Three Teachers Arrested in Shalarth ID Scam
Nagpur: In a significant development in the ongoing Shalarth ID scam, three more teachers were arrested on Thursday, bringing the total number of accused to 14. The case, registered at the Cyber police station, stems from a complaint by Ravindra Patil, junior administrative officer at the deputy director of education office, Nagpur division. The accused allegedly exploited the online Shalarth system to generate fake IDs, enabling fraudulent salary payments to fictitious education and non-teaching staff, defrauding the govt of substantial funds. The arrested individuals, identified as Satish Pawar (34), Pragya Mule (38), and Bhumika Nakhate (39), are teachers employed at Vidya Bhushan High School, Manewada, and Adarsh Primary School, Borgaon, Nagpur. Investigations revealed that Pawar drew regular salary since August 2023, while Mule and Nakhate began in June 2024, collectively siphoning off over Rs25 lakh using fake Shalarth IDs. Despite knowing their appointments were illegitimate, the accused continued to exploit the system. The investigation has already led to the arrest of key figures, including a divisional deputy director of education, three education office clerks, two school principals, and two school directors.

Dharavi to be a major Metro interchange with 2nd station
Mumbai: Dharavi, already part of the Metro network via the under-construction Metro Line 3 (Colaba-BKC-Aarey), may soon see the addition of a second Metro station. As part of the Dharavi Redevelopment Project (DRP), plans are being drawn up to extend Metro Line 11 (Wadala-CSMT) into Dharavi, setting the stage for a significant Metro interchange that could enhance east-west and north-south connectivity across Mumbai. The extension to Dharavi will have two stations, including one at Sion. Sources said Metro Line 11 is likely to be extended westward from Wadala to connect with the existing Metro Line 3 station in Dharavi. Mumbai Metro Rail Corporation Ltd (MMRCL), which is executing the Metro 3 project, has also been appointed to construct Metro Line 11, running from Wadala to Hutatma Chowk via Byculla. The project, estimated to cost Rs 16,000 crore, is currently in the planning phase. "For years, Dharavi has lacked proper connectivity. A Metro hub here means better access to jobs, colleges, and hospitals across the city," said Fatima Khan, a long-time Dharavi resident. As a Metro interchange hub, Dharavi will serve as a central mobility hub for the city. "There is a proposal to build a Dharavi Central Metro station, which could become the main interchange point for commuters from all directions," said a source involved with the project. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 허리 아플 때마다 파스만 붙이셨다면? 하루 3번, 붙이기만 해도 시원해집니다! pt 더 알아보기 Undo "The station is being designed as a multi-level structure that connects the city's north-south and east-west corridors." The interchange will allow commuters from the eastern suburbs to switch to Metro Line 3, enabling smooth access to BKC and the airport without relying on road transport, the source said, adding that this will drastically cut travel time and ease congestion on road corridors. "If this interchange comes up, I can get from Sion to BKC or the airport without changing multiple modes. It's going to save so much time," said Ravindra Patil, an office-goer from Chunabhatti. Planners also aim to integrate feeder bus routes and infrastructure for walking and cycling to improve last-mile connectivity. "It's more than just a Metro station," the official added. "The goal is to build a future-ready mobility hub that brings Metro, rail, buses, and non-motorised transport under one roof." To support this, feeder routes are also being planned, connecting local neighbourhoods with Metro and train stations.
