Hindon airport is No.1 in country by recording a 3000 per cent increase in patronage over last year
NEW DELHI: The latest Air traffic data released by the Airports Authority of India (AAI) is a shot in the arm for Hindon airports ambitions to enter the big league. Located just 30 km from Delhi in Uttar Pradeshs Ghaziabad, the Indian Air Force owned airfield has clocked 1, 22,381 flyers in November 2025 versus just 3,950 flyers in November 2024. This marks a 2,998% growth over its past, marking the highest improvement among all airports in the country. Multiple reasons have contributed to this amazing turnaround, particularly for an airport which is permitted operations only from sunrise to sunset daily due to military restrictions. Airport Director Chilaka Mahesh told this newspaper, Initially we only had Star Air operating here which was connecting our airport to Nanded, Adampur and Keshod under the UDAAN Scheme. Air India Express and IndiGo have commenced operations here since March and July respectively this year. They connect key cities and traffic has been on the rise since then and we now have 25 departures and 25 arrivals on an average daily. The Airport Director said, Public in the Delhi-NCR and Western UP clearly prefer travelling via Hindon as they do not have to commute in the traffic upto Indira Gandhi International Airport to reach other cities. An Air India Express spokesperson said, Our operations from Hindon commenced on 1st March 2025. We connect to 9 direct destinations from Hindon Bengaluru, Bhubaneshwar, Chennai, Goa, Jaipur, Kolkata, Mumbai, Patna and Varanasi. We have 47 departing flights weekly. In a statement, IndiGo said it had 40 weekly departures from Hindon and all operations were carried out using A320 aircraft. IndiGo has daily flights between Hindon and Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Mumbai, Kolkata apart from six weekly flights from Hindon to Chennai and Patna. Among the key developments this year was the incorporation of the SITA network for its ticketing centre. Rapido and Buzzway cab operators are functioning while Ola and Uber cabs have recently been allocated parking bays here. Increasing the parking slots for aircraft here would help improve the patronage further, Mahesh added. We had another round of talks with Defence authorities last week. We require 34, 500 square meters of their land to increase our parking slots to six from the present two. AAI began operations at this airport, built at a cost of Rs 46.6 crore, from October 11, 2019, largely to facilitate UDAAN operations.

Bihar minister Ashok Choudharys assistant professor appointment withheld amid UGC probe
PATNA: Bihar Education Minister Sunil Kumar on Monday clarified that the appointment of his ministerial colleague and Janata Dal (United) leader Ashok Choudhary as assistant professor has been withheld as an investigation is underway into some discrepancies in the relevant file. The probe is being conducted by the University Grants Commission (UGC). The process of posting candidates will begin after receiving the inquiry report from the UGC, the minister said, adding that the report is still awaited. Although the minister did not disclose the reason for withholding Choudharys appointment, authoritative sources said that his educational certificates mention his name as Ashok Kumar, while the affidavit submitted to the Election Commission shows his name as Ashok Choudhary. This discrepancy led to confusion. As a result, the matter has been referred to the UGC seeking its opinion, a senior officer of the state education department said, adding that further action will be taken based on the UGCs report. Choudhary is among 274 candidates whose names were shortlisted for appointment as assistant professors in political science. The candidates were interviewed, and results were declared in June this year. The vacancy was advertised in 2020, yet successful candidates have not been posted. If the process moves as expected, Choudhary will join as an assistant professor in the Department of Political Science at Patliputra University. He will resign from his post as Minister of State for the Rural Works Department. Meanwhile, Congress spokesperson Asit Nath Tiwari raised questions over Choudharys doctorate degree (Ph.D) from Magadh University, Bodh Gaya. I have doubts over his doctorate degree. It should be verified properly and without any pressure from the powers that be, he told the media. Earlier, Leader of Opposition in the Bihar Assembly Tejashwi Prasad Yadav also questioned the authenticity of Choudharys educational qualifications. When did he appear for the examination? Did anybody see him in the examination hall? People would like to know, he said. Dismissing allegations, Choudhary said that he completed his masters degree from Patna University in 1991 and was awarded a Ph.D from Magadh University, Bodh Gaya, in 2005. His political career began with Congress, and he later became state president of the party. In 2018, he quit Congress and joined Nitish Kumars JD(U). He was elected legislator from the Barbigha Assembly constituency twice and is now a member of the State Legislative Council. He is also considered close to Chief Minister and JD(U) supremo Nitish Kumar. The appointment of Choudhary as an assistant professor while serving as a minister in the Nitish Kumar cabinet has raised many eyebrows.

PATNA: Bihar Polices Economic Offences Unit (EOU) has formed a dedicated intelligence unit to curb the alarming rise in cybercrime, as 1.10 lakh complaints have been received and scammers have cheated people of nearly Rs 500 crore in the state this year alone. The specialised intelligence unit has been tasked with gathering inputs on cybercriminals and their networks, enabling swift and technologically advanced action, distinct from conventional investigation methods. The unit has conducted an in-depth study of cybercrime patterns and cracked down on several organised gangs. ADG (EOU) Nayyar Hasnain Khan said the intelligence team is tracking suspicious mobile numbers, websites, URLs and digital transactions to trace the source of cybercrime. With the cooperation of telecom companies, around 9,300 mobile numbers and about 4,000 IMEI numbers used in cyber offences have been blocked so far, he said. The EOUs intelligence unit is also receiving crucial assistance from the Pratibimb portal, a GIS-based software module developed in collaboration with the Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre (I4C) under the Union Home Ministry. The portal helps police and law enforcement agencies track the identity, location and networks of criminals based on online complaints registered on the National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal (NCRP). Using technical inputs from Pratibimb and in-depth analysis of mobile data, the EOU launched a special drive under Cyber Prahar, during which 171 cybercriminals were arrested. Patna, Nawada, Sheikhpura and Nalanda have been identified as cyber fraud hotspots in Bihar. In a major breakthrough, Patna Police recently busted a 13-member cybercrime gang and arrested its kingpin, Rahul Kumar, a resident of Vaishali district, on December 26. Rahul, an engineer by profession, is accused of duping people of around Rs 55 crore over the past year. During interrogation, he revealed that the gang had spread its network across several districts in Bihar and even outside the state. Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP), Patna, Kartikey Sharma said Rahul left his job after finding cyber fraud to be more lucrative. He initially contacted private agents of banks and developed links with them. These agents helped him open mule bank accounts into which the cheated money was transferred, the SSP said, adding that Rahul and his associates would be taken on police remand for further interrogation. Meanwhile, the EOU headquarters referred more than 5,600 cases to cyber police stations across the state this year, leading to the arrest of over 1,000 cybercriminals. Additionally, more than 24,100 online complaints related to social media and other cyber offences were addressed. According to Bihar Police data, scammers have cheated people of nearly Rs 500 crore so far, of which Rs 106.30 crore has been held or frozen in suspicious bank accounts. However, only around Rs 7.36 crore has been refunded to victims to date. The NCRP received 24.38 lakh calls related to cybercrime from Bihar this year, out of which 1.10 lakh cyber fraud complaints were formally registered.
