on several social media platforms. In addition to being a popular sportsman, Dhoni often appears in a lot of advertisements and endorsements. He also happens to be the brand ambassador for the State Bank of India.

Elevated corridor planned to free up traffic in Sonia Vihar in northeast Delhi
New Delhi: Public Works Department has initiated the process for constructing an elevated corridor spanning 5.5km along Sonia Vihar Pusta Road in northeast Delhi. The department has issued a tender for its feasibility study. Currently, the irrigation and flood control department owns this stretch. The tender seeks a consultant to conduct a comprehensive study for the corridor, which will extend from Nanaksar Gurudwara T-Point to the Delhi-Uttar Pradesh border at Tronica City. Officials have noted that the route handles substantial vehicular movement throughout the day, leading to significant traffic congestion during both peak and non-peak hours and causing inconvenience to both residents and commuters. Building an elevated road is likely to alleviate the congestion problem. The corridor will also improve connectivity between Delhi and the UP border, said a senior official. PWD minister Parvesh Verma conducted a site inspection in April and announced the project. The estimated cost is Rs 500 crore. The central verge's existing space will make it possible to construct an elevated road without significant obstacles, said officials. The right-of-the-way assessment will span six kilometre. The Nanaksar T-junction marks the starting point, where six approach roads connect to Pusta Road via a service road. "There are trees present on both sides of Pusta Road, and there is a Delhi Jal Board pipeline passing underneath. All of this will be part of the feasibility study," the tender stated. The Sonia Vihar treatment plant, operated by DJB, is situated near the proposed alignment. "Widening of Pusta Road on the city side is not feasible because of space constraints. So, an elevated road will be built," the official said. This would bring relief to residents as the demand for an elevated road was long pending. Pillars will be erected on both sides of the road to leave the traffic at the ground level unaffected, he added. The construction of this elevated road will resolve congestion at several bottleneck points. Officials said PWD had been instructed to expedite all necessary procedures to start the work at the earliest. The PWD minister earlier said, "The people of Sonia Vihar have been struggling with severe traffic congestion, making this project essential. However, due to the large number of trees in the area, we have now decided to build an elevated flyover instead." Verma mentioned that he received a request from local MLA Kapil Mishra, following which the project was discussed with chief minister Rekha Gupta and received approval.

Property rates likely to go up in Delhi as CM seeks plan on revision of circle rates
Eyeing a revenue boost, Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta on Saturday issued directions for the revision in circle rates at a high-level meeting where the mismatch with current market prices came into focus, said officials. The Chief Minister directed the Revenue Department to form a committee under the chairmanship of the Divisional Commissioner to prepare a plan on the revision. The property prices in Delhi are expected to go up once the revised rates are implemented. Better infrastructure in the Capital, ease of doing business, unauthorised colonies, housing societies, and modernisation of infrastructure in industrial zones were among the issues discussed at Saturday's high-level meeting. During the meeting, officials said, Gupta highlighted that there are inconsistencies in the current circle rate structure across Delhi that require reassessment, and directed the task force to present a report at the earliest after considering all relevant aspects. The panel will submit a detailed report based on current market conditions and property values, which will then be used as the basis for revising the circle rates. Environment Minister Manjinder Singh Sirsa and senior officials from MCD, DDA, DMRC, registrars of co-operative societies, and representatives from the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) were among the attendees at the meeting. Circle rates, which vary across states and even within areas in a city, are the minimum prices per unit area determined by the government. A property cannot be registered for a price below the circle rate for an area. Depending on factors such as demand and supply, amenities, profile of the neighbourhood, these rates are revised from time to time. In Delhi, the government has divided localities into eight categories based on the floor price — 'A' to 'H'. Upscale localities such as Jorbagh, Vasant Vihar, and Safdarjung Enclave come under category 'A', while the least developed places, mostly located in Outer Delhi, fall in the category 'H'. During the Covid pandemic, the Delhi government relaxed the circle rates by 20%. With the rebate, the circle rate for category 'A' fell from Rs 7.7 lakh to Rs 6.2 lakh per square metre, and in category H, the floor price went down from Rs 23,280 to Rs 18,624 per square metre. In 2022, however, these rebates were withdrawn. At present, the 2014 guidelines are being implemented in Delhi. While the base unit rate of cost of construction (residential use) in category 'A' is Rs 21,960 per square metre, the corresponding value for category 'H' is Rs 3,480. During Saturday's meeting, the CM instructed all civic agencies to take proactive measures for the welfare of unauthorised colonies. She also directed the DDA and Urban Development Department to prepare a comprehensive and detailed report addressing issues related to ownership rights and property registration in these colonies, said officials. The task force also presented a report that included several significant recommendations for the overall development of the city. Some of the key proposals include a standardised development control norms across all agencies and time-bound approvals for large-scale projects, said officials. Officials said that the task force also proposed that slum redevelopment should be encouraged under the public-private partnership (PPP) model, allowing for commercial activities within such projects. 'The task force will work in coordination with various departments and agencies to review existing processes related to entrepreneurs, businesses, and start-ups. It will also evaluate existing policies and submit a report recommending automation and time-bound implementation of reforms,' said Gupta. Further, during the meeting, the CM also discussed the issue of high amalgamation charges for commercial plots and directed the task force to include residential plots under the proposed framework so that an integrated policy can be developed, said officials. She also emphasised the need to make construction-related procedures simple, transparent, and accountable to avoid unnecessary delays in developmental work.

Pochettino on rejecting Pulisic offer for friendlies: 'I am the head coach. I am not a mannequin'
SAN JOSE, Calif. — U.S. coach Mauricio Pochettino said he wouldn't allow Christian Pulisic to dictate which games he would be available for, explaining why he rejected the star's offer to play in a pair of friendlies ahead of the CONCACAF Gold Cup but not the tournament itself. 'I am the head coach. I am not a mannequin,' Pochettino said Saturday, a day ahead of the Americans' opener against Trinidad and Tobago. Pulisic told the U.S. team he was willing to play in the recent games but wanted to skip the tournament to rest after playing about 120 matches over the past two years for AC Milan and the national team. The Americans lost the friendlies, 2-1 to Turkey and 4-0 to Switzerland, and were dealt their first four-game losing streak since 2007. Pulisic told CBS Sports Golzazo he respected Pochettino's decision to exclude him but 'I didn't understand it.' 'Players not need to understand or not understand,' Pochettino said. 'Players need to listen and to stick with our plan. They cannot dictate the plan. Because if not, OK, we invert — we swap the position, no? That is obvious. ... The most important thing is that we explain why we decided not to include in the two friendly games. And then if you have some problems, no, that is not my problem to understand.' Pulisic, 26, is the top American player with 32 goals in 78 international appearances. Pochettino compared Pulisic's situation to that of defender Sergiño Dest, who reported to training camp in Chicago ahead of the friendlies and then was dropped to continue regaining fitness in his recovery from a torn ACL. 'It's up to us after to assess, to analyze if you need rest or not need rest because we have a group of professional performance doctor and athletic coaches in the federation that can assess you,' Pochettino said. The coach said he understood Pulisic's request but wouldn't alter his decision to have one roster for the entire June/July camp. 'Our decision was to go with the players who wanted to play,' Pochettino said. Pochettino rejected Pulisic being labeled the top American player. 'You say the best player. Yes, is a good player, of course, but he needs to perform,' the coach said. 'If he perform well, and he's the best, it is normal he is going to have a place in the national team ... But it's not because ... I want to be, I want to play, I want to do this, I want to do that.' Pochettino said it was possible midfielder Tyer Adams, who has turf toe, could be available Sunday. 'I hope on the end of this journey together we can leave a trophy that's for sure well deserved, first for the players and then for the country and for the fans to recover the belief and recover that good energy and the good feelings,' he said. 'That is important. In one year that we have an amazing opportunity in the World Cup, being a host of the World Cup.' soccer: /hub/soccer
