15-Min Promise To Traffic Chaos: What Went Wrong With Delhis Barapullah Phase 3?
Delhis Barapullah Phase III was built to cut travel time between Mayur Vihar and South Delhi, but within days of its opening, the new corridor became a major traffic bottleneck. The six-lane stretch funnels multiple traffic streams into the older, narrower Barapullah network at Sarai Kale Khan, where eight to nine lanes reportedly converge into just three. Traffic from Mayur Vihar, the Sundial loop and DND side further adds pressure. Experts say the situation highlights the funnel effect, induced demand and Braess Paradox, where adding road capacity can shift congestion instead of eliminating it. The Delhi Traffic Police has also flagged inaccurate Google Maps traffic updates. Authorities are now considering a U-turn, road modifications and other short-term measures to ease the congestion.

94 Years Of The IAF: The Road Ahead For India's Air Arm
The Indian Air Force, raised in 1932 with four Westland Wapiti biplanes and five Indian pilots at Karachi, is now the world's fourth-largest air force. Its combat record runs from the Second World War and the wars with Pakistan and China to Siachen, Kargil, Balakot and Operation Sindoor. Today it is shifting from individual platforms to a networked force, built around the Integrated Air Command and Control System and growing unmanned capabilities. It also acts as a global first responder, as in Operation Amistad, when two C-17s flew 14,000 km to Venezuela. Its main challenge is numbers, with around 29 fighter squadrons against an authorised 42. Tejas Mk1A inductions and the proposed 114 Rafale purchase aim to address that.#IAF #Indianairforce #tejas #rafale #su30mki #mirage #94years #india #TOI
