Noida: The six-lane
Bhangel Elevated Road
, linking Agahpur with NSEZ on the Dadri-Surajpur-Chhalera (DSC) Road, is set for completion by July, nearly 30 months late from its original deadline. The road is among the several infrastructure projects that seek to slash travel time between Noida and Greater Noida as flight operations start from the
Noida International Airport
later this year.
With 30 flights, including international routes to Singapore, Zurich, and Dubai, the airport is initially expected to serve 50 lakh passengers annually, which will significantly increase pressure on the Noida and Yamuna expressways. Currently, Noida is planning a six-lane, elevated expressway between Okhla barrage near Kalindi Kunj and Yamuna Expressway via the Hindon-Yamuna doab to offer direct connectivity to commuters travelling from Delhi and Faridabad to Jewar.

The last leg of the work, to lay deck slabs on girders, is expected to take another month, he said.Envisaged in 2013, the elevated road project was launched in June 2020 with a budget of Rs 468 crore and was to be ready by Dec 2022. After missing several deadlines over design changes and a fund shortage, the 5.5km elevated road is being completed at a cost of Rs 608 crore.

The building will centralise all administrative departments, currently operating out of the Authority's Sector 6 office and other locations.Administrative departments on the new premises will be on the sixth floor, the chairman's office and a conference hall on the top floor, and a public-meeting wing on the first floor, officials said.Conceived in 2009, the construction of the Rs 478-crore building with two multi-storey towers officially began on Jan 5, 2016, and was to be ready in the next three years.
Noida Authority blacklisted the contractor in 2022 over substandard work and a delay of 451 days. A new firm took over the construction in Oct that year with a revised target of Jan 2024. After a structural audit by IIT-Delhi in 2023 identified serious flaws in pillar positioning and overall stability, corrective measures had to be implemented. The Authority has since revised the deadline multiple times."Completion of these two projects will to improve traffic flow and streamline civic services significantly," Noida Authority CEO Lokesh M said.

Trump's travel ban comes into effect, citizens from 12 countries barred from entering the US
US President Donald Trump 's order banning citizens of 12 nations from entering the United States has come into effect on Monday. The countries affected by the travel ban are Afghanistan, Myanmar, Chad, Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Eritrea, Haiti, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan and Yemen. The move is expected to disrupt refugee pathways and further restrict immigration as the Trump administration expands its crackdown on illegal entries. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Winchester: What Is Your Home Worth? Take a Look! Smartfinancetips Learn More Undo In announcing his restrictions last week, Trump said the new measure was spurred by a recent "terrorist attack" on Jews in Colorado. The group had been protesting in solidarity with hostages held in Gaza when they were assaulted by a man the White House said had overstayed his visa. Live Events That attack, Trump said, "underscored the extreme dangers posed to our country by the entry of foreign nationals who are not properly vetted" or who overstay their visas. The president calls the move as protecting the country from "foreign terrorists." The entry of people from seven other countries, including Burundi, Cuba, Laos, Sierra Leone, Togo, Turkmenistan and Venezuela has been partially restricted. Trump said the countries that face the ban were harbouring a "large-scale presence of terrorists," fail to cooperate on visa security, have an inability to verify travelers' identities, and have an inadequate record-keeping of criminal histories. He added that citizens of these countries also have a high rate of visa overstays in the US. The travel ban is a part of the president's attempts to restrict immigration into the US. However, the ban will not apply to athletes competing in the 2026 FIFA World Cup, which the United States is co-hosting with Canada and Mexico, or in the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics. It will not apply to diplomats from the targeted countries either.

Trump travel ban in effect, citizens from 12 nations barred from US
Washington, Jun 09, 2025 -President Donald Trump 's sweeping new travel ban came into effect early Monday immediately after midnight, barring citizens from a dozen nations from entering the United States and reviving a divisive measure from his first term. The move is expected to disrupt refugee pathways and further restrict immigration as the Trump administration expands its crackdown on illegal entries. Many of the nations covered by the restrictions have adversarial relations with the United States, such as Iran and Afghanistan, while others face severe crises, like Haiti and Libya. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Mix 4 Kitchen Ingredients, Wake Up Thinner Every Morning Vinegar Health Learn More Undo In announcing his restrictions last week, Trump said the new measure was spurred by a recent "terrorist attack" on Jews in Colorado.

Trump also imposed a partial ban on travelers from Burundi, Cuba, Laos, Sierra Leone, Togo, Turkmenistan and Venezuela. Some temporary work visas from those countries will be allowed. New countries could be added, Trump warned, "as threats emerge around the world." Mehria, a 23-year-old woman from Afghanistan who applied for refugee status, said the new rules have trapped her and many other Afghans in uncertainty. "We gave up thousands of hopes and our entire lives... on a promise from America, but today we are suffering one hell after another," she told AFP. World Cup, Olympics, diplomats excluded The ban will not apply to athletes competing in the 2026 World Cup, which the United States is co-hosting with Canada and Mexico, or in the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics, Trump 's order said. Nor will it apply to diplomats from the targeted countries. United Nations rights chief Volker Turk warned that "the broad and sweeping nature of the new travel ban raises concerns from the perspective of international law." US Democratic lawmakers and elected officials blasted the ban as draconian and unconstitutional. "I know the pain that Trump's cruel and xenophobic travel bans inflict because my family has felt it firsthand," congresswoman Yassamin Ansari, who is Iranian-American, posted Sunday on X. "We will fight this ban with everything we have." Rumors of a new travel ban had circulated following the Colorado attack, with Trump's administration vowing to pursue "terrorists" living in the United States on visas. US officials said suspect Mohamed Sabry Soliman, an Egyptian national according to court documents, was in the country illegally having overstayed a tourist visa, but that he had applied for asylum in September 2022. Trump's new travel ban notably does not include Egypt. His proclamation said Taliban-ruled Afghanistan and war-torn Libya, Sudan, Somalia and Yemen lacked "competent" central authorities for processing passports and vetting. Iran was included because it is a "state sponsor of terrorism," the order said. For the other countries, Trump's order cited an above-average likelihood that people would overstay their visas.
