Unfinished foot over bridge at Pune's Pratik Nagar raises safety concerns
A foot over bridge (FoB) installed at Pratiknagar in Vishrantwadi has been lying incomplete for over three months. Residents claim that the bridge has no staircases and cannot be used. The Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) should complete the work immediately to avoid untoward incidents, they said. Anand Adsul, a resident of Vishrantwadi, said, 'The FoB crosses a drain with encroachments on both sides. Without staircases, it serves no purpose.' In 2014, the PMC built a pedestrian bridge at Vishrantwadi Chowk, where five major roads meet. The junction is always busy due to traffic, street vendors, encroachments, and illegal parking. The bridge was built at a cost of ₹4 crore to help people cross the Alandi Road, Dhanori, and airport junction safely. However, the bridge was too high and the lift often didn't work. Very few people used it, and it was poorly maintained. In 2023, PMC decided to scrap it and build a flyover and grade separator instead. Later, the PMC project department dismantled the old FoB and decided to reuse its parts. One section was installed at the College of Engineering, Pune (CoEP) hostel on Jangli Maharaj Road and is now operational. Another section was placed at Pratik Nagar, Vishrantwadi, but without staircases. Residents from Pratiknagar, Mohanwadi, Panchsheel Nagar, Adarsh Nagar, and Maji Sainik Nagar say the FoB could help cross the busy Alandi Road. But the height and lack of access make it unusable—especially for senior citizens. Sandeep Patil, executive engineer at PMC's project department, said, 'Drainage work is underway at the FoB site. We're connecting a line from the underpass to the nearby drain. Due to pre-monsoon rains, the work has been delayed. Once it's done, we'll install the staircases.' Vinod Pawar, civic activist, said, 'The bridge work should be finished before the Palkhi procession. If any untoward incident occurs, PMC will be responsible.'

UTT Season 6: PBG Pune Jaguars comeback to beat rivals U Mumba TT 9-6
Indian stalwarts Reeth Rishya Tennison and Anirban Ghosh starred as PBG Pune Jaguars came from behind to defeat Maharashtra rivals U Mumba TT 9-6 in the Ultimate Table Tennis (UTT) Season 6 on Sunday. Staged under the aegis of the Table Tennis Federation of India (TTFI), UTT continues to grow as a premier professional league. All 23 ties, over 16 action-packed days, will take place at Ahmedabad's EKA Arena. International stars Lilian Bardet and Bernadette Szocs kicked things off positively for U Mumba with wins in their respective matches, helping their team into an early 4-2 lead. Bardet took little time to secure an 11-1 victory in Game 1 of the first match against IndianOil UTT favourite Alvaro Robles, before dominating Game 2 with an 11-4 win. However, Robles crucially pulled one back for PBG Pune Jaguars, keeping them within touching distance of their opponents in a league where every game counts. Meanwhile, Szocs extended her perfect head-to-head record across all competitions against Season 6 debutant Dina Meshref, staging a dramatic comeback by saving three match points in Game 2 before going on to win the match 2-1. But the momentum shifted dramatically when Anirban stepped up for Pune. First, he partnered with Meshref to win a nervy mixed doubles battle 2-1, clinching it with the Golden Point. Then, he edged Akash Pal 2-1 in a gritty singles contest to level the tie at 6-6. In the decider, the experienced Reeth dominated against Swastika Ghosh 3-0, sealing a memorable 9-6 win for Pune. Reeth was named Indian Player of the Tie, while Szocs earned Foreign Player of the Tie. Akash took home the Shot of the Tie prize. Earlier at the Dream UTT Juniors, Dempo Goa Challengers edged Stanley's Chennai Lions 5-4, powered by a flawless 3-0 win from Sahil Rawat and a crucial mixed doubles win. In the second tie, Jaipur Patriots sealed a 6-3 victory over Ahmedabad SG Pipers, with Shreya Dhar starring in both singles and doubles alongside Trishal Surapureddy. Final Scores PBG Pune Jaguars 9-6 U Mumba TT Alvaro Robles lost to Lilian Bardet 1-2 (1-11, 4-11, 11-8) Dina Meshref lost to Bernadette Szocs 1-2 (11-5, 10-11, 9-11) Anirban Ghosh/Dina Meshref bt.

How to Read Financial Statements Before Investing in Stocks
PUNE, INDIA / / May 31, 2025 / -Investing in the stock market can be rewarding, but smart investing starts with knowing how to read financial statements. These documents reveal a company's financial health and are essential for evaluating whether a stock is worth your money. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced investor, understanding financial statements helps you make informed decisions-especially when using free Demat account apps like Bajaj Broking to manage your investments on the go. Why Financial Statements Matter in the Stock Market Before you buy a stock, you're essentially becoming a part-owner of that company. Wouldn't you want to know how well it's doing? That's where financial statements come in-they provide insights into the company's revenue, expenses, assets, liabilities, and profitability. These three main financial documents are vital: Balance Sheet Income Statement (Profit & Loss Statement) Cash Flow Statement Let's break down how to read each one. 1. Balance Sheet: Understand a Company's Net Worth The balance sheet shows what a company owns (assets) and what it owes (liabilities), as well as shareholder equity. Key elements to analyze: Assets vs. Liabilities: A healthy company typically has more assets than liabilities. Debt-to-Equity Ratio: Lower ratios are generally safer, especially in volatile stock market sectors. Working Capital: The difference between current assets and liabilities shows short-term liquidity. Quick Tip: Compare year-on-year balance sheet data to spot trends. Many free Demat account apps, such as Bajaj Broking, offer access to this data directly within their stock analysis features. 2. Income Statement: Check Profitability Also called the Profit & Loss statement, this document shows the company's revenue, expenses, and net profit over a specific period. Look for: Revenue Growth: Is the company consistently increasing sales? Net Profit Margin: Indicates how much profit is generated from total revenue. Operating Income: Reflects core business profitability, excluding one-off items. Quick Tip: Steady growth in both revenue and profit is often a sign of a fundamentally strong stock. 3. Cash Flow Statement: Gauge Financial Stability The cash flow statement details how money moves in and out of the business, focusing on operations, investments, and financing. Key focus areas: Positive Operating Cash Flow: Suggests that the business model is working. Free Cash Flow: A company with consistent free cash flow can reinvest and pay dividends. Cash Reserves: Critical for withstanding economic downturns in the stock market. Tools to Make It Easier Modern free Demat account apps simplify access to financial data, allowing you to: View 5-year financial trends Analyze ratios like P/E, ROE, and EBITDA Set alerts for earnings and results announcements Final Thoughts Reading financial statements may seem daunting at first, but with regular practice and the right tools, it becomes second nature. If you're venturing into the stock market, these statements are your best resource for filtering hype from reality.
