Hockey Legend's Home To Be Destroyed In Varanasi 'Beautification' Drive
Last Updated: Mohammad Shahid's ancestral home in Varanasi is being demolished for road-widening. Shahid, an Olympic gold medalist, was born there in 1960. His family wants a memorial. Hockey legend and Olympics winner Mohammad Shahid's century-old ancestral home is being demolished in Varanasi under a road-widening and beautification drive. According to The Times of India, the drive is part of a 9.3 km-long four-lane project, which has already claimed around 600 structures. The house was built in 1920. Shahid was born there on April 14, 1960, and was brought up to be one of India's best Hockey players. He was a key member of the team that won Gold at the 1980 Moscow Olympics, the last time that the country won the prize in its national sport. He was honoured with the Arjuna Award in 1980–81 and the Padma Shri, the fourth-highest civilian award in India, in 1986. Shahid died in July 2016 at the age of 56 after battling liver disease. The family has come to terms with the demolition and has been compensated for it, too, but his widow, Parveen, and son, Kaif, said they want the government to build a memorial in Shahid's honor. 'This house has been home to four generations. Even after we shifted in 2015, Shahid would visit daily. It inspired many young hockey players who dreamt of becoming Olympians," Parveen said in the report. 'We support the development work, but after this historic house is gone, a memorial or a square should be established in his name." Kaif said, 'Our ancestral house will be demolished in a couple of days. All we want is for the government should create a memorial in his name." KK Singh, the executive engineer, of the Public Works Department in the holy city said the suggestion is being considered. 'This is a great suggestion. People should know about Kashi and the country's pride. I will discuss this with the district magistrate and the family," he said. Shahid was also part of the teams that won the silver medal in the 1982 Delhi Asian Games and the bronze in the 1986 Seoul Asian Games. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Bailey bridges set to bring year-round connectivity to 14 Gadchiroli villages
Nagpur: From next monsoon onwards, over a dozen villages in Gadchiroli will no longer remain cut off from civilization due to floodwaters, as the government is set to start construction on advanced modular versions of the 'bailey bridge' in two talukas. Since time immemorial, every monsoon has seen over a hundred villages in remote parts of the district get marooned for either days or weeks, bringing life to a complete standstill in the hard-to-access regions. One of the bridges will be built on the Laheri-Hodi-Lashkar road in Bhamragarh at a cost of nearly Rs 20 crore. The second bridge will be built on the Permili–Yermanar–Kodsepalli–Mandra–Damrancha road in Aheri taluka and is slated to cost around Rs 18 crore. Both projects will be handled by the state Public Works Department. Avishyant Panda, district collector of Gadchiroli, said, "The two bailey bridges will be built in Bhamragarh and Aheri talukas. After completion, these bridges will provide year-round connectivity to 14 villages, out of the 112 that get cut off during monsoon-related flooding." Gadchiroli district sees the confluence of three rivers and has a hilly terrain, with road connectivity seeing improvement only in the last decade. District collector Avishyant Panda said that the projects were approved in 2018 by then chief minister Devendra Fadnavis, but were delayed due to design changes, cost escalations, and the need for revised estimates. Panda said, "All approvals have now come, and we expect the construction to be complete before next monsoon." For the people of these far-flung tribal villages, the bridges would mean an end to arduous boat crossings and treks through forested floodplains during the rainy season. The improved connectivity will also boost the delivery of government welfare schemes and encourage economic activity in a region often held back by its difficult terrain. WHAT IS A BAILEY BRIDGE? Bailey bridges are modular, prefabricated truss bridges developed during World War II for quick assembly without the need for heavy equipment. Made of lightweight steel panels that can be bolted together on-site, they are ideal for remote areas or emergencies — a perfect fit for Gadchiroli's challenging monsoon conditions. With the advancement in technology, they are now more sturdy than its WW-2 original version. Stay updated with the latest local news from your city on Times of India (TOI).
