Rs 9,802 Cr metrolite dream returned to J&K: Sanjay Sapru demands answers
Srinagar, Oct 03: Congress leader Sanjay Sapru has questioned the return and rejection of the Jammu and Srinagar Metrolite proposals from New Delhi, saying the projects have lost nearly a decade since they were first proposed, while public money was spent on preparing Detailed Project Reports (DPRs) and the estimated cost continued to rise. Projects worth Rs 9,802 crore remained stuck since 2017 and have now been returned and rejected. Public money was consumed, valuable years were lost and the cost of the projects mounted with every passing year, Sapru said. Revisiting the history of the projects, Sapru said the original 2017 heavy metro proposal envisaged a 58-km network at an estimated cost of Rs 15,881 crore but was subsequently rejected by the Centre. Fresh DPRs were thereafter prepared by RITES Ltd, Gurgaon, in 2023 under the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs Metrolite Guidelines of 2019. The proposed Srinagar corridor, he said, stretched 25 km from HMT to Indira Nagar with 24 stations at an estimated cost of Rs 5,733 crore, up from Rs 4,892 crore in 2021. The Jammu corridor covered 23 km from Bantalab to Bari Brahmana through 22 stations at an estimated cost of Rs 4,069 crore. Sapru said that despite the preparation of fresh DPRs, both proposals remained pending with the Ministry from 2023 and were eventually sent back without final approval, leaving the projects without a definite implementation timeline. He also questioned the expenditure incurred on preparing the DPRs and related exercises. According to him, around Rs 8.50 crore was spent on DPR preparation, apart from expenditure on TA/DA and official exposure visits. He recalled that between 2016 and 2021, visits were undertaken to metro systems in Delhi, Kochi and Lucknow, while experts from the Japan International Cooperation Agency also visited Jammu and Srinagar to assess a proposal that had earlier been conceived for Japanese funding. Kochi made its metro operational in less than five years. Some may offer excuses in the name of disturbances, but the real question is why the project could not move forward despite nearly a decade having passed since its conception, Sapru said. The Congress leader said the delay had also resulted in a significant increase in the estimated cost of the Srinagar project, which rose by around Rs 840 crore in two years. Sapru said the issue was not limited to the fate of the two proposed projects but also involved the public expenditure incurred during the process and the opportunity cost of delaying a mass-transit system for Jammu and Srinagar. He said the estimated Rs 9,802-crore projects now required clarity on their future, including whether fresh proposals would be prepared and whether the Metrolite concept would be revived. The people of Jammu and Kashmir have already paid the price in lost time, public expenditure and cost escalation. There must now be clarity on what happens to the projects, the money already spent and the years lost, Sapru said.

Bengal: SER announces 19 pairs of special trains for festive rush
Digital Desk | Kolkata, Oct 2 (IANS) With the festive season approaching, South Eastern Railway (SER) has announced a number of special trains to clear the passenger rush. These trains will be run between various locations before Durga Puja, Diwali and Chhath for the convenience of passengers. Coaches have also been added to regular trains to increase capacity. SER will run 19 pairs of special trains. These will make 344 trips during the festival season. In addition, one pair of special trains operated by other zonal railways will also run through SER's network. We have also added 30 coaches permanently to various trains, further enhancing passenger-carrying capacity and strengthening the availability of accommodation on regular services, an official said. The special trains will originate from stations such as Shalimar, Santragachi, Digha, Ranchi, Hatia and Adityapur, and will run towards Charlapalli, Visakhapatnam, Khurda Road, Ajmer, Naharlagun, Puri, Thiruvananthapuram, Malda Town, Anand Vihar, Bano, Alipurduar, Bengaluru, Mumbai and Lucknow. A lot of planning was involved, the official said, adding that reservation details had been studied to understand where people from a particular place wanted to travel. The trains were decided accordingly. SER had run 19 special train services during the festive season in 2025. These trains had made 356 trips. Subsequently, eight pairs of these special trains were regularised as permanent services, providing passengers with continued connectivity beyond the festival season. In addition, 28 special trains from other zones passed through SER's jurisdiction. In 2025, as many as 74 coaches were augmented on a permanent basis on various regular trains to meet the additional demand. These arrangements will help those travelling to tourist destinations during the festival season, as well as those returning home from their places of occupation, the official said. He added: Hopefully, these arrangements will be sufficient. If required, further arrangements can be made depending on demand.

'Opportunity to forget past mistakes': SP chief welcomes those willing to defeat BJP
Digital Desk | Lucknow, Oct 2 (IANS) Samajwadi Party (SP) President Akhilesh Yadav on Friday said he would welcome leaders from rival camps, willing to join the opposition's efforts to defeat the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), into his party, saying that elections are a time to forget past mistakes. Interacting with reporters here, the SP chief said: This is the time for Rajya Sabha elections, and elections are a time for coming together. It offers an opportunity to forget past mistakes, stand with others, and stand up for principles. If anyone feels that our democracy, our Constitution, and our country's economy are under attack, due to rising inflation, E20 being blended into petrol -- if they believe these are wrong decisions (by the Centre), then...it is a time to come together before the Rajya Sabha and (Assembly) elections. That is why we should forget all bitterness during this time, he added. Those who have been deviated from their path, those of our friends who want to join us...we will forget everything that took place in the past. Akhilesh Yadav also came out in support of the INDIA bloc's proposed 'Save Democracy' march even as the BJP-led NDA continues to criticise him for skipping the opposition alliance's recent meeting in New Delhi. Everyone should unite to 'Save Democracy'. Together, we must come forward to save this beautiful country, its rich history of democracy, and our Constitution, he said. He also launched an attack on Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath-led government over flooding issues being faced by those residing in areas near the Gomti River. I am saddened by the fact that many families living along the banks of the Gomti River are facing a crisis. There has been waterlogging in the area for months. This government is asleep. Those who wanted to create smart cities and clean the rivers ended up cleaning out the budget, but the rivers remain uncleaned, he said. On Gandhi Jayanti, Akhilesh Yadav underlined that Mahatma Gandhi showed us the path of truth, non-violence and taught us the spirit of sacrifice. Father of the nation, Mahatma Gandhi ji worked towards fostering goodwill, brotherhood, and mutual love in society, and he forced the British to leave India. Today, on his birth anniversary, as we remember Mahatma Gandhi ji's contributions, we take a resolve to work towards fulfilling his goal -- to ensure that the last person, the poorest person, is connected to the mainstream, he said.

Mayawati hits out at Akhilesh Yadav over RS candidates, says SP deceiving PDA
Digital Desk | Lucknow, Oct 2 (IANS) Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) national president Mayawati on Friday targeted the Samajwadi Party (SP), accusing it of practising nepotism and money-driven politics and alleging that the partys actions contradict its claims of representing socialism and PDA. Mayawati also questioned the SPs selection of its Rajya Sabha candidates, Professor Ram Gopal Yadav and Dhanraj Parimal Nathwani. The SP filed nominations for both candidates on September 30 for the biennial Rajya Sabha elections from Uttar Pradesh. In a post on social media platform X, Mayawati said the BSP does not give election tickets to family members, relatives or wealthy individuals, irrespective of whether the election is big or small. Instead, she claimed, the party fields hardworking Ambedkarite activists from poor, middle-class and weaker sections of society. The BSP, unlike opposition parties, especially the Samajwadi Party, does not give tickets to family members, relatives, siblings, nephews or close associates, or particularly to big capitalists and wealthy individuals in any election. It does not depend on their financial power. Instead, it nominates hardworking Ambedkarite individuals from poor, middle-class and weaker sections as candidates, Mayawati said. She alleged that the BSPs approach represented politics free from nepotism and money power, while accusing the SP of 'political pretence and deception' by presenting itself as a socialist and PDA-based party. Mayawati said the SPs decision to renominate Ram Gopal Yadav was another example of what she described as the partys 'dual policy'. She referred to him as a close relative of SP chief Akhilesh Yadav. She also questioned the nomination of Dhanraj Parimal Nathwani as the SPs second candidate, referring to him as a member of a prominent business family. Mayawati further claimed that the SPs third candidate, as in previous elections, could be a candidate who would 'save face' despite having little prospect of winning. This is the nature of the SP, its PDA and its socialism. The SP needs the votes of the PDA during elections, but its MPs and MLAs are largely elected by members of its own family and big capitalists, Mayawati said. She urged voters not to be misled by what she described as the SPs 'PDA' politics. Mayawati further alleged that the SP had followed a similar political approach in the past and accused the party of maintaining a dual policy, character and face. She appealed to members of the communities she referred to as the 'Bahujan Samaj', including Dalits, Adivasis, most backward classes, Muslims and other religious minorities, as well as poor sections of upper-caste communities, to remain 'alert and cautious' ahead of the Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections. In fact, this is nothing new; rather, the SP has always had this kind of dual policy, character, and face, and that is why, especially the poor from upper-caste society and the entire 'Bahujan Samaj' -- meaning Dalits, Adivasis, most backward classes, Muslims, and other religious minority communities -- should now, particularly before the UP Assembly general elections, become fully alert and cautious that their interests lie and are secure only in the Ambedkarite BSP; everything else is nothing but deception, she said.

'Learning by Doing' initiative gains momentum in Uttar Pradesh, over 500 PM SHRI schools to benefit
Digital Desk | Lucknow, Oct 1 (IANS) 'Learning by doing', a one of its kind initiative, to educate and engage children in various participatory and practical activities inside the classrooms is gaining momentum across scores of Pradhan Mantri Schools for Rising India (PM SHRI) schools in Uttar Pradesh, with the state government laying emphasis on not just educational mindset but wholesome development of children. The initiative seeks to take the education beyond the confines of textbooks and expose the children with experimentation, activities, and practical experiences. Yogi Adityanath-led Uttar Pradesh government has decided to strengthen the 'learning by doing' concept in about 586 upper primary and composite PM SHRI schools selected for the academic year 2024-25 and has taken several measures towards its fruition. To facilitate this, consumables and raw materials will be procured at a cost of Rs 2.34 crore, with a budgetary limit of Rs 40,000 set for each selected school, the Uttar Pradesh government said in a press statement. This initiative will ensure the availability of necessary resources for activity-based teaching in 586 PM SHRI schools, offering children greater opportunities to learn through experiments and hands-on experience alongside textbook-based knowledge. Speaking about the unique concept in classrooms, Minister of State for Basic Education Sandeep Singh said, Through 'Learning by Doing', the children will get opportunities to learn via experimentation and experience. Our endeavour is to make the learning process engaging, participatory, and aligned with the children's curiosity. Through 'learning by doing', students will have the opportunity to understand subject matter via activities, experiments, and direct experiences rather than merely reading about it. The provided consumables and raw materials will be used to make activity-based teaching effective in schools, enabling children to become active participants in the learning process. The objective of this initiative is to make the classroom learning process more active and experiential. Students will be able to grasp subject matter by observing, experimenting, and participating in activities and this is also expected to bridge the gap between textbook knowledge and practical experience while making the learning process more intuitive and engaging. Besides ensuring optimum usage of materials in schools, the Education department will monitor documentation of activities while emphasis will also be placed on integrating insights gained from previous activities into future initiatives.
Akhilesh Yadav keeps on changing PDA formula: O.P. Rajbhar on SP's Rajya Sabha nominations
Digital Desk | Lucknow, Oct 1 (IANS) Uttar Pradesh Minister and Suheldev Bharatiya Samaj Party (SBSP) President Om Prakash Rajbhar said on Thursday that Samajwadi Party (SP) Chief Akhilesh Yadav was changing the framework for PDA (Pichhda, Dalits and Alpsankhyak) repeatedly. Rajbhar was referring to two candidates placed by the Samajwadi Party for the upcoming Rajya Sabha elections in Uttar Pradesh. Pichda, Dalit, and Alpsankhyak (backward classes, Dalits, and minorities/Muslims) is a political acronym and social coalition floated by Akhilesh Yadav. Akhilesh Yadav keeps changing the PDA formula from time to time. Yesterday, he came up with the formula of a PDA family. 'P' now stands for 'Parivaar', Rajbhar said, referring to Ram Gopal Yadav. On Wednesday, SP leaders Ram Gopal Yadav and Dhanraj Parimal Nathwani filed their nomination papers for the Rajya Sabha from Uttar Pradesh. SP Chief Akhilesh Yadav and senior party leader Shivpal Yadav were present when the two candidates filed their nominations. Incidentally, Ram Gopal Yadav is the late Mulayam Singh Yadavs cousin and uncle to current Samajwadi Party Chief Akhilesh Yadav. 'D' stands for the 'Daulat', referring to Dhani Ram, who is affluent, Rajbhar said. Now, only 'A' remains, and he will bring in some criminal to represent it. The new PDA formula stands for 'Parivaar', 'Daulat' and 'Apradhi', he added. Coming heavily on Akhilesh Yadav and Samajwadi Party, Rajbhar said that Akhilesh Yadav has insulted the Muslim leaders of his party. To the Muslim leaders of his party -- Loaders not leaders of the Samajwadi Party -- Akhilesh ji has thrown a shoe at them, the SBSP Chief added. Taking a jibe at Akhilesh Yadav being indirectly connected to the Bharatiya Janata Party, Rajbhar claimed that the SP Chief has threatened his leaders that if they say anything they will be ousted from the party. If the father (Akhilesh Yadav) is a BJP's Rajya Sabha MP then the son (Akhilesh Yadav) will be too, the SBSP Chief told IANS. The SP had earlier announced Ram Gopal Yadav and Dhanraj Nathwani as its nominees for the Upper House from Uttar Pradesh. Their candidature comes ahead of the biennial elections for 10 Rajya Sabha seats in the state. Uttar Pradesh Minister Om Prakash Rajbhar criticised the SP's candidate selection and took a jibe at Akhilesh Yadav's PDA strategy. Earlier too, on social media, Rajbhar questioned whether the SP's proposed candidates would represent its PDA formula, referring to the party's emphasis on backward classes, Dalits and minorities. Akhilesh ji, I have heard that you are going to field three candidates for the Rajya Sabha. Tell me, will all three be from your PDA or not? Rajbhar said. He referred to Ram Gopal Yadav as the first candidate and questioned how the remaining positions would fit into the PDA framework. He also alleged that the SP's approach could involve promoting family members, wealthy individuals and people facing criminal allegations. Rajbhar said that members of backward classes, Dalit communities and Muslim communities would want clarity on the party's strategy for sending candidates to the Upper House. He also advised Akhilesh Yadav not to risk securing two Rajya Sabha seats by attempting to win a third. The Election Commission had announced on September 22 that elections for 11 Rajya Sabha seats -- 10 from Uttar Pradesh and one from Uttarakhand -- would be held on October 16. The terms of the sitting members representing these seats are scheduled to end on November 25. The poll panel has also announced a bye-election for a Rajya Sabha seat in West Bengal. The upcoming elections will determine the new members for the seats falling vacant upon the completion of the current members' terms.

CM Adityanath felicitates police personnel, says UP was brought out of 'policy paralysis' after 2017
Digital Desk | Lucknow, Oct 1 (IANS) Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Thursday asserted that the state, which was earlier marred with riots and curfews, was brought out of policy paralysis after 2017. The Chief Minister made the remarks during the flag-off ceremony of 87 interceptor vehicles and medal presentation for police personnel in Lucknow. Addressing a gathering, CM Adityanath mentioned Inspector Sunil Kumar of the Uttar Pradesh Special Task Force (STF), who was posthumously awarded the Kirti Chakra, for his exceptional bravery during an encounter with members of the Mukim Kala gang in Shamli district. This is the first time that an officer of UP Police has been bestowed with the Kirti Chakra, he observed. He added that 16 other security personnel from the state have been awarded with the President's bravery medal and 10 UP Police personnel have been awarded with the Chief Minister's bravery medal. When technology is incorporated into thoughts and behaviour, it also delivers results. The identity that UP Police has built today is the result of this very thing, he stated. No matter who the person is, no matter how great they may be, no matter the pride of their position, if their security is removed, it won't take long for them to become a scared cat in an atmosphere of anarchy. Healthy thinking is possible only in a healthy environment...Therefore, the tagline of the UP Police is 'Your safety is our commitment', he added. CM Adityanath further said that UP Police is effectively carrying forward the state government's policy of 'zero tolerance' towards crime and criminals. The UP CM then referred to the historic Public Interest Litigation (PIL) filed in the Supreme Court of India in 1996 by former Director General of Police (DGP) Prakash Singh, along with co-petitioner N.K. Singh and the organisation Common Cause, seeking structural reforms to overhaul the colonial-era Police Act of 1861. He stated: Those reforms were first implemented in Uttar Pradesh. Moreover, according to the demands, we have so far made seven police commissionerates in the state. In a veiled attack on the previous Samajwadi Party government, CM Adityanath said: Before 2017, people were reeling under an identity crisis for hailing from Uttar Pradesh. I understand that the police faced challenges because if political leadership lacks the capacity to make decisions and has a weak backbone, how can it set the law-and-order situation, right? They (leaders) used to bow down before 'mafias'. The latter ruled every district of Uttar Pradesh. Police were compelled in front of them and no efforts were being made to bring reforms in the force, he alleged, adding that the state's police force had poor infrastructure and training facilities before 2017. Adding to the criticism of the previous regime, CM Adityanath further said: The state was marred with riots and curfews...Muzaffarnagar witnessed curfew for six long months. No one felt safe in the state. As a result of this Uttar Pradesh was being counted among 'sick' states. Despite being the largest state, it lagged behind in terms of economy, recruitments, technology, and implementation of welfare schemes for youth, women etc. People were left frustrated and disappointed. But things changed after 2017, the state was brought out of policy paralysis. We implemented police reforms here...Today, more than 14 lakh cameras have been put up across districts for security and investigation purposes. Integrated Command and Control Centres have also been created across districts, he added.

Prasidh To Miss Third ODI Against WI Due To Hamstring Injury, Kamboj Likely Replacement
Nitish Kumar Reddy: It is understood that India pacer Anshul Kamboj, who has been pulled out of the ongoing red-ball game between India A and Australia A is likely to be named as his replacement in the squad. In the ongoing days play in Puducherry, Kamboj was replaced by fast bowler Praful Hinge in the playing eleven. It is understood that India pacer Anshul Kamboj, who has been pulled out of the ongoing red-ball game between India A and Australia A is likely to be named as his replacement in the squad. In the ongoing days play in Puducherry, Kamboj was replaced by fast bowler Praful Hinge in the playing eleven. Prasidh is definitely not playing the third ODI due to the hamstring injury he has picked. He will now report to the BCCI Centre of Excellence in Bengaluru for further scans, and his recovery timeline will be drawn based on that. For now, Kamboj is likely to be his replacement, said a source familiar with the development to IANS on Thursday. Kamboj, who took 3-34 in 17.3 overs in the first innings, bowled just two overs in the second essay before departing Puducherry. Prasidh, who opened the bowling attack during India's eight-wicket victory in the second ODI at the ACA Stadium in Guwahati on Wednesday, walked off after sending down just five overs. After bowling a four-over opening spell, Prasidh bowled the 31st over before walking off the field and took no further part in the contest. His sudden exit forced the Indian team management to turn to part-time off-spin of Naman Dhir, who bowled 6.1 overs, though he himself briefly left the field earlier due to cramps. Both India and the West Indies are scheduled to reach Chandigarh on Thursday evening. Prasidh, however, will head directly to Bengaluru to report at the BCCI's Centre of Excellence (CoE) for detailed scans and rehabilitation. While Prasidh is not included in the upcoming five-match T20I series against the West Indies starting on October 6 in Lucknow, him picking a hamstring injury remains a key concern considering Indias multi-format tour of New Zealand features five ODIs and two Tests. Both India and the West Indies are scheduled to reach Chandigarh on Thursday evening. Prasidh, however, will head directly to Bengaluru to report at the BCCI's Centre of Excellence (CoE) for detailed scans and rehabilitation. Also Read: Special Cricket Stories Article Source: IANS
