Society Needs People Who File Petitions Against Government: Nitin Gadkari
Nagpur: Union Road Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari has stressed the need for filing court cases against the government to ensure discipline in public administration. A court order can get work done in a way that even the government can't, said the senior BJP leader while speaking at the Late Prakash Deshpande Smriti Kushal Sangathak Puraskar ceremony in Nagpur. "There should be some people in the society who file petitions against the government in the court. This disciplines the politicians. (This is) because even ministers in the government cannot do the work that a court order can do. Popular politics comes in the way of politicians and ministers," he said. Mr Gadkari pointed out that those honoured as 'Kushal Sangathak', at the event, fought many such legal battles against the government. The 'Kushal Sangathaks' filed many court cases against "wrong" government decisions in the education sector and even forced the government to withdraw their decisions on many instances, said the BJP leader known for revolutionising road networks in the country.

'Thriving and densely-built': Archaeologists unearth 'tower' houses and ceremonial building in ancient Egyptian city of Imet
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Archaeologists have discovered the remains of multistory houses and a ceremonial building linked to the cobra-headed goddess Wadjet in the ancient Egyptian city of Imet. Dense architectural remains indicate that Imet was a bustling urban center during Egypt's Late Period (circa 664 to 332 B.C.), or the last period of Egyptian rule before Alexander the Great and his general Ptolemy I Soter took over, according to a statement describing recent excavations in what is now Tell Nabasha (also spelled Tell Nebesha) — an archaeological site in the eastern Nile Delta. "Imet is emerging as a key site for rethinking the archaeology of Late Period Egypt," Nicky Nielsen, a senior lecturer in Egyptology at the University of Manchester in the U.K. who directed the excavations, said in the statement. The newly discovered multistory houses, or tower houses, were likely designed to accommodate a growing population in what was a prominent city in ancient times, particularly in the fourth century B.C., Nielsen said. "These tower houses are mainly found in the Nile Delta between the Late Period and the Roman era, and are rare elsewhere in Egypt," he said. "Their presence here shows that Imet was a thriving and densely-built city with a complex urban infrastructure." Nielsen and his team first spotted the tower-house remains on high-resolution satellite images, which revealed clusters of ancient mudbrick in Imet. The researchers traveled to the ancient city to excavate these structures, as well as the ruins of a paved area for grain processing and animal enclosures, which together point to an active local economy, according to the statement.

The building sits on the ancient processional road to the temple of Wadjet — the patron goddess and protector of Lower Egypt, traditionally depicted as a winged cobra or as a woman with the head of a cobra — suggesting the building itself also held spiritual significance. Evidence suggests the processional road fell out of use in the mid-Ptolemaic period, indicating a shift in religious culture, according to the statement.

The discovery of complex infrastructure and ancient religious artifacts from Imet "opens new doors to our understanding of daily life, spirituality and urban planning in the Delta," Nielsen said.

Archaeologists Unearth 2,000-Year-Old City in Sharqia
Among the findings are multi-story mudbrick homes, a temple to Wadjet, and rare relics like a faience ushabti, bronze sistrum, and Horus stela. Jun 21, 2025 Archaeologists have uncovered the ruins of Imet, an ancient city buried beneath Tell El-Faraoun (Tell Nabisha) in Sharqia, shedding new light on urban life in the Nile Delta over 2,000 years ago. Led by the University of Manchester, the British mission unearthed multi-story 'tower houses,' grain storage rooms, and animal shelters dating back to the 4th century BCE—revealing a densely populated settlement with sophisticated architecture. In the temple area, the team discovered limestone flooring, mudbrick columns, and religious relics including a faience ushabti, a bronze sistrum adorned with Hathor heads, and a stela depicting Horus and Bes. 'The discovery of 'Imet' is a significant milestone in our understanding of daily life, architectural innovation, and religious practices in the Delta during the Late and early Ptolemaic periods,' said Dr. Mohamed Ismail Khaled, Secretary-General of the Supreme Council of Antiquities. Believed to have been a major center during the New Kingdom and Late Period, Imet was home to a temple dedicated to the goddess Wadjet, originally rebuilt by Ramses II and Ahmose II.
