Harsuhinder Pal Singh Brar, director of school education, said, "We have finalised the requisition. The advertisement will be issued within this month. The need for recruitment has been long-pending. Having completed the regular recruitment process, we are now in a position to move ahead and complete the Samagra Siksha recruitments."

500m long, 27m wide: New bridge on Sukhna Choe to beat the blues
1 2 Chandigarh: The city's third high-level bridge on the Sukhna Choe near Shastri Nagar, connecting Manimajra to Sector 26, will be 500 metre long and 27 metre wide. It will be four-laned, with 5m wide pedestrian pathways and dedicated cycle tracks as part of the bridge. The bridge will start on one side from near the T-junction, Sector 26, and on the other side near Shastri Nagar. The level of the bridge will be integrated with the adjacent roads to achieve the intent for which the bridge was constructed. Part of the project is the plan to upgrade the T-junction, which currently has a traffic light point. "The T-junction will be raised by 2 metres for smooth movement of traffic. A slip road will also be constructed towards the Transport Chowk side. A free lane will be provided for traffic coming from the Sector 26 side towards the Manimajra side," said a UT official. The existing bridge over the Sukhna Choe is at a lower level, a causeway, and often gets inundated during monsoons, making the road unsafe and inaccessible. This gravely impacts traffic movement. The bridge carries a very heavy traffic load. It is the main route to the Punjab and Haryana high court, Haryana Secretariat, Sukhna Lake, and other parts of the northern sectors for traffic coming from Panchkula, Manimajra, IT Park, and other locations, including inter-state traffic. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Here are the signs of Magnesium deficiency Undo It is also one of the major links to the city for traffic coming from Panchkula. Originally, there was only a single road, but with the traffic pressure increasing on the stretch over the years, it is now a six-lane road with cycle tracks on both sides. The proposal for a high-level bridge on Sukhna Choe at this site was first proposed in the Chandigarh Master Plan (CMP-2031). The urgency to implement the CMP proposal came after major traffic disruptions caused by flooding in recent years and the increasing incidence of traffic snarls. During the monsoon of 2023, after waters from the Sukhna Lake were released into the Sukhna Choe, the culvert was flooded, and the fast-moving water caused major damage to it. This resulted in traffic being closed on the route for several days. The administration started planning the upgradation of the existing connectivity over the Sukhna Choe near Bapu Dham Colony. The UT engineering department was directed to undertake a feasibility study of the location. Under the study, the volume of traffic and its pattern were examined, and a consultant was hired to plan the bridge. The project was recently "conceptually" approved by the subcommittee of the Chandigarh Heritage Conservation Committee. Stay updated with the latest local news from your city on Times of India (TOI).

Ancient idols found during restoration work at Hindu shrine in J&K's Anantnag
Ancient Hindu idols have been recovered during excavation work for a renovation project at a Hindu religious site in Anantnag district of Jammu and Kashmir. Officials with the ancient idols discovered during excavation at a shrine in Anantnag district of J&K on Saturday, August 2.(PTI) These idols and 'shivlings' could date back over 2,000 years, since the site where these have been found — Karkoot Nag (or Karkut Nag) in the Salia area of Aishmuqam town — is commonly associated by the Kashmiri Pandits with the Karkoota dynasty, which is said to have ruled Kashmir from 625 to 855 CE/BC. It is about 16 km from the district headquarters. A local news channel said 15 ancient idols, including 11 Shivlings, were discovered at the site, which has historical religious remains. A damaged sculpture depicting many deities — part of the discoveries — is believed to be part of an ancient temple pillar, which once stood at the place, a local daily reported. The UT's public works department was undertaking restoration work for a spring there, as part of a broader project of the UT government, when labourers found these items during excavation, PTI reported. Officials from the department of archives, archaeology and museums then visited the site. The idols will be sent to Srinagar for material and dating tests to determine their age and origin, officials told the news agency. Research scholars will also be engaged in the study after the idols are shifted to Shri Pratap Singh Museum in Srinagar. A local, unnamed Kashmiri Pandit was quoted by PTI as saying, 'There is a probability that a temple might have been there or someone might have kept them there for preservation.' Local community leaders present there reportedly called for a need to construct a temple 'to restore the glory of the shrine'.
