LUCKNOW: In the ongoing legal battle over the Krishna Janmabhoomi and Shahi Idgah Mosque in Mathura, the Allahabad High Court on Friday rejected the Hindu sides plea to declare the Shahi Idgah Mosque, situated on Shree Krishna Janmabhoomi premises, a disputed structure. The petition had sought an official designation of the mosque as a disputed site in court records and all further proceedings. The single-judge bench, comprising Justice Ram Manohar Narayan Mishra, dismissed the plea orally, saying the application filed by the Hindu side in this regard is being dismissed at this stage. The judgment, which was reserved on May 23, is being seen as a significant relief for the Muslim litigants in the long-standing legal battle. Notably, advocate Mahendra Pratap Singh, appearing for the Hindu side, had filed an application on March 5 this year, urging the court to declare the Shahi Idgah Mosque as a disputed structure. The contention of the petitioner was that the mosque was built through encroachment and lacked legal documentation proving ownership or religious designation. The Hindu side asserted that the structure could not be called a mosque in the absence of land ownership documents, municipal records, or tax filings. So far, four hearings have taken place in the single-judge bench. Besides this petition, 18 other related petitions filed by the Hindu side have been clubbed by the High Court, and they remain pending before it. All the petitions primarily seek the removal of alleged illegal encroachments from the premises of the Shri Krishna Janmabhoomi temple, currently referred to as the Shahi Idgah Masjid. The Hindu petitioners claimed that the land where the mosque stands was originally the site of a Krishna temple. They argued that symbols and motifs of Hindu deities were still visible on the mosques walls. They further contended that merely occupying a land illegally did not establish ownership and drew parallels with the Ayodhya dispute. They requested that, similar to the Babri Masjid in Ayodhya, the Shahi Idgah should be declared a disputed structure before further legal decisions are made. On the contrary, in response, the Muslim side filed objections, describing the Hindu petition as entirely baseless. They emphasized that the Shahi Idgah had been existing for the last over 400 years. They also argued that the demand to declare it a disputed structure should not only be dismissed but also that the petitioners should be penalized. The Shahi Idgah Mosque is located adjacent to the Shri Krishna Janmasthan temple complex in Mathura. The dispute has drawn national attention, with similarities drawn to the Ram Janmabhoomi-Babri Masjid case in Ayodhya.

For New India, even sky is not the limit: PM Modi in Trinidad & Tobago
PORT OF SPAIN: India will soon be among the top three economies of the world, and its missions on artificial intelligence, semiconductor and quantum computing are becoming the new engines of growth, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has said. In an address at a gathering of the Indian diaspora on Thursday, Modi said India is a land of opportunities today, and the fruits of its growth and progress are reaching the most needy. For New India, even the sky is not the limit. Modi attended the event hours after landing in Trinidad and Tobago in the second leg of his five-nation tour. It is the first bilateral visit by an Indian prime minister to this Caribbean island nation since 1999. Trinidad and Tobago's Prime Minister Kamla Persad-Bissessar, members of her cabinet, lawmakers and several other dignitaries were among over 4,000 people who attended the event. In his remarks, Modi lavished praise on the Indian community in Trinidad and Tobago, and said: They left their soil, but not their soul. They left the Ganga and Yamuna behind but carried the Ramayan in their hearts. They left their soil, but not their soul. They were not just migrants. They were messengers of a timeless civilisation, he said. Their contributions have benefitted this country -- culturally, economically and spiritually. Just look at the impact that you have all had on this beautiful nation, he added. The journey of the Indian community in Trinidad & Tobago is all about courage. They faced hardships with hope and problems with persistence. And, they have enriched Trinidad & Tobagos journey towards progress. pic.twitter.com/6Nyvta0qca Narendra Modi (@narendramodi) July 4, 2025 Modi said he brought a replica of the Ram temple and some water from the river Sarayu in Ayodhya. You all know that earlier this year, the world's largest spiritual gathering, the Maha Kumbh, took place. I have the honour to carry water from the Maha Kumbh also with me, he said. I request Kamla ji (prime minister) to offer the holy waters of the Sarayu River and Maha Kumbh to the Ganga Dhara here. May these holy waters bless the people of Trinidad and Tobago, he added. Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Trinidad and Tobago Modi said India is actively working on creating a comprehensive database of the Girmitiya community. The community comprised indentured labourers sent from British India to work on plantations in South Africa, Fiji, Mauritius and the Caribbean islands. In his address, the prime minister also highlighted the resilience of the Indian economy and its upward trajectory. India is the fastest-growing major economy in the world. Soon, we will be among the top three economies of the world. The fruits of India's growth and progress are reaching the most needy, he said. The prime minister said India has shown that poverty can be defeated by empowering the poor and that crores of people, for the first time, have developed the confidence that the country can be freed from poverty. Modi said India's growth is being powered by its innovative and energetic youth. Today, India is the third-largest startup hub in the world. Nearly half of these startups also have women as directors. Nearly 120 startups have got unicorn status, he said. National missions for AI, Semiconductor and Quantum computing are becoming the new engines of growth. In a way, innovation is becoming a mass movement, he noted. Modi also showcased India's Unified Payments Interface (UPI), saying it has revolutionised digital payments. Nearly 50 per cent of the world's real-time digital transactions take place in India. I congratulate Trinidad and Tobago for being the first country in the region to adopt UPI. Now sending money will be as easy as sending a good morning' text message! And I promise, it will be faster than West Indies bowling, he said. The prime minister also outlined India's rapid development and transformation in the fields of infrastructure, defence and manufacturing.

Chennai artisans craft twin pure-gold swings worth Rs 12 crore for Ram Lallas Shravana ritual
LUCKNOW : In a dazzling new addition to the opulent offerings at the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Temple in Ayodhya, two intricately designed 24-carat gold jhoolas (swings), crafted by Chennai-based artisans, will soon be used to ceremonially seat Ram Lalla during the auspicious month of Shravana beginning July 11. Each swing weighs approximately 5.5 kg and together they are valued at an estimated Rs 12 crore. The twin jhoolas, created with exquisite precision and devotion, are among the most ritually significant artefacts added to the temple's already lavish collection. The latest addition to the glittering trove of donations enhances the temples grandeur even further. Notably, the sanctum sanctorum is adorned with 42 gold-coated doors, a majestic throne featuring Lord Ram, Goddess Sita, his four brothers and Lord Hanuman; and several other sacred items including crowns, bows, arrows, chhatras and the kalash atop the temples spire, all of which have captured public and media attention since the consecration. According to sources from the temple trust, the jhoolas have been designed in consonance with traditional Vaishnavite aesthetics, featuring lotus-petal-shaped borders, Shankh and Chakra motifs, and delicate floral filigree. The seats are suspended by elaborately carved chains and framed by miniature temple mandapa pillars. Each swing is equipped with cushioned red velvet seating inset with gold brocade. Temple officials said the swings were handcrafted by veteran artisans from Chennai, who have upheld a prosperous lineage of over 200 years in temple craftsmanship, under the guidance of master goldsmiths. The craftsmen drew inspiration from the descriptions in the Valmiki Ramayana, incorporating a blend of traditional repouss techniques, hand-chasing, gem-studded detailing, and modern design precision. Aside from their ornamental appeal, the swings bear deep ritual significance as they are designed for Ram Lalla (the child form of Lord Ram) to be ceremonially seated and gently swung during the holy month of Shravana. As per the rituals, the ornate swings will be installed in the sanctum sanctorum for daily ceremonial use. This act is believed to renew the spiritual bond between devotees and the deity, creating an immersive devotional experience enhanced by rhythmic movement and melodic bhajans. According to Champat Rai, General Secretary of the Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust, the twin jhoolas are more than just ornaments; they are offerings of deep devotion. Their construction by master craftsmen from Chennai brings traditional artistry to Ayodhya, adding to the temples sanctity. We look forward to their use during Shravana as Ram Lalla partakes in the cherished ritual of swinging, he said. Rai confirmed that the twin swings were worth Rs 12 crore, reflecting the depth of devotion among the donors. According to temple trust sources, the temple has thus far utilised approximately 45 kg of gold, worth around Rs 50 crore, for the doors and throne of Lord Ram. The first golden door, measuring 12 feet high and 8 feet wide, was installed on January 10, 2024. Eventually, a total of 46 doors are planned, with 42 being gold-plated using about 100 kg of gold. Unlike the doors and other artefacts, the jhoolas are unique in their function and proximity to the deity, they are not static showpieces but active participants in daily rituals during Shravana. With the holy month approaching, the temple conservatory is finalising installation and ceremonial protocols. The swings will be maintained under temperature-controlled conditions to preserve their golden lustre. Daily aarti rituals with Ram Lalla on the jhoola will be conducted throughout the month, accompanied by devotional singing and temple processions.

Ahead of Polls, Bihar CM announces trust for Maa Janaki Temple at Punaura Dham
PATNA: In a significant move ahead of the Bihar Assembly elections, Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Sunday announced the formation of a dedicated trust to accelerate the construction of the Maa Janaki Temple at Punaura Dham in Sitamarhi district. The temple, revered as the birthplace of Goddess Sita, will be developed on the lines of the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh, with a vision to establish it as a prominent religious and tourist destination of national importance. Speaking about the redevelopment project, Nitish Kumar said that the detailed design plan for the grand temple complex at Punaura Dham had been finalised. Sharing images of the proposed design on social media platform X, the Chief Minister stated: I am very happy to inform you that the design of the grand temple and other structures for the holistic development of Jagat Janani Maa Janakis birthplace, Punaura Dham, Sitamarhi, is now ready. A trust has also been formed to expedite the construction work. The proposed plan includes a majestic 151-foot-high temple structure, broad walkways, and extensive green landscaping, aimed at enhancing both the spiritual and aesthetic experience for devotees. Punaura Dham is considered the most sacred site after Janakpur in Nepal for followers of the Hindu faith, and holds deep religious significance as the birthplace of Maa Sita. The development initiative gains additional significance in light of the consecration of the Ram Temple in Ayodhya earlier this year. Devotees from the Janaki Temple had participated by offering sacred gifts during the Pran Pratishtha ceremony in January 2024. Reiterating his demand to the Centre, Nitish Kumar once again urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to expedite the completion of the Ram-Janaki Marg, which will connect Ayodhya and Sitamarhi. He also called for the introduction of a Vande Bharat train between the two spiritual centres. The Bihar government has committed to acquiring nearly 50 acres of land surrounding the temple to facilitate the development project. Sufficient funds have already been allocated for the timely completion of the ambitious endeavour.

People of Tamil Nadu will defeat Sangh Parivar politics, says VCK chief Thirumavalavan
MADURAI: People of Tamil Nadu will defeat the politics of religion which is practised by Sangh Parivar in northern states, VCK chief Thol Thirumavalavan said. Speaking after taking part in a human chain protest organised by the Madurai Federation for Religious Harmony on Thursday to oppose the Murugan Maanadu, Thirumavalvan said through the protest, people of TN are conveying to the world that they are against religious politics. In northern states Sangh Parivar used religious politics to divide people. They are testing the same in Tamil Nadu. Since 1992, after the Babri Masjid issue, Sangh Parivar has been trying to rake up a controversy in Thiruparankundram and spread hatred against Muslims, he said. BJP leaders like H Raja have made statements that they will convert Tamil Nadu into Ayodhya. But people of Tamil Nadu will never allow it, Thiruma said. He added Now they are making another attempt to woo Mukulathur community by organising the Murugan Maanadu. They will not succeed. We are not against the programme but are worried it will be used by Sangh outfits to unleash violence and destroy brotherhood among people.

Ayodhya police bust Rs 3.85 crore Ram Lalla Prasad scam, mastermind arrested
LUCKNOW: Ayodhya Police busted one of the biggest cyber scams in the history of the temple town involving an online fraud of Rs 3.85 crore carried out in the name of Ram Lalla's prasad. Exploiting the spiritual fervour among devotees following Ram Lallas consecration on January 22, 2024, the accused, posed as a professor at Northeastern University in Seattle and lured lakhs of devotees through a fake website offering Ram temple prasad delivered to their doorsteps. The scam was orchestrated by Ashish Singh, originally from Windsor Park, Indirapuram in Ghaziabad, and currently residing in the United States. He launched a fake portal, khadiorganic.com, just weeks before the 2024 consecration ceremony, collecting orders from over 6.3 lakh domestic and international devotees between December 19, 2023, and January 12, 2024. Ashish Singh was offering free delivery of prasad, temple replicas, and commemorative coins of the Ram temple. However, he charged a facilitation fee of Rs 51 from Indian users and USD 11 from overseas devotees. Through his website, Singh collected payments via multiple digital gateways, including Yes Bank, Paytm, PhonePe, MobiKwik, and IDFC, amassing Rs 10.49 crore in transactions, with Rs 3.85 crore of which was for prasad delivery alone, while the rest came from sales of other items. The scam came to light when Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust noticed suspicious online activity and flagged it to the Ayodhya Cyber Crime Unit. A criminal case was promptly registered under IPC Section 420, IT Act Section 66D, and Section 12(3) of the Passport Act, 1967. Ashish, seemingly confident of managing the fallout, returned to India on January 13 this year and travelled to Ayodhya, perhaps with the motive of some kind of negotiations or for a cover-up. But cybercrime cell sleuths arrested him upon his arrival and later presented him as the mastermind of the online fraud. The police recovered a laptop, two iPhones, Rs 13,970 in cash, USD 16, and a slew of identity and banking documents, including US and Indian ID cards, debit cards, a driving licence from Washington, and a health card. As per the Ayodhya police sources, in a cyber recovery operation, Ayodhya Police successfully refunded Rs 2.15 crore to 3,72,520 victims. Recovery efforts for the remaining Rs 1.70 crore are still underway, said the sources. Praising the cyber cell personnel for their swift and methodical response to the scam, Ayodhya SSP Gaurav Grover said it was a scam built on faith. The accused exploited peoples religious sentiments. However, our teams timely action ensured that faith wasnt betrayed entirely, he said while talking to the media. In recognition of their work, the cyber team was rewarded with Rs 15,000. Meanwhile, the Ayodhya Police urged the citizens to exercise caution, especially while making online payments related to religious services, and to verify the authenticity of any such schemes before paying the money. This case is a lesson in digital vigilance, said SSP Grover, adding that faith should never come at the cost of caution.
Consecration ceremony of Ram Darbar held in Ayodhya; CM Yogi leads rituals
LUCKNOW: The three-day consecration ceremony of Ram Darbar, wherein, Lord Ram was enthroned as king with Goddess Sita by his side and brothers, Bharatji, Shatrughanji and Lakshmanji, along with Lord Hanuman, in his Darbar on the first floor of the newly-built Ram temple on Shree Ramjanmabhoomi complex, concluded in Ayodhya on Thursday. Lord Rams enthronement took place in the 15-minute auspicious Abhijeet Muhurat between 11:25 am and 11:40 am in the presence of UP CM Yogi Adityanath amid chanting of vedic mantras and performance of final rituals by 101 high priests who had converged for the occasion in Ayodhya from across the country. In fact, the rituals towards the consecration ceremony had commenced on Tuesday, June 3. The final phase of the ceremony lasted around 45-50 minutes as the puja had started at 11 am. CM Yogi, who had his 53rd birthday on Thursday, spent the day in Ayodhya leading the puja and performing the aarti of Ram Lalla in the Sanctum Sanctorum on the ground floor of the temple. After the rituals in the sanctum sanctorum, the CM reached the first floor of the temple for Pran Pratishtha of Ram Darbar and led the rituals there as well. On the occasion, Dr Anil Mishra, member of the Shree Ram Janmabhoomi Teertha Kshetra Trust and host of the ceremony, was also present along with his wife Usha Mishra. Additionally, Govind Dev Giri, a member of the Trust, felicitated Yogi Adityanath. After the rituals, CM greeted the select people who were invited to the ceremony. Earlier, he also offered prayers at the Hanuman Garhi Mandir in Ayodhya as a part of his schedule to attend Pran Pratishtha. Expressing his gratitude, the CM took to X and wrote about being a part of the Pran Pratishtha ceremony. Today, in the holy birthplace of Lord Shri Ram, Ayodhya Dham, I am getting the great fortune of becoming a witness to the programme organised for the Pran-Pratishtha of the holy idols of deities in the eight temples including Shri Ram Darbar on the first floor of Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Temple, he said in the post. He also called the occasion a new expression of 'Ek Bharat-Shrestha Bharat' and a victory for Lord Ram. Sharing the details of the event, Shri Ram Janmabhoomi Teerth Kshetra Trust posted on X that the first day of the ceremony involved rituals initiated in Yagyashala, specially curated for the event. These rituals continued on the second day as well in which various Anushthans and the Utsav Vigrahas were taken on a Parikrama of the mandir premises. Along with Ram Darbar, the consecration of idols of Lord Shiva, Lord Ganesha, Lord Hanuman, Lord Surya, Goddess Bhagwati, Goddess Annapurna, and Sheshavtar in seven other temples on the premises also took place. It may be recalled that the consecration of Ram Lalla (child form of Lord Ram) in the sanctum sanctorum on the ground floor of the temple had taken place with much fanfare in the presence of PM Narendra Modi and a galaxy of dignitaries from across the globe on January 22, 2024. Moreover, the ornaments which adorned the idols consecrated in Ram Darbar were made in gold, precious stones and gems, were donated by a Surat-based businessman, Mukesh Patel. The ornaments, including 11 crowns, necklaces, earrings, forehead tilaks, bows and arrows, which bejewelled the idols, included a 1000-carat diamond, 30 kg of silver, 300 gms of gold and 300 carats of rubies. As per the temple trust sources, the ornaments were brought to Ayodhya through a chartered plane and handed over to the temple trust. Unlike the first consecration ceremony to which over 3000 guests were invited, for the second consecration, the temple trust had invited 350 guests, including the trust members, saints and seers from across the country.
Gujarat's glittering tribute to Lord Ram: Priceless diamond-ornament set reaches Ayodhya
As the sacred city of Ayodhya reverberates with chants and devotion during the grand Prana Pratishtha Mahotsav at the Ram Darbar, a remarkable gesture from the Diamond trading hub of Surat has added celestial splendor to the celebrations. In an offering marked by deep faith and dazzling opulence, Surat's jewellers have gifted a stunning collection of gold, silver, and diamond-studded ornaments to the Ram Janmabhoomi Temple. The divine set, custom-crafted for Lord Shri Ram and Lord Lakshman, features a fusion of precious gems and traditional design. According to the details shared by Dinesh Navdiya (GJEPC Former Chairman of Gujarat), the ornaments incorporate 1,000 carats of high-grade diamonds, 300 carats of rubies, 30 kilograms of pure silver, and 300 grams of gold all meticulously shaped into regal adornments befitting the deities. The ensemble includes an ornate forehead tilak, earrings, a signature necklace, four large necklaces, three miniature bows, eleven crowns, and three intricately designed maces (Gada), specially conceptualized to enhance the divine aura of Ram Lalla and Lakshman. Each piece is symbolic, not only in craftsmanship but also in its spiritual intent meant to magnify the majesty of the gods at this historic moment. The precious consignment was flown directly from Surat to Ayodhya via a chartered aircraft, ensuring both security and sanctity in its transportation. Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) National Treasurer Dinesh Navadiya, along with Mukesh Patel of Surat's prominent jewellery house Green Lab, personally accompanied the ornaments to the Ram Janmabhoomi Temple Trust. This heartfelt donation by Surats business community not only underlines the citys devotion to Lord Ram but also elevates the grandeur of the Prana Pratishtha festivities, which mark a spiritual milestone in the temples history. As thousands of devotees gather in Ayodhya, the arrival of these divine jewels adds a radiant chapter to the celebrations symbolizing unity, devotion, and the timeless bond between faith and artistry.

Yogi cabinet approves 20% quota for Agniveers in UP police, highest in any state
LUCKNOW: The Uttar Pradesh government on Tuesday announced 20% reservation for Agniveers in the direct recruitment process for various positions in government jobs including police constable, mounted police, fireman, and PAC constable. The decision was taken at a meeting of the state cabinet, presided over by UP CM Yogi Adityanath here. The Agniveers, after completing their stint in the Indian Army, will also get a relaxation of three years in age while applying for these jobs. However, only those who are permanent residents of Uttar Pradesh will be eligible for this benefit. Briefing media persons after the cabinet meeting, UP Finance Minister Suresh Khanna said that other states like Haryana and Odisha, and forces like CISF and BSF, had the provision of 10% reservation for Agniveers, making UPs offer the highest so far. The first batch of Agniveers is expected to be available for recruitment by 2026. Highlighting the state's efforts to provide meaningful post-service opportunities to Agniveers completing their four-year term under the Agnipath scheme, Khanna explained that the reservation would be applicable across all categories, including general, SC, ST, and OBC. This is a significant decision. The reservation will be applicable across categories general, SC, ST, and OBC. If an Agniveer belongs to the SC, the reservation will apply within SC category; if OBC, then within OBC category, he elaborated. Recruitment under this new reservation policy will cover four categories: constable police, constable PAC, mounted police, and fireman. The first batch of recruits through this reservation system is expected to be inducted by 2026. Khanna said this initiative seeks to ensure that Agniveers continued to contribute significantly to the state's security infrastructure even after their military service. The Agnipath scheme, introduced by the central government in 2022, aimed at short-term induction of personnel into the Army, Navy and Air Force, seeks to reduce the age profile within these services. Uttar Pradesh's new policy is in alignment with this central scheme, further facilitating the continued contribution of Agniveers. This reservation move would provide Agniveers concrete opportunities to integrate into civilian roles within the state's security apparatus. Khanna added that it not only recognised their service but would ensure that they continue contributing to the nations security infrastructure after their military stint. The policy is expected to set a precedent and possibly influence other states to reassess their approaches towards reserving positions for former Agniveers, said the UP Finance Minister. The other major decisions taken at the cabinet meeting included Uttar Pradesh Bed & Breakfast (B&B) and Homestay Policy 2025 to boost religious and heritage tourism. Under this policy, residences with 1 to 6 rooms could be licensed for homestays. Moreover, a district-level committee headed by the district magistrate will handle the licensing process. Visitors can stay up to seven days at a time, with a longer stay requiring notification. Licence fees would range from Rs 500 to Rs 3500. The scheme will be implemented in major religious and tourist cities like Ayodhya, Mathura-Vrindavan and Varanasi. Annapurna Bhawans for ration distribution To improve the Public Distribution System (PDS), the cabinet approved the construction of Annapurna Bhawans across all districts. These 484 sq. ft. buildings will be vehicle-accessible and allow ration dealers to sell additional food items. So far, 3,524 buildings have been built in rural areas and another 2,000 are under construction. The target is to construct 75 buildings in each district annually. A budget of Rs 266 crore has been allocated. Khanna said the funds would come from MGNREGA, MP/MLA funds, and development schemes like Bundelkhand and Purvanchal Funds.

IATA hails growth of India's aviation sector, flags global challenges
NEW DELHI: India's aviation sector is in sharp ascent, driven by robust government support and aggressive expansion by airlines such as IndiGo and Air India, said Willie Walsh, Director General of the International Air Transport Association (IATA). Speaking at the IATA Annual General Meeting here on Monday, Walsh praised Indias proactive approach. The aviation sector has been accorded much priority in India with investments by the government as well as airlines like IndiGo and Air India, he noted, contrasting it with the cap of 32 million passengers at Dublin Airport. Such artificial caps like that being in Dublin should not be enforced. IndiGo CEO Pieter Elbers highlighted Indias integrated growth model, with second airports planned for Delhi and Mumbai. Every rupee invested in aviation gives a return of Rs 3, every dollar gives three dollars in return. A single job created in aviation creates six jobs in other areas, he said. Elbers added that India, now the worlds fourth-largest economy, is set to surpass Germany by 2027. Aviation is an integral part of economic growth, he said and urged for aster development of MRO (Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul) infrastructure. On geopolitical tensions and closed airspace, Walsh said the sector remains adaptable. When airspace is closed, airlines will quickly adapt and find alternative routes. He raised concern over blocked airline funds in some countries. The profit margins are just 3.7%, and no airlines can afford to have funds trapped in the hands of the government, he warned. Walsh cast doubt on the 2050 net-zero carbon goal. Fuel companies are passing on the burden to airline companies... but are not adhering to the mandate, he said. IATA economist Marie Thomsen said that the sector earned $36 billion in 2024just 3.7% marginlargely from passengers. Fuel remains the biggest cost, at 26%. Each Middle East passenger brought in $27.2, versus just $1.3 in Africa, she said, citing uneven growth. 'India creating infra at an unparalleled pace' No other country in the world was creating infrastructure at the pace India was doing with nine airports and three metro rail networks being built every year, said Amitabh Kant, G20 Sherpa and former CEO of NITI Aayog. Taking part in a panel discussion on India: A case study in connectivity driving development, Kant said this was in addition to 30 km of road and 12 km of rail network being built on a daily basis. The country presently has 150 airports and it would go up to 400 airports in the future and this would connect three-fourths of the country. The demographic dividend was a big plus for India, he pointed out. By 2040, India will have 30% of the skilled manpower in the world. It would become like what Japan was in the seventies. Top professionals in the hotel industry would emerge from India, he said. The tariffs imposed by the Trump administration and the conflicts across the globe were impacting the industry, Kant added. Radhika Gupta, MD and CEO, Edelweiss Asset Management Limited, called for creating Region to Region connectivity and City to City connectivity. However, she cautioned against creating ghost airports like the ones in Pragyaraj and Ayodhya which were developed grandly for the Kumbh Mela but are not having much patronage presently.
