Five barrages to be constructed on Kshipra ahead of Simhastha 2028
Ujjain: To ensure the purity and proper flow of Kshipra River, five barrages are being constructed by the Water Resources Department as part of the backup scheme following the Kanha Closed Duct project. The five barrages will be located at Gothda, with additional barrages at Radyopipliya, Jamalpura, Ramwasa and Panthpiplai. To maintain an uninterrupted flow of Kshipra water ahead of Simhastha 2028, monsoon water will be stored in Sewarkhedi and released into the river post-monsoon through Silarkhedi as per the requirement over the next eight months. Additionally, the sewage water from Indore, Sanwer and Dewas will be diverted to Singawada, located downstream of the Gambhir Dam, to ensure that cleaner water reaches the Kshipra River. Mayank Singh, executive engineer of Water Resources Department, shared details of the closed duct being constructed, measuring 4.5 metres by 5 metres, which will direct sewage away from Kanha during non-monsoon months. "Under the Namami Shipra scheme, the five barrages are crucial for improving the quality of the Shipra," he said. Mayank Parmar, sub-divisional officer at Water Resources Department, Ujjain said that the Gothda barrage will be constructed 200 metres upstream from the current earthen dam at Kanha's Triveni. Parmar said that as per the planned structure, the Gothda barrage will stand 4.5 metres high, stretch 132 metres long and exceed 7 metres thickness, featuring approximately 18 gates. With a storage capacity of around 0.784 million cubic metres, it is anticipated to overflow when full. The estimated cost for this barrage is around Rs 6.24 crore and construction is set to commence shortly. Additionally, the series of four new barrages will benefit local farmers, who will have the opportunity to draw water as required, further enhancing agriculture in the region.

Windows 11 Update Fiasco: Microsoft Confirms Blue Screen Of Death. Here's What To Do
Have you seen the dreaded Blue Screen of Death on your Windows 11 PC since installing an update? You're not alone, and Microsoft has now confirmed the problem. Windows 11 NurPhoto via Getty Images It did so in a support document, spotted by Windows Latest. If you're looking for it, it's in the section headed Known issues in this update, in the Symptom part of Blue screen exception (the official name for what everybody calls Blue Screen of Death). 'After installing this update and restarting your device, you might encounter a blue screen exception with error code 0x18B indicating a SECURE_KERNEL_ERROR,' it reads. It relates to the Windows 11 version 2H42 release, and Windows Latest says it affects these three versions: KB5053598, released on March 11 as a Patch Tuesday update, KB5053656, out on March 27 (optional update) and KB5055523, released on April 8 as a Patch Tuesday update. Microsoft says it's working on a proper fix, but in the meantime, it has shipped a server-side update that turns off the change that caused the Blue screens, it's reported. 'This means most of you'll be fine, but if you run into a Blue Screen of Death error, try to go back to the desktop, open Settings, and immediately check for updates,' Windows Latest advises. So, what to do if you're affected? Check for updates is the first step, and early and often is good practice. 'I recommend checking for updates as many as five times and rebooting your PC because this will allow you to grab the server-side patch faster,' Mayank Parmar at Windows Latest says, noting that users won't spot any additional update listed on the Windows Update page since it's a server-side release. The April update has had other issues, too, such as breaking Windows Hello for some users, so signing in using face or eye recognition has stopped. Microsoft has acknowledged this part of the issue, too, and is planning to patch it in the update in May 2025.

Microsoft Kills Another Windows 10 Option—What To Do Now
Goodbye Windows 10 There is now little more than six months to run before Windows 10 support ends, and Microsoft is tidying house. The company has made it clear it wants all users to upgrade eligible PCs to Windows 11 or buy a new device. In the last week we've seen an email and online blog make that position clear. Now another change has been confirmed. 'Heads up!' PC World warns, 'Microsoft is killing OneNote for Windows 10 soon.' Just as we saw with Windows 10 office apps, the Windows-maker has confirmed that 'OneNote for Windows 10 will reach end of support on October 14,' and that from June, 'users of OneNote for Windows 10 will experience slower sync performance, impacting real-time collaboration and multi-device access. For enterprises more than home users. 'Don't wait until your users face disruptions,' Microsoft says, 'migrate them now using our migration guide and script for a seamless transition.' Per Windows Latest, while this may be seen as another 'nail in Windows 10's coffin,' in reality 'this is more to do with OneNote than Windows 10,' albeit 'the new OneNote, which is designed for Windows 11, has the same sync technology as the legacy version, so how is it going to sync everything faster?' On that note, Microsoft has a trick up its sleeve. Mayank Parmar from Windows Latest told me that 'to encourage users to switch to the newer app designed for Windows 11, Microsoft is intentionally reducing sync speeds in the legacy app from June 2025. This means notes will sync slower, affecting collaboration and multi-device access, with users seeing prompts urging them to move to the new app.' It's clear that using Windows 10 will keep getting more difficult until the October deadline, and users within eligible PCs are well advised to upgrade now. If your PC is not eligible, you either need to live with the compromises or hit the shops. What's not clear is what will happen with the $30 extended support option, and whether buying this will result in a nag-free 12-months or just more of the same.
