Live Events According to news agency ANI, the Defence Ministry will soon review a proposal to procure three QRSAM regiments for Army Air Defence, intended for deployment along the western and northern borders.

BMC assigns deputy engineers in 227 wards to rid the city of potholes
Mumbai: In a decisive move towards pothole-free roads, the BMC has assigned deputy engineers across its 227 wards to conduct daily inspection of their respective area to proactively identify and fill potholes before they grow larger and complaints are filed. 'The objective is clear: pothole-free roads for Mumbai's citizens. Any evidence of road degradation will be met with stringent action,' said civic chief administrator Bhushan Gagrani, during a key strategy meeting at the BMC headquarters held on June 9 with officials from the roads and traffic department, including additional municipal commissioner (projects) Abhijit Bangar. Bangar said that the pothole-repair contractors had already been appointed, and added that each deputy engineer would be responsible for maintaining 10 km to 15 km of roads. He said, 'Monitoring from the office is not acceptable,' and added that engineers should monitor the roads in a hands-on manner, ideally inspecting them every other day using two-wheelers in vulnerable stretches. Bangar said that deputy engineers needed to be vigilant and take swift action, particularly in areas prone to heavy rains. He highlighted the BMC's ongoing road concretisation efforts that have reduced the frequency and severity of potholes in recent years, and significantly brought down repair expenditures between 2023 and 2025. According to Bangar, pothole repairs should not wait until public complaints arise. He said that engineers must identify issues proactively, and prioritise weekend repairs when traffic is lighter, to ensure a smoother commute at the start of the work week. To ensure uniformity and durability in repairs, specific guidelines have been issued: potholes must be filled in a square shape to ensure a smooth finish; on roads more than six meters wide, cold mix materials are prohibited because they are not long term solutions; only mastic asphalt is to be used. In some locations, geo-polymer concrete, a more lasting solution, may serve as a viable alternative. Mastic cookers must be maintained in ready-to-use condition at the divisional level, and every contractor must have their own mastic production setup to avoid supply delays. In addition, a detailed weekly plan must be in place to confirm which mastic projects will remain operational over weekends. Assistant engineers are to coordinate with deputy engineers to ensure appropriate deployment of mastic cookers and vehicles. As per the guidelines, all mastic cooker vehicles must be equipped with Global Positioning System (GPS) devices that can be tracked via the Vehicle Tracking System (VTS). Bangar said that vehicles without the GPS systems will not be paid for any pothole work done by them.

Delhi's e-rickshaw crisis: Numbering over 1.2L, why they should be city's last option for last-mile connect?
Representative AI image NEW DELHI: E-rickshaws are not a menace only the roads. They are also proving hazardous when parked or when their batteries are being recharged. Incidents related to charging are on the rise. In one incident reported last month, two people died after a fire broke out at a charging station in Shahdara. In another, a woman died and five people were injured when charging triggered a blaze in Farsh Bazar. While officially Delhi is estimated to have around 1.2 lakh registered e-rickshaws, the actual number that are operating could well be double the figure. Experts have serious concerns about safety and regulatory gaps in the e-rickshaw sector, particularly about the hazardous conditions of charging stations due to poor maintenance. Anil Chhikara, transport and vehicle expert, said some e-rickshaw drivers and owners have been observed to remove the original batteries and replace them with cheaper lead-acid batteries. "The latter batteries, when overcharged, can leak sulfuric acid — a highly corrosive substance that can cause severe burns or damage materials and people nearby," he said. The expert called for a thorough review and revision of the existing policies and regulations governing e-rickshaws, pointing out that in many cases, the charging points for e-rickshaws were neither secure nor compliant with safety standards. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Free Solitaire. No Ads Ever. Play Solitaire Download Undo "There have been numerous instances when charging stations were found to be operating illegally, without any regulatory oversight or adherence to basic safety protocols," claimed Chhikara. The lack of dedicated charging stations in the city has also contributed to the increase in fires related to charging. SP Singh, vehicle expert, rued there were no concrete policies governing e-rickshaws, the first electric vehicles launched in the country. "There are proper charging stations for other electric vehicles, but not for e-rickshaws," noted Singh. "The places where these three-wheelers charge are not meant for that purpose and do not comply with safety standards. E-rickshaws get charged in large numbers at locations that have no awareness of or adherence to safety regulations." Singh also pointed out e-rickshaw drivers do not receive any training on safe charging practices or the precautions they should take while charging. "Delhi govt must establish separate fast charging stations across the city for e-rickshaws," he said. Lack of quality control in the e-rickshaw sector is also a major problem. Balraj Bhanot, former director, ARAI, and chairman, Transport Engineering Divisional Council, Bureau of Indian Standards, highlighted significant challenges faced by the e-vehicle manufacturing industry, particularly with regard to three-wheeler e-rickshaws. He noted that the industry was fragmented and decentralised across the country to meet local demands and often operated without adequate quality control. Firefighters said that when charging was carried out in residential buildings, the threat of accidents was higher. Atul Garg, director, Delhi Fire Service, reiterated that charging stations located in residential buildings always faced a significant risk of short circuits. He attributed the risks to use of poor-quality electrical equipment, improper or outdated wiring and overloading of the electricity setup. E-rickshaws have rapidly gained a notoriety for being unruly and reckless on the streets, frequently violating traffic rules and disrupting the smooth flow of traffic by clogging roads. Last year, Delhi Traffic Police recorded an increase of 47% in bookings related to violation of road laws by e-rickshaws. The number of offences rose sharply from 2,08,130 cases in 2023 to 3,05,959 in 2024. To curb the growth of illegal e-rickshaws, Delhi govt's transport department decided last year to scrap impounded and unregistered e-rickshaws within seven days if their owners did not apply for registration. The process previously allowed a leeway of 90 days for compliance.
