Cabinet names GNB flyover after King Prithu to mark his resilience
1 2 Guwahati: State cabinet on Thursday named the over 5-km-long GNB flyover, which is being constructed to connect Ambari with Noonmati, as Maharaj (King) Prithu Flyover, after the ruler of Kamarupa in the early 13th century. The king is known for his military resistance against the Muslim invasions. Addressing a press conference, CM Himanta Biswa Sarma said state cabinet approved naming the four-lane flyover (elevated corridor) on GNB Road as the 'Maharaj Prithu Flyover' in honour of the historic figure Maharaj Prithu. This is intended to have an inspirational and motivational effect on the present and future generations of the indigenous population of Assam. The king ruled Kamarupa in the early 13th century between 1195 and 1228. He is known for his military resistance against the Muslim invasions, notably against Muhammad bin Bakhtiyar Khalji in 1206 and Ghiyas ud din Iwaj Shah in 1226. Prithu's reign is seen as a period of resistance against external threats and a consolidation of power in Kamarupa. In 1226, Prithu successfully resisted another invasion by Ghiyasuddin Iwaj Shah, who aimed to conquer Kamarupa, and in 1228, he was ultimately defeated and killed in battle against Nasiruddin Mahmud. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Is it better to shower in the morning or at night?

Officials said the project has faced some delays because workers get limited working hours due to the road being in use. Prior to this flyover, two more flyovers – one at Dispur Supermarket and the other at Rukminigaon – were named after King Bhagadatta, who was a ruler of the Pragjyotisha kingdom and a prominent figure in the Mahabharata epic. Bhagadatta was known for his prowess in elephant warfare, even in his old age. He fought on the side of the Kauravas in the Kurukshetra war, despite being a friend of Indra. On the other hand, the bridge over the Brahmaputra connecting Guwahati at Bharalumukh on the south bank and North Guwahati on the north bank of the river was recently named "Kumar Bhaskar Varma Setu". It has been named in honour of the 7th-century Kamarupa King Kumar Bhaskar Varma. Varma was the last ruler of the Varman dynasty.

UP Transport Dept introduces whatsApp chatbot to recover pending e-challans
Lucknow, Aug 21 (UNI) In a major digital push to recover crores in pending traffic fines, the Uttar Pradesh Transport Department has introduced a WhatsApp chatbot service (8005441222) for sending e-challan notices directly to vehicle owners. The service will allow recipients not only to receive verified challan notices but also to instantly check their status and make online payments. According to officials today, the department has launched a statewide campaign to clear pending challans for 2024-25. However, more than one-third of these challans cannot be delivered, as vehicle registration details either lack mobile numbers or contain incorrect ones. To avoid heavy penalties, the department has advised vehicle owners to regularly check their challan status on the official portal and make timely payments. Through the verified WhatsApp chatbot, the department can send up to 36 lakh e-challan notices. The service, which is government-approved and blue-tick verified, will remain active for three financial years starting from 2022–23. For 2024–25 alone, over 14 lakh notices will be issued, most of them targeting owners who provided wrong or no mobile numbers during registration. Such owners may face strict action under the Motor Vehicles Act, in addition to legal proceedings. In 2024–25, the state issued a total of 2,701,786 e-challans worth 1,411.2 crore. Transport Commissioner Brajesh Narayan Singh said, 'Currently, we are sending notices for pending challans of 2024–25. Later, a similar process will be initiated for the years 2022 and 2023 as well.'

Transport dept to send e-challan notices via WhatsApp chatbot
1 2 Lucknow: It's time to check your mobile phone for any e-challan notices that you may have received from the state transport department's WhatsApp Chatbot service (8005441222), and pay the amount. The transport department has taken up a massive exercise to realise challans pending for 2024-25. As there are over one-third of total pending challans where the mobile numbers are either wrong or missing in registration details of the vehicles, the department has advised owners to check the status of challans against their vehicles on the portal themselves and make payment to avoid stricter punishment. "Currently, we are sending notices for challans pending for 2024-25. Later, we will start a similar exercise for 2022 and 2023," transport commissioner Brajesh Narain Singh said. A total of 36 lakh e-challan notices may be sent by the department directly to vehicle owners' mobile numbers through its WhatsApp chatbot service, which is a blue tick verified service and approved by the central govt, for three financial years starting 2022-23. Over 14 lakh notices will be sent for 2024-25 alone. The biggest defaulters are those who have not provided mobile numbers in vehicle registration details or have given wrong numbers. While notices may not be sent to them as of now, they may face severe punishment under the MV Act, besides legal action. According to transport department, during 2024–25, a total of 2,701,786 e-challans were issued in the state, amounting to Rs 1,411.2 crore. Of these, 22,11,244 challans remain unpaid, which is 81.8% of the total, with outstanding dues of Rs 790.45 crore (56%). Pending challans have been categorised into three categories: multi-offender vehicles, two-wheelers, and four-wheelers. Another category is of around one-third of vehicles that have wrong or no mobile numbers in registration details. Four-wheelers are the biggest defaulters, comprising over 53.9% of the total unpaid challans amounting to around Rs 552.66 crore. The average is Rs 4,641 per challan. Two-wheelers are the second biggest defaulters. There are 2,79,296 multi-offender vehicles with 8,71,353 pending challans (39.4%) amounting to Rs 338.76 crore. Similarly, 2,21,538 mobile numbers are linked to more than one challan, covering 10,66,151 challans (48.2%) and dues of Rs 432.94 crore. At least 8,06,970 pending challans (36.5%) with Rs 270.6 crore in dues lack valid contact numbers. Within these, 'NULL' entries account for 384,301 challans, worth Rs 128.25 crore, and numbers with fewer than 10 digits account for 4,21,029 challans worth Rs 141.9 crore. It is for the first time that any govt department is sending e-challan notices through WhatsApp Chatbot service, which also ensures cyber security. The department is also sensitising people on facts like notices will come only from one number 8005441222 with a blue tick and that payments will be accepted only through official govt portal ( No payment should be made via QR codes, UPI, or bank accounts.
