Centralised system to monitor progress of urban infrastructure in UP soon
Lucknow: The urban development department is developing a scheme monitoring system (SMS) to keep track of upgradation of the urban infrastructure in the state. Under it, a total of 3,062 civil projects under the CM Nagriye Alpaviksit Scheme and CM Malin Basti Scheme (slum resettlement) are being undertaken in UP at present. Similarly, a total of 335 infrastructure projects related to roads, footpaths, beautification, street lighting, and green cover (parks and gardens) are being executed across 762 urban local bodies in UP. Officials said an SMS platform is being set up to monitor all the ongoing civic projects being executed with a budget of Rs 3,500 crore in towns with populations between 1 lakh and 10 lakh. A high-level meeting was held at the urban body directorate to review the progress of major schemes operating under the department. The meeting was attended by chief engineers, executive engineers, assistant engineers, and junior engineers from all municipal corporations and urban bodies across the state. Secretary of the department and director of Urban Local Bodies Anuj Kumar Jha sought the latest progress of major schemes such as the CM Vatsala Ya Scheme, CM-Green Road Infrastructure Development Scheme (CM-GRID), Urban Flood Management & Storm Water Drainage under the monitoring system. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Ecobonus 2025: perché approfittarne subito acquistando una pompa di calore Aira Scopri di più Undo The leadership team comprising senior engineers provided technical information about the scheme's objectives, benefits, and action plan. It was clarified that action plans prepared by bodies should be sent to the govt through the portal after approval from the relevant committee. Principal secretary Amrit Abhijat directed engineers to ensure all works are completed within the stipulated timeframe with high quality. The meeting also provided information about the online road repository developed by the urban road infrastructure development authority (URIDA), which is an effective tool for better management of urban roads. Through this repository, data on road location, width, length, maintenance status, and repair requirements can be collected as assets and liabilities to implement schemes in a rational and effective manner. It was explained that each urban body must plan its rainwater drainage system according to its catchment area to address waterlogging issues during monsoons. Instructions were also given to regularly upload information about these projects on the scheme portal to strengthen the monitoring system. The meeting also reviewed development work at historically, mythologically, religiously, and culturally significant sites in urban areas under the Vandan Scheme. "Smart management, technical innovation, and effective monitoring can give new direction to the state's cities," said Abhijat.

'Masterpiece' horror movie with 'best plot twist ever' is streaming on iPlayer
The film has an impressive 86% on Rotten Tomatoes and has been described as "impeccably cast and smartly written". A chilling horror movie that's been dubbed a '10/10' must-watch by fans is now streaming at no charge. The film has garnered accolades for featuring the 'best plot twist ever' - and it's hitting BBC iPlayer for free this weekend. Bodies, Bodies, Bodies boasts an impressive 86% on Rotten Tomatoes and has earned glowing reviews for being "impeccably cast and smartly written", as well as "an uncommonly well-done whodunit". The plot centres around: "When a group of rich 20-somethings plan a hurricane party at a remote family mansion, a party game goes awry in this fresh and funny look at backstabbing, fake friends, and one party gone very, very wrong." With a young and talented cast, the film features stars like Amandla Stenberg from The Hate U Give, Rachel Sennott from Shiva Baby, and the comedian Pete Davidson. Horror enthusiasts believe this film is grossly underrated, with many voices on Rotten Tomatoes comments section singing its praises, reports Surrey Live. One fan remarked: "What initially seemed like a typical teen horror flick turns out to be a fun and surprisingly well-crafted film." Another added their voice stating: "Bodies Bodies Bodies is a sharp, satirical take on Gen Z culture wrapped in a murder mystery. "The dialogue is witty and self-aware, capturing the internet-fueled language of the TikTok generation. It's not your typical slasher flick; it's more of a psychological whodunit with a cheeky twist." Several viewers found themselves entirely gripped by the "insane" twist of the tale, with one confessing: "Best plot twist ever. Be prepared to be amazed." One viewer enthused: "A well done fun guilty pleasure murder mystery film with sure some cheesy lines but some good acting and scenes that hooks you in with twists and a wow of an ending." Another fan raved: "Another A24 masterpiece, insane plot twist, hilarious, it just has it all." However, some viewers were left unimpressed, with one dismissing it as "pure dribble" and another criticising: "Highly annoying, unlikeable characters. I regret watching this." In contrast, professional critics were largely full of praise, with The Times' Edward Porter noting: "In general the film crackles with life. It has a caustic script, a stormy atmosphere and a talented cast." The Independent's Clarisse Loughrey observed: "It's peak nihilistic entertainment, watching these souls try, in vain, to keep their fragile reputations intact while they're drenched head to toe in blood." Empire Magazine's Ella Kemp concluded: "Tense when it needs to be and awfully good fun throughout. Stupidity reigns supreme for these rich kids, but the filmmakers are smart enough to make Bodies Bodies Bodies stick the landing." The Financial Times' Danny Leigh also commented: "The title could hint at either sex or death, and both end up with roles to play in a movie carefully stuffed with rising stars du jour." Bodies Bodies Bodies is streaming tonight at 11.30pm on BBC One and will be available on BBC iPlayer after broadcast.

Malpractice season two review – relentlessly tense TV that will leave you terrified
Two years ago, former NHS doctor Grace Ofori-Attah created the relentlessly tense first series of Malpractice, a tale of an A&E doctor whose errors under impossible pressure, combined with the inexperience and equal stresses of others, resulted in the death of a patient. Then things escalated. It took in topical medical subjects – primarily the creeping problem of opioid addiction – alongside social issues, including the manifold effects of the pandemic, the prevalence of burnout, the bureaucratic inefficiencies that hinder staff and patients, the institutional buck-passing and arse-covering that greet any type of mistake, and the potential for corruption that exists in any large organisation. It asked how much we should expect of people trapped in a system starved of resources, how much human fallibility we should tolerate in healthcare. It was fast and in every sense furious, written as leanly and cleanly by Ofori-Attah as only someone with direct experience of a particular environment can. Only one episode of the new series is available for review but it looks to be shaping up just as well as the first. Psychiatric doctor James Ford (Tom Hughes) needs to be in two places at once: doing an assessment on shaky new mother Rosie (Hannah McLean), whose GP Dr Sophia Hernandez (Am I Being Unreasonable's Selin Hizli), contacts him about as the on-call psychiatrist during Rosie's postnatal checkup, and attending the sectioning of a troubled, crack-addicted pregnant woman at her home where the police are already waiting and threatening to leave if they have to do so much longer. Ford does the assessment first. He asks all the necessary questions. Can we accurately judge if he is rushing things? If he is paying enough attention to the answers? To Rosie's body language? Can anyone? Hernandez is certainly annoyed he leaves it to her to go through the medications he prescribes Rosie, but surely this is a legitimate division of responsibility when he has another vital job to get to? Hernandez seems demanding and dislikable. How much does that colour how we evaluate their point of view? These seeds of doubt already sowed, we move on to the sectioning visit and the necessary savagery involved in removing someone from her home against her will. The patient, Toni (Seraphina Beh) is placed in psychiatric care, where Hernandez and Ford – both with Toni and her baby's best interests at heart – clash again over how to manage the pregnancy and delivery. The frequent lack of clear clinical pathways is where dramas like this – Cardiac Arrest, Bodies, This Is Going to Hurt – are most confronting and terrifying. We want to think doctors know everything. No one wants to admit that this is impossible or that what we are really doing is trusting them to be the best at weighing options and risks, but never able to banish the latter. But the meat of the thing is in the fate of Rosie. The lack of clarity around her medications leads to her being insufficiently sedated during an episode of postpartum psychosis and to – in a courageously quiet, underplayed scene – tragedy. Possibly one that could have been avoided if Ford hadn't massaged the truth about how long it would take him to get back her ward (he is supposed to live within half an hour of the hospital – he is staying with his sister 45 minutes away), but equally possibly not. And so we meet again doctors Norma Callahan and George Adjei (Helen Behan and Jordan Kouamé) from the Medical Investigations Unit as they launch a 'fitness to practice' inquiry against Ford and we come again to the questions of culpability and moral responsibility that suffused the first series. The closing scenes suggest that we will not be done out of the many twists and turns the original Malpractice so brilliantly delivered, complete with revelations about the characters that complicate their moral standing in our eyes, their motives, their decision-making processes, the capacity they have to be at their best at any given moment in jobs that demand constant perfection. The new series promises to be as addictive and unsettling as the last, with another good cast and Ofori-Attah still with plenty of material. Malpractice can surely run and run – which is great news for viewers, if less so for doctors and their patients out in the real world. Malpractice season two aired on ITV1 and is on ITVX now

Goa govt cancels all state-backed events for 3 days after temple stampede
The Goa government on Saturday announced that all functions supported by it stand cancelled for the next three days in the wake of a stampede during a temple festival that killed six devotees and injured more than 70. "In view of the tragic stampede incident that occurred during the Shree Devi Lairai Zatra at Shirgao, and as an expression of condolences to the departed and their families, the Government of Goa directs that all Government- supported festive programmes and public celebrations scheduled over the next three days be cancelled or postponed," a circular issued by Shreyas D'Silva, Under Secretary of General Administration Department, stated. "All Heads of Departments, Government Corporations and Autonomous Bodies are hereby instructed to ensure strict compliance with this directive," the circular reads. The stampede occurred at a temple festival at Shirgao village in North Goa in the wee hours of Saturday, officials said. According to the police, thousands of devotees thronged the narrow lanes of the temple for the annual festival. "At least 30,000 to 40,000 people had gathered for the festival, and some were standing on a slope. A few persons fell on the slope, causing others to tumble on each other," said Director General of Police Alok Kumar. He said 40 to 50 people fell on the slope.
