MoRTH to frame IRC guidelines after adopting new-age machines for faster highway construction
NEW DELHI: After the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) decided to adopt Automated and Intelligent Machine-aided Construction (AIMC) for highway development to ensure timely project completion, it announced that Indian Roads Congress (IRC) guidelines will be prepared based on feedback from contractors and concessionaires. The ministry has already sanctioned atleast 16 projects, where innovative machines will be used. According to the officials, Cabinet approval is awaited for 10 projects envisaged for implementation of AIMC system. With a significant growth in the national highways network including a significant increase in Greenfield and Brownfield highways with high embankments requiring a significant amount of earthwork and proper compaction in the last one decade, it has been felt appropriate to induct AIMC in highway construction, said officials. The decision to formally adopt the system was taken after evaluation of efficacy in a pilot; Lucknow-Kanpur Expressway Project, where in GPS-aided Motor Grader, Intelligent Compactor and Stringless Paver were used. The ministry also took into consideration the feedback from stakeholders and international guidelines and specifications. The ministry has also sought feedback on adoption of AIMC to formulate IRC guidelines, added officials. Officials added that the ministry would facilitate the concessionaire or contractor with the required license for the radio frequency range from the Department of Telecommunication (DoT) for the use of machines. The list of projects, which are already sanctioned, includes Western Bypass Gwalior (29 kms), 6-lane Greenfield Ludhiana Bypass (25 kms), Deoghar Bypass (49 kms), Shillong-Silchar Corridor (167 kms), Vrindavan Bypass (15 kms) and Patna-Arrah-Sasaram (125 kms) in Bihar. The projects which have been submitted for the Cabinet approval are Satellite Township Ring Road of Bengaluru (STRR) Karnataka (144 kms), BadveI Nellore Corridor (108 kms) in Andhra Pradesh, 4-lane access controlled Sirhind-Sehna section of NH-205AG (107 kms) in Punjab, and Nashik-Ahmednagar- Solapur-Akkalkot segment of the Surat-Chennai Expressway (374 kms). The ministry, in December, sought feedback from roads construction agencies, public work departments in states and union territories and other stakeholders on the proposal for adoption of the construction facilitated by innovatory. The benefits of AIMC are expected high adherence to design specification, improved rideability, performance durability and longevity and reduced wastage as well. The technology-driven construction also increases productivity, helps in real-time documentation, brings better transparency and minimises human interventions.

Hoax bomb call triggers tension at SHAR Centre in Sriharikota
NELLORE: A bomb threat triggered a high alert at the Satish Dhawan Space Centre (SDSC-SHAR) in Sriharikota on Sunday night. The Tamil Nadu Command Control Centre reportedly received an anonymous call alleging the presence of terrorists on the SHAR campus. Following the threat, security forces were swiftly mobilized. From the early hours of Monday, intensive searches were conducted across the SHAR premises. Teams from the Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) and local police combed the area thoroughly. Coastal security forces also carried out searches along nearby sea routes. After several hours of inspections, authorities concluded that the bomb threat was a hoax and attributed the call to mischief-makers. Security has been strengthened at SHARs first and second gates, with increased vigilance in surrounding villages. Mobile patrols have intensified surveillance along coastal areas to help avoid any potential security breaches. It may be noted here that SHAR received a similar threat call on May 9 this year. SHAR has been a critical hub for the ISRO, recently marking its 100th launch with the successful deployment of the NVS-02 satellite using the GSLV-F15 rocket on January 29, 2025.
Andhra irrigation dept official in ACB net for taking bribe
ONGOLE: Anti-Corruption Bureau (ACB) officials on Monday caught K Srinivasa Rao, a Senior Assistant at the Markapur Irrigation (Special Division) Office, red-handed while accepting a bribe of Rs 30,000 from contractor Y Srinivasa Reddy. The bribe was allegedly demanded for processing pending contractual bills. According to ACB officials, the complainant had completed irrigation works and requested Rao to forward his bills for approval. However, Rao allegedly demanded Rs 30,000 to move the files. When the contractor refused, the officer withheld the bills, insisting on the bribe. Fed up, Reddy lodged a complaint with the Ongole ACB. Following verification, ACB officials laid a trap. The contractor handed over the bribe to Rao in his office, where the ACB team apprehended him and seized the cash. A chemical test confirmed bribe traces on the accused, who was later arrested and will be produced before the ACB court in Nellore. ACB urged citizens to report bribery cases via Toll-Free No: 1064, email: complaints-acb@gov.in, or phone: 94404 40057.

Andhra cops seize Rs 3.6 crore in highway theft case
NELLORE: Police in Marripadu have cracked the high-profile case involving the theft of Rs 4.5 crore in cash from a vehicle in Nellore district. Two days after the incident, a car bearing Madhya Pradesh registration was traced near the Singanapalli forest area in Marripadu mandal. Based on leads, police detained four suspects for questioning. During interrogation, the accused reportedly confessed to stealing the money. Officers recovered Rs 3.6 crore stolen amount from the suspects. The case unfolded when a businessman from Ahmedabad entrusted a driver and his aide to transport Rs 4.5 crore in cash from Delhi to Chennai for business purposes. As the vehicle entered Nellore district along the Vijayawada National Highway, the cars GPS signal was lost. Repeated attempts to reach the driver and aide failed as both had switched off their phones. Sensing foul play, the businessman lodged a complaint with the Marripadu police. Acting swiftly, police traced the vehicle near Marripadu and discovered custom-built lockers inside. The car was seized and taken to the Marripadu police station as part of the probe. Following an investigation, four individuals suspected to be involved were apprehended. Authorities are continuing efforts to recover the remaining cash and are probing whether additional persons were part of the heist.
Lemon prices crash, worried Nellore farmers and traders seek government intervention
NELLORE: Lemon prices have declined sharply over the past week, leaving farmers and traders in distress. Lemon is now being sold at just Rs 20 to Rs 30 per kg, marking a steep fall in prices. During the peak season, as many as 20 truckloads of lemons used to be exported daily to northern states, bringing bustling activity to the local markets. However, the once-thriving trade is now facing a dramatic slump. In Nellore district alone, lemon crop is cultivated in over 17,000 hectares. Podalakur lemon market yard, known for its high quality produce, supplies lemon to both national and international markets. Gudur lemon market also plays a key role in large scale exports. Traders are now expressing concern over the sudden market collapse. With exports coming to a halt, they are still compelled to purchase the incoming produce from farmers, despite the lack of demand. Even though there are no buyers in the export market, we have to continue procuring lemon from farmers, said a local trader, reflecting the growing anxiety in the lemon business community. The unexpected downturn is affecting not only the income of lemon growers but also the sustainability of the supply chain. Stakeholders are urging authorities to intervene and explore avenues to revive the export market or provide relief measures to stabilise prices. Traditionally, lemon is exported in large volumes from Andhra Pradesh, especially from major markets like Podalakur, Gudur, Eluru and Tenali, along with dozens of small yards. However, lemon cultivation has expanded significantly in other States like Karnataka, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu and Bihar this year, resulting in higher yield and overproduction. Combined with a bumper harvest from local orchards in Andhra Pradesh and Telangana, a massive supply of lemon is now flooding the markets. According to sources, wholesale buyers from cities such as Delhi, Mathura, Roorkee, Varanasi, Gokalpur, Chennai, Bengaluru and Thiruvananthapuram have issued advisories not to send any more lemon consignments, citing excess stock. Some are even rejecting the lemon consignments already sent to them, leaving local traders in a bind. As a result, prices have plummeted, but traders are unable to refuse lemon produce brought in by farmers. This has led to lemon being stockpiled across market yards, with no immediate buyers in sight. We are in a terrible situation. Truckloads of lemons are arriving at the market. We cant turn farmers away during such a difficult time, but there is little hope for price recovery. The crisis is real. Only if exports pick up again can we survive this phase, said BK Reddy, a trader at Podalakur lemon market yard. With no signs of relief from the ongoing supply, and stagnating demand, both farmers and traders are now urging the government to intervene with support mechanism or facilitate export channels to stabilise the market.

Increased MSP for Kharif crops
NEW DELHI: The Union Cabinet on Wednesday approved a hike in the Minimum Support Price (MSP) for the 2025-26 Kharif season and extended the interest subvention scheme for farmers. It also approved two multi-tracking railway projects in Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh, as well as a four-lane highway project in Andhra Pradesh. The Cabinet approved a hike in paddy MSP by three percent or Rs 69 per quintal to Rs 2,369 for the 2025-26 Kharif season and up to nine percent rise in rates of pulses and oilseeds, according to Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw. The cost to the exchequer of the MSP decision is Rs 2,07,000 crore, and continuation of the subvention scheme will cost Rs 15,642 crore. The announcement comes amid the southwest monsoon reaching earlier than usual, giving a boost to the sowing of kharif crops, which contribute over 50 per cent of Indias total annual foodgrain production. Under the Modified Interest Subvention Scheme (MISS) for 2025-26, farmers will continue to receive short-term credit at an affordable rate through the Kisan Credit Card (KCC). The continuation of the scheme will cost exchequer Rs 15,640 crore, the Minister said. Under MISS, farmers get short-term loans of up to Rs 3 lakh through KCC at a subsidised interest rate of 7 percent, with 1.5 percent interest subvention provided to eligible lending institutions. Additionally, farmers who repay loans promptly are eligible for an incentive of up to 3 percent as the Prompt Repayment Incentive (PRI), effectively reducing their interest rate on KCC loans to 4 percent. However, for loans taken exclusively for animal husbandry or fisheries, the interest benefit is applicable up to Rs 2 lakh. No changes have been proposed to the structure or other components of the scheme, which covers over 7.75 crore KCC accounts in the country. On the infrastructure front, the government approved over Rs 7,000 crore for various projects, including a four-lane road project on the Badvel-Nellore National Highway in Andhra Pradesh, the four-laning of the 135-km Wardha-Ballarshah rail line in Maharashtra, and the 41-km Ratlam-Nagda line in Madhya Pradesh. The two railway multi-tracking projects, costing approximately Rs 3,399 crore, will add about 176 km to the existing Indian Railways network across four districts in Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh, he said. He stated that the rail projects will enhance line capacity, enabling faster and seamless movement of passengers and goods, and improve connectivity for approximately 784 villages with a combined population of nearly 19.74 lakh. The Badvel-Nellore project in Andhra Pradesh will cost Rs 3,653.10 crore for the construction of a 108.134-km 4-lane highway corridor under the Design-Build-Finance-Operate-Transfer model. This corridor will connect important nodes on the Visakhapatnam-Chennai, Hyderabad-Bengaluru and Chennai-Bengaluru industrial corridors and provide strategic access to the Krishnapatnam Port, he said.
Andhra four-lane corridor receives cabinet approval
The 108.134 km, four-lane Badvel-Nellore Corridor on national highway (NH) 67 will be built on design-build-finance-operate-transfer (DBFOT) mode. It will provide connectivity to important nodes in the three industrial corridors of Andhra Pradesh-Kopparthy node on the Vishakhapatnam-Chennai Industrial Corridor, Orvakal node on Hyderabad-Bengaluru Industrial Corridor and Krishnapatnam node on Chennai-Bengaluru Industrial Corridor-and will have a positive impact on India's Logistics Performance Index, said a government statement.
