New entrance to Kengeri railway station to ease access and boost commuter safety
A new entrance to the Kengeri railway station is nearing completion, and it is expected to improve accessibility and safety for thousands of daily commuters. It aims to address a long-standing issue as many commuters cross the trolley path to move between the Metro and railway stations, risking their safety in the absence of a proper connecting route. 'The new entry will reduce the travel distance from 1.5 km to 500 metres,' said an official. 'It will offer a seamless pedestrian movement between the two stations. As part of the redevelopment, the station, classified as a Non-Suburban Group-3 category, is getting new amenities, which include a waiting hall, disabled-friendly ramp access, parking facilities covering 1,600 sq metres for two-wheelers and 1,800 sq metres for four-wheelers, and a cafeteria,' the official said. 'The development is part of the broader Amrit Bharat Station Scheme, under which Kengeri station is being revamped at an estimated cost of ₹20 crore,' the official said. Kengeri is one of the most active railway stations on the Bengaluru-Mysuru route, and is a key stop for several express and passenger trains, including the Chamundi Express, Malgudi Express, Vishwamanava Express, the Mysuru–Bengaluru MEMU, and the Chamarajanagar–Tirupati Express. Fifty eight trains halt here daily in both directions, serving around 20,000 passengers every day. 'I travel from Mysuru to Whitefield three times a week. I usually get off at the Kengeri railway station and then switch to the Metro. The new entry will save nearly 15 minutes. Now, I had to hurry and cross the tracks to make it on time. This development is a big relief for commuters like me,' said Varsha N., a software engineer and resident of Mysuru. Pradeep Gowda, a resident of Rajarajeshwari Nagar, said, 'The current detour makes it difficult for senior citizens and those carrying luggage. A proper entry will make a big difference, especially during peak hours.'

Varun Dhawan: One must travel to learn
Mumbai: Actor Varun Dhawan stressed that travel is essential for gaining knowledge and life experience. The actor took to Instagram, where he shared three pictures from the airport. The first was an image of the actor posing inside the airport with the airplane docked. The other was of him at the same location but this time his back was towards the camera as he looked at the aircraft. The third was a closeup image of him as he made his way inside the flight. 'One must travel to learn,' Varun wrote as the caption. A few days ago, Varun wrapped up the Scotland schedule of his upcoming project 'Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai'. Sharing the professional update on social media, Varun penned, "It's a schedule wrap for us here in Scotland on #haijawaanitohishqhonahai. So many days everyone pulling together to make this happen. Bringing u all the laughs soon. Now back home." The post also included some fun moments of the "Badlapur' actor in Scotland with his co-stars Mrunal Thakur, Mouni Roy, Chunkey Panday and Pooja Hegde. The title 'Hain Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hain' is inspired by the song 'Ishq Sona Hai' from 'Biwi No.1." starring Salman Khan, Karisma Kapoor, and Sushmita Sen. The 1999 drama was helmed by David Dhawan, who is also directing Varun's next. "Hai Jawani Toh Ishq Hona Hai" is reported to have the charm of classic 90s rom-coms. Varun also has Shashank Khaitan's 'Sunny Sanskari Ki Tulsi Kumari." Janhvi Kapoor, Sanya Malhotra, Abhinav Sharma, Maniesh Paul, and Manini Chadha are also a part of the project's pivotal cast. Furthermore, Varun also had "Border 2", which is being made under the direction of Anurag Singh. He will be co-starring Sunny Deol, Diljit Dosanjh, and Ahan Shetty in the highly-anticipated sequel.
