Heerapura terminal raises concerns over traffic chaos
1 2 Jaipur: Residents near the Heerapura terminal have raised concerns over worsening traffic congestion following the state govt's decision to start operations at the terminal from Aug 1. They fear the terminal will heavily burden the already congested service lanes near the Bhankrota and Kamla Nehru Nagar flyovers, along with their underpasses. As per the traffic plan, buses from Jaipur towards Ajmer will use the side lanes of the Kamla Nehru Nagar flyover to access the terminal and then exit via the Bhankrota flyover service lanes. Buses coming from Ajmer will take U-turns at the Kamla Nehru flyover underpass to reach the terminal. Those heading to Jaipur will take U-turns at the Bhankrota flyover underpass to join the Jaipur-bound flank (200-Feet Bypass Crossing-bound) of the Ajmer Highway. Locals argue that traffic already moves slowly due to rapid population growth on both sides of the expressway. They warn that the additional load from terminal operations could turn daily commuting into a nightmare for nearby residents. "Now, traffic surge would stem from various vehicles, including long-distance buses, private minibuses, JCTSL buses, autos, Tata Magic vehicles, and cabs, which will utilise the crowded service lanes near Bhankrota flyover and Kamla Nehru Nagar flyover, including their underpasses. These service lanes and underpasses are not equipped to handle even movements of small vehicles and SUVs. How would it sustain such a huge volume?" questioned Amit Goel, a local resident. A senior official from the transport department said, it would be a 'traffic disaster' once this bus terminal opens. "RITES conducted a survey and asked the govt to develop this terminal properly before commencing any services from here. Accordingly, the govt approached a private multinational transport services provider. Unfortunately, this private company refused to develop it, stating a lack of feasibility. With no other options left, the govt now decided to commence services from here hastily," the official added.

Patiala: RGNUL student dies of cardiac arrest, student bodies say help didn't come on time
Two days after a 24-year-old final-year student of Rajiv Gandhi National University of Law (RGNUL), Patiala, died of cardiac arrest, the student body alleged 'gross negligence' and 'systematic failure' on the part of the university administration in responding to the medical emergency. The student had collapsed outside her hostel room late Wednesday night after which she was taken to a private hospital, where she was declared dead. In a letter to the university vice-chancellor (V-C), the student body alleged that the ambulance took around 30 minutes to arrive, and when it did, it was found to be ill-equipped to provide basic life support. As per information, the varsity uses a Tata Magic, a passenger vehicle, as a makeshift ambulance. The students' letter reads, 'Her medical distress was first noticed around 10.45 pm. Immediate efforts were made by students to seek medical assistance. Calls were made to the health centre, which went unanswered...' 'In the absence of any support from the administration and healthcare centre staff, students had to wrap her in a bedsheet to carry her down the stairs from the third the ambulance finally arrived after around 30 minutes, it was found ill-equipped to provide on-the-spot medical care and took 10 minutes to set off, adding to the delay,' the letter further read. Vice-chancellor professor Jai Shankar Singh said, 'The university stands in grief with the student's family, who have suffered an irreparable loss. As informed by her parents, she was already suffering from heart ailments. The allegations (levelled by students) are not from her parents or friends. It is some boys from some other batch who are making baseless allegations. It is obvious that when there is an emergency call, it will take 10-15 minutes for the driver to get dressed and reach the hostel.'
