Maha: PWD floats tender to appoint Consultant for first ropeway project in Mulund
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Nov 9 (IANS) In a major step towards developing Mumbais first ropeway, the Maharashtra Public Works Department (PWD) has invited bids for the appointment of a consultant to prepare a comprehensive architectural design for the proposed ropeway connecting Mulunds foothills to Taramati Mata Temple inside Sanjay Gandhi National Park (SGNP). Mulund BJP MLA Mihir Kotecha, who had earlier demanded a ropeway connecting the foothills of Mulund to Taramati Mata Temple with the objective of boosting tourism in the area, on Monday confirmed the government's move. Welcoming the development, Kotecha said, During the 2024 election campaign, we had promised to develop a ropeway from the foothills of Mulund to Taramati Mata Temple, located atop the picturesque hills of Mulund, to promote tourism. It is heartening that the PWD has now floated a tender for the appointment of a consultant to prepare the architectural design of the project. This tender is not for a commercial ropeway from Mulund to Borivali. It is exclusively for a ropeway within Mulund, connecting the foothills to Taramati Mata Temple, which is located within the boundaries of Sanjay Gandhi National Park, he added. Dismissing misplaced speculation that the proposed ropeway would extend to Borivali, Kotecha clarified that the project would proceed only after the detailed design is finalised and all requisite clearances are obtained from the Centres forest and environment departments. Kotecha said the proposal also envisages an observatory at the hilltop, which would offer visitors panoramic views of Sanjay Gandhi National Park and the adjoining Tulsi Lake. We have proposed a beautiful observatory where tourists can seek the blessings of Taramati Mata Temple by taking the ropeway and also soak in the breathtaking views of Sanjay Gandhi National Park from the observatory. The entire proposal is aimed at boosting tourism not just in Mulund but across Mumbai. The city currently does not have a single ropeway, and this project will help promote tourism while showcasing the natural beauty of Sanjay Gandhi National Park and Tulsi Lake, he said. The scope of the tender includes identifying suitable ropeway alignments and locations, assessing land requirements, benchmarking international ropeway systems and conducting various engineering investigations. These will include topographical, geotechnical, geodetic, hydrographic and reconnaissance surveys. The appointed consultant will also be responsible for preparing the detailed ropeway alignment and system design, identifying the origin and destination stations, and estimating the overall project cost. The scope further includes assessing the project's social, environmental, forest and wildlife impacts, said the tender document.

Singer Adnan Sami has expressed his disappointment with the services at Mumbai Airport's Terminal 2, alleging negligence and unprofessional behaviour by the staff of its Pranaam service. The singer took to social media to share his experience, claiming that he and his team were subjected to poor treatment despite having used the service for several years. He also questioned the airport authorities' approach to handling customer complaints after receiving what he described as a generic response from their chatbot. Adnan Sami alleges negligence and rude behaviour by Mumbai airport staff Taking to X, Adnan shared a detailed account of his experience with the Pranaam service. He mentioned that he had been using the facility since its early days and expected a certain level of professionalism from the staff. However, he alleged that despite receiving a call from the team to confirm their arrival, no staff member was available to receive them at the airport. He further pointed out that the service was aware of their flight delay but failed to inform them in advance. Expressing his frustration, he wrote, Our flight was delayed by airindia five hours (which in itself was appalling!), a fact that Pranaam knew, but they only informed us after we had gone through the entrance security. Had they informed us beforehand, we would have easily avoided coming earlier to the airport & been sitting comfortably at home. Instead, because of their negligence and carelessness, we had to endure this long tiring wait at the airport. Shame on Pranaam Services at Mumbai Airport T2! As a long time client I have to share that my last experienceWellit was NOT good! To begin with, upon arrival no one was actively waiting to receive, even though they had called my staffs phone to confirm our arrival and not to speak of the fact that I am one of their earliest clients ever since this service began. Our flight was delayed by @airindia five hours (which in itself was appalling!), a fact that Pranaam knew, but they only informed us after we had gone through the entrance security. Had they informed us beforehand, we would have easily avoided coming earlier to the airport & been sitting comfortably at home. Instead, because of their negligence and carelessness, we had to endure this long tiring wait at the airport. Then, the female staff member assigned to us was completely rude! First, she was consistently on her mobile phone. When it was time to escort us from the lounge to the departure gate, she failed to show up. Instead she sent the porter. When asked where she was, the porter had no clue! We were take by buggy and when we arrived at the gate, the porter had to search for her, and he found her sitting in a corner, AGAIN, engrossed in her mobile phone chatting away! Only when she was reprimanded, did she hang up! There was a huge crowd lined up and she had no clue where to take us to fast track us through to the First/Business class section which was actually empty but she had no clue! We had to navigate ourselves through it all! Due to this huge crowd at this gate which was difficult to handle, there was chaos simply because this girl didn't bother to do her homework. When she was reprimanded again, instead of being apologetic, she tried to snap back, for which she was immediately shut down. Extremely bad conduct and disappointingly unprofessional! This is the 2nd time Pranaam has misbehaved. You charge for these services and have a monopolistic attitude which is extremely arrogant, infinitely annoying & egregiously disrespectful! Im once again extremely disappointed in the staff for this incident! @CSMIA_Official @AdaniOnline @gautam_adani @AAI_Official @Pib_MoCA Adnan Sami (@AdnanSamiLive) November 8, 2026 The singer also raised concerns about the conduct of the female staff member assigned to assist them. According to Adnan, she was repeatedly occupied with her mobile phone and failed to turn up when it was time to escort them from the lounge to the departure gate. Instead, a porter was sent to accompany them. Sharing further details, he wrote, Then, the female staff member assigned to us was completely rude! First, she was consistently on her mobile phone. When it was time to escort us from the lounge to the departure gate, she failed to show up. Instead she sent the porter. When asked where she was, the porter had no clue!

When she was reprimanded again, instead of being apologetic, she tried to snap back, for which she was immediately shut down. Extremely bad conduct and disappointingly unprofessional! (sic) Adnan further revealed that this was not the first time he had encountered such issues with the service. He questioned the attitude of the staff towards paying customers and said that people opting for the facility deserved professional assistance. He added, This is the 2nd time Pranaam has misbehaved. You charge for these services and have a monopolistic attitude which is extremely arrogant, infinitely annoying and egregiously disrespectful, he added. Adnan Sami takes a dig at Mumbai Airport's chatbot response The singer's disappointment did not end with his experience at the airport. After sharing his complaint, he received a response from Mumbai Airport's official social media handle, which he felt was generic and failed to address the concerns he had raised. Calling out the automated response, Adnan wrote, Nothing more annoying than to get a standard template & patronising response to a complaint that one has filed, from a BOT! That adds insult to injury!! He also questioned the formality and language used by the chatbot while responding to customers. Taking another dig at the airport authorities, he added, Also, if you lack the manners, then at least program some manners into your BOTS how to address clients formally Were on first-name basis? Really?? Concluding his post, the singer expressed his displeasure in Hindi, writing, Kuch Tameez aur Tehzeeb seekhiyay..Hadd hai!(Learn some manners and etiquette. This is ridiculous!) Through his post, Adnan highlighted his dissatisfaction with both the assistance provided by the Pranaam service and the airport's response to customer grievances.

Bhumi Satish Pednekkar raises concern over post-Diwali air pollution: The AQI is hazardous
Bhumi Satish Pednekkar has raised concerns over the deteriorating air quality following Diwali celebrations, drawing attention to the health risks associated with firecracker pollution. With several cities witnessing a rise in pollution levels after the festival, the actor highlighted how poor air quality, noise pollution and firecracker waste affect not just people but also animals. She particularly emphasised the vulnerability of children, senior citizens and those with respiratory conditions. Delhi has been among the worst-affected cities, with the Air Quality Index (AQI) entering the 'severe' category in several areas. Several people have expressed concern over the situation, and Bhumi also took to social media to highlight the consequences of firecracker use. On Monday morning, the actor shared a detailed note on Instagram, reminding people that Diwali is meant to be a celebration of light, love and togetherness. However, she pointed out that the festivities are often followed by worsening air quality and other environmental concerns. Her post read, Diwali is a festival of light, love, family and new beginnings. But every year, along with the celebrations, comes a familiar aftermath: polluted air, firecracker waste, noise and frightened animals. Firecrackers release fine particulate matter and other pollutants that add to an already challenging air-quality situation. And the impact isnt experienced equally. Children, older people, those with respiratory conditions and animals are particularly vulnerable. This year, lets make a choice that allows everyone including the ones who cannot speak for themselves to enjoy the festival. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Bhumi Satish Pednekkar (@bhumisatishpednekkar) The actor also expressed her disappointment over the continued bursting of firecrackers during the early hours of Monday. Around 3 am, she shared another Instagram story, describing the situation as heartbreaking and pointing out the impact of celebrations on public spaces and the environment. Houses have caught fire, The AQI is hazardous, Roads are full of waste, Its 3 am and all I can hear are loud crackers. Our roads were full of people bursting crackers on them, Out in the open, even when it's not allowed. This is heartbreaking. @my bmc mumbaipolice, Bhumi posted. Meanwhile, monitoring data indicated elevated pollution levels across several parts of Mumbai. Kherwadi-Bandra East recorded an AQI of 264, followed by Sewri at 226, Ghatkopar at 221 and Chembur at 216. Byculla registered 193, while Mindspace-Malad West recorded 191, Kandivali West 187 and Worli 148. Kurla reported a comparatively lower AQI of 96. In Uttar Pradesh, Lucknow also witnessed a layer of smog, with several areas waking up to hazy conditions following the celebrations. According to the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB), an AQI between 0 and 50 is classified as 'good', 51-100 as 'satisfactory', 101-200 as 'moderate', 201-300 as 'poor', 301-400 as 'very poor' and 401-500 as 'severe'. Amid the deteriorating conditions, Stage III measures under the Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP) remain in force following the Commission for Air Quality Management's (CAQM) decision. The restrictions include additional pollution-control measures, stricter enforcement and directions to concerned agencies to prevent further deterioration. The emergency action plan covers Delhi and adjoining districts of Haryana, Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan. It is implemented as a precautionary measure based on weather and pollution forecasts issued by the India Meteorological Department (IMD) and the Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology (IITM), allowing authorities to take preventive action before the overall AQI reaches the 'severe' category.

Maha: Shiv Sena demands probe into Sunil Tatkares role in Ajit Pawars crash
Digital Desk | Mumbai, Nov 9 (IANS) A massive political storm has erupted in Maharashtra following serious allegations made by Shiv Sena leader Ramdas Kadam against NCP (Ajit Pawar faction) leader and state president Sunil Tatkare. Kadam on Monday demanded a high-level inquiry into whether Tatkare had any hand in the tragic plane crash that claimed the life of former Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar. Ajit Pawar's flight took off from Mumbai to Baramati, but as the aircraft was landing at the Baramati airstrip, it met with a horrific accident resulting in his death. Following this tragic incident, political blame-shifting has intensified. Launching a scathing attack during the Diwali festival, Ramdas Kadam linked Sunil Tatkare directly to Ajit Pawar's fatal crash, demanding an investigation. Kadam went on to make explosive remarks about Tatkare's past and ambitions. Sunil Tatkare is a demonic person. He cannot be loyal to anyone. He used to be the Personal Assistant (PA) to A R Antulay saheb, and he finished him off too, he claimed. Whoever gets close to Tatkare, he works to destroy them. I have heard that he himself wanted to become the Deputy Chief Minister. Therefore, an investigation must be conducted from the angle of whether Tatkare had a hand in Ajit Pawar's fatal crash. His ambitions are monstrous, and he can do anything to fulfil them, alleged Kadam. Kadam also targeted Tatkare's political standing, stating, During the Khed-Dapoli elections, I worked shoulder to shoulder with Tatkare. At that time, people used to tell me not to work for him, as he is a traitor. Tatkare doesn't even have the standing to speak against me. However, Sunil Tatkare has vehemently rejected all the allegations made by Ramdas Kadam, calling them entirely baseless. He stated that he would address the media in a formal press conference to present his side. NCP national spokesperson Umesh Patil also responded to Kadams remarks, saying, Ramdas Kadam has made allegations against Tatkare in the past as well. Tatkare has been working in the Konkan region for the last 40 years, building the party against the Shiv Sena. Therefore, this should be viewed as a local-level political conflict. Patil said Kadam should have spoken with evidence and termed his charges baseless. The war of words between Shiv Sena and the NCP has brought the underlying tensions within the ruling Mahayuti alliance in Raigad district to a boiling point. Congress leader Vijay Wadettiwar has also jumped into the controversy, stating that since Ramdas Kadam has made such grave accusations against Tatkare, an inquiry should be initiated. The insults hurled by Kadam deeply offended Ajay Birvatkar, a Zilla Parishad member and Sunil Tatkares brother-in-law. Following a prior dispute regarding seating arrangements at a foundation-stone laying ceremony for the Poynar dam in Khed, Birvatkar took to social media to fire back. He posted, When a person's downfall begins, such frantic ranting follows. Even if one has the ambition to touch the sky, one's feet must remain on the ground. However, if self-respect is hurt, the market will be dismantled, issuing a sharp warning that signals an escalation of the feud between Tatkare and Ramdas Kadam.

Bhumi Pednekar flags hazardous AQI, fires and cracker waste in Mumbai after Diwali
Bhumi Pednekar flags hazardous AQI, fires and cracker waste in Mumbai after Diwali
Digital Desk | Guwahati/Agartala, Nov 9 (IANS) After Assam, the Northeast Frontier Railway (NFR) has begun introducing electric train services on a full-fledged basis in Tripura following the successful completion of several trial runs of electric locomotives in the state, officials said on Monday. On July 4, the NFR introduced the first-ever Mainline Electric Multiple Unit (MEMU) train service in the Northeast region, connecting Tripura with southern Assam. Train number 20502 Anand Vihar--Agartala Tejas Rajdhani Express ran successfully on electric traction from end to end last week, an NFR official told IANS. He said that, in a phased manner, long-distance express trains hauled by electric locomotives would now be operated in Tripura, making it the second state in the Northeastern region after Assam to have such services. Equipped with modern passenger amenities, the MEMU train has a carrying capacity of 3,600 passengers and connects Agartala with Karimganj in neighbouring Assam. The NFR official said that the train, which was earlier operating as a Diesel Electric Multiple Unit (DEMU), has now been successfully upgraded to a Mainline Electric Multiple Unit (MEMU), marking a significant technological advancement following the electrification of the railway route. Unlike DEMU trains, MEMU services operate on electric traction, making them more environmentally friendly, energy-efficient and economical to operate. According to NFR officials, the environment-friendly MEMU train is equipped with several modern passenger amenities, including LED lighting, 12 stainless steel coaches, bio-toilets, a GPS-based passenger information system displaying details of the next station and platform, a public address system, CCTV surveillance, and several other advanced facilities. Tripura Power Minister Ratan Lal Nath told IANS that the Tripura State Electricity Corporation Ltd. (TSECL) has completed 100 per cent electrification of the state's 271-km railway network. He recalled that the first train reached Dharmanagar in northern Tripura in 1964, while it took another 44 years for railway connectivity to reach the state capital, Agartala, in 2008. Rail connectivity was further extended to Sabroom in southern Tripura in 2019, marking another significant milestone in the expansion of the state's railway network. Nath said that after Narendra Modi assumed office as Prime Minister in 2014, the broad-gauge conversion project in Tripura was completed, replacing the earlier metre-gauge railway line. He also noted that the international railway link connecting Agartala with Akhaura in Bangladesh was completed in 2023. The present state and Central governments are committed to ensuring development and accelerating the state's progress, Nath had said. The broad-gauge railway network from Churaibari, along the Tripura-Assam border, to Sabroom, near the India-Bangladesh border, now spans 271 km. All related development and expansion works were completed within seven years, the minister said. Under the Centres Amrit Bharat Station Scheme, redevelopment work is currently underway at four railway stations in Tripura -- Agartala, Udaipur, Kumarghat, and Dharmanagar. Tripura is currently connected to several major cities in the country, including Delhi, Kolkata, Mumbai, Firozpur, and Patna, through various long-distance express train services. Meanwhile, the Lumding-Badarpur mountainous section in Assam is the only rail link connecting Tripura, Mizoram, Manipur, and southern Assam with the rest of the country, making it one of the most vital and strategically important railway corridors in the Northeast.

Letting Arshdeep Go Won't Fix PBKS' Bowling Woes: Aakash Chopra
Give Nehal Wadhera: Former India opener Aakash Chopra has said that releasing Arshdeep Singh would do nothing to strengthen the bowling department of Punjab Kings, which he called the franchises weaker department heading into IPL 2027. IANS reported on November 3 that with PBKS being front runners to get Hardik Pandyas services, Arshdeep would move to Mumbai Indians (MI) as part of the trade deal. Arshdeep has been PBKS since IPL 2019 and his wicket-taking exploits with them paved his way into the Indian team. If you have made up your mind to let go of Arshdeep, then youre not addressing that problem. Youre not strengthening that department. Arshdeep Singh, all said and done, took 21 wickets in 17 matches in 2025 at an economy of 8.9. This year, he was expensive, no doubt, but he still took 14 wickets in 14 matches, with an economy over 10. But these days, when 200 is the norm, 10 is still acceptable. So, to be able to let him go, there should be enough quality bowlers to replace him as well and bowling is still their weaker suit, Chopra said on JioStar. He also felt that if PBKS are looking to bolster their fast bowling stocks, then 2022 champions Gujarat Titans will be the ideal side, considering they have a large pool of fast bowlers. They should get in conversation with Gujarat Titans, actually. Give Nehal Wadhera or Shashank Singh or Suryansh Shedge, one of these middle-order, lower-middle-order batters which GT want, and take a fast bowler from them. Theyve got a plethora of them, a factory of fast bowlers. Maybe an Ashok Sharma or even a Gurnoor Brar; theyve got plenty to actually dispense with. Punjab can let go of a couple of these middle-order batters, which not all teams have the luxury of. He also felt that if PBKS are looking to bolster their fast bowling stocks, then 2022 champions Gujarat Titans will be the ideal side, considering they have a large pool of fast bowlers.
