Metro Line 5 rod accident makes Bombay high court urge swift implementation of construction safety measures suggested by committee it appointed in 2023
Mumbai: Expressing its concern at the serious injury caused to a man in an autorickshaw when an iron rod fell from the under-construction Metro Line 5 site, the Bombay high court on Thursday observed that measures suggested by a committee it appointed in 2023 required expeditious implementation. A division bench of Justices Girish Kulkarni and Arif Doctor said an expert committee was appointed and suggested measures for construction sites. Had these been implemented expeditiously by all public bodies, the recent iron rod incident could have been avoided. "The measures are in the larger public interest and thus expeditious action is required," said the high court, placing the matter of a 2023 petition filed by Lokhandwala Residency Towers CHS on the issue of public safety for urgent hearing next Tuesday.

Such concern of the court as of today is resurrected in view of the recent incident of an accident on the Thane-Bhiwandi-Kalyan Metro Line, in respect of which an iron rod fell from the bridge under construction, piercing the head of an autorickshaw passenger, as reported in the Times of India dated Aug 5, 2025, Mumbai edition," the high court said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like We Have No Words For Dog The Bounty Hunter's Transformation Cash Roadster Undo "If appropriate guidelines, as made in the report of the committee, were to be circulated by the urban development department and reach all the municipal corporations/public authorities, and if the same were to be implemented, the plight possibly would have been different. As we see from the photograph and newspaper report, all these construction sites would show that below construction sites, free access to the public and traffic is permitted without adequate precautions being taken to safeguard human lives by taking suitable measures to prevent objects from falling from such construction being undertaken at a considerable height," the high court said. The high court called for the state urban development department to participate at the next hearing and said it intends for the BMC to place on record the guidelines submitted by the expert committee so that the state govt can consider them and ensure they are forwarded to all municipal bodies across the state for implementation. The high court, in March 2023—Justice Kulkarni was on the bench when appointing the committee—expressed serious concerns over accidents caused by objects falling from suspended cranes at construction sites at public places, which the person on the ground may ordinarily not notice. It also expressed hope that none of the high-rise constructions in Mumbai should make people vulnerable and prone to such accidents where innocents get injured or lose their lives.

4 attempts made to kill my son Tejashwi: Rabri
1 2 Patna: Former Bihar CM Rabri Devi made a sensational revelation on Friday, alleging that there were four attempts made in the past to "assassinate" her son, Tejashwi Prasad Yadav , and blamed these attempts on the "BJP-JD(U) people". Tejashwi, leader of the opposition in the state assembly, is considered the opposition INDIA bloc's CM face, although a formal announcement has not been made so far. "Tejashwi Yadav ko toh char baar marne ke koshish hua tha rasta mein…Yahan bhi marne ke koshis ho raha hai (There have been four attempts in the past to kill him on the way. Conspiracies are still being hatched to eliminate him in Patna)," Rabri told reporters in the portico of the Bihar legislative council. She added that Tejashwi faces serious threats to his life and they are very much aware of who is behind the conspiracies. "But none can silence the voice of the people," she said. Rabri levelled these allegations against her political rivals a day after the Bihar legislative assembly plunged into pandemonium during which opposition and ruling party members ran menacingly towards each other and almost came to blows, but this was averted due to timely intervention by the security forces. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like We Have No Words For Dog The Bounty Hunter's Transformation Cash Roadster Some RJD members alleged that during this scuffle-like situation, a BJP member uprooted the microphone from the table and ran menacingly towards Tejashwi with the intention to assault him, a charge denied by the NDA leaders. RJD sources said Rabri was compelled to raise the security issue of her son in light of some recent incidents where Tejashwi's life appeared to be "in danger". On July 10, a speeding car allegedly tried to enter his cavalcade on J P Ganga Path in Patna, prompting the police to arrest the driver. On June 29, Tejashwi narrowly escaped injury as a drone crashed into the podium while he was addressing the "Waqf Bachao, Samvidhan Bachao Sammelan" at Gandhi Maidan in Patna. He narrowly escaped again on June 7, when a speeding truck hit two vehicles of his convoy, injuring three security personnel in Vaishali district. Tejashwi himself said a firing incident took place outside his official residence at 1, Polo Road, which is considered a VIP area, last month.

20L formal job additions reported in May; surge spans gender, sectors & regions: EPFO
EPFO India's organised sector witnessed its strongest monthly expansion to date in May, with Employees' Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) reporting net payroll additions of over 20 lakh, the highest since formal tracking began in April 2018, provisional data from labour ministry showed on Monday. The surge spans gender, sectors and regions, underscoring steady formalisation of the workforce. Union labour and employment minister Mansukh Mandaviya described the milestone as "a testament to the growing strength of India's formal employment landscape". He credited it to "the direct result of PM Narendra Modi's visionary leadership and govt's unwavering commitment to pro-youth, pro-worker reforms", adding that "ease of doing business and economic empowerment is yielding tangible outcomes for a Viksit Bharat". Women's participation in the formal workforce also saw strides, with net female payroll additions reaching 4,25,000, marking a 7.5% increase over April and a 15% year-on-year rise. First-time formal job entrants numbered 9,42,000, up from 8,49,000 in April, driven largely by youth - workers aged 18-25 - who accounted for 8,73,000 net additions amid a 15.1% month-on-month rise. Job-switchers who transferred their EPFO accounts without withdrawing funds totalled 16 lakh in May, rising 2.1% from April and 14.3% from last year. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like We Have No Words For Dog The Bounty Hunter's Transformation Cash Roadster Undo The ministry noted that such behaviour "safeguards long-term financial well being and extends their social security protection". Sector-wise, manpower suppliers led with around 4,63,000 hires, followed by expert services at 1,38,000. Industries spanning textiles, garments, security, contracting, engineering, cleaning and finance contributed significantly, collectively supporting the surge. Regionally, Maharashtra led the pack by contributing 20.3% of net additions, with Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Gujarat, Haryana, Delhi, Uttar Pradesh and Telangana each delivering over 5%. Together, the top five states and UTs accounted for nearly 60% of national payroll growth. May's historic payroll figures reflect more than seasonal hiring - it signals an evolving economic structure where formal employment, especially among youth and women, is gaining traction. The sharp rise in first-time entrants and account portability suggests enhanced job confidence and workforce fluidity. Still, sustaining this momentum hinges on ensuring the longevity and quality of these emerging formal jobs, requiring stronger skill development and social protection frameworks to translate job numbers into secure, resilient livelihoods across the economy.

Auto union leaders link rising crimes to lax driver checks
1 2 Jaipur: After the arrest of two men who posed as auto drivers and robbed elderly women, auto union leaders in Jaipur have admitted that the city lacks a proper system to verify or monitor drivers, leaving the door open for such crimes. "There is no real enforcement. Drivers are supposed to wear blue aprons for identification, but most don't, and passengers hardly notice," said Kuldeep Singh Issar, president of a city auto union. He said that until 2017, khaki uniforms were mandatory, but the rule was changed after drivers complained about having to change clothes for personal events. "The govt then allowed the use of aprons, which could be worn over regular clothes. But even this rule is rarely followed, and the Rs 100 fine for non-compliance is hardly a deterrent," Issar added. Following the recent incident, union leaders have issued fresh requests to member drivers to wear aprons. However, they stressed that an apron alone cannot confirm whether a driver is genuine or not. The deeper issue, they said, is the lack of identity verification and data collection. "A large number of auto drivers in Jaipur are not part of any union," said Umrao Quershi, president of another major auto union. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like We Have No Words For Dog The Bounty Hunter's Transformation Cash Roadster Undo "Most have migrated from other states. Once settled, they often bring in friends or relatives to drive autos. Many either hold licences from their home states or have no licence at all," he added. Quershi added that in many cases, the only information available to police is through auto owners who rent out vehicles. "We are not sure if these owners keep proper records of who's driving their autos," he said. Both union leaders urged the state govt to introduce a comprehensive verification and registration system. They emphasised that without official identification, even enforcement of existing rules becomes ineffective, allowing criminal elements to operate unchecked in the city's public transport system.
