Kumbh Mela a symbol of cultural and spiritual power: President Murmu
Digital Desk | Nashik, Oct 31 (IANS) President of India Droupadi Murmu, after the inauguration of the Nashik-Trimbakeshwar Simhastha Kumbh Mela 2026-28 on Saturday, said that she felt deeply happy and blessed to be present at the event. President Murmu hoisted the sacred flag and performed the ritualistic Ganga Pujan amidst the chanting of Vedic mantras at the holy Ramkund of the Godavari River. The ceremony was attended by the Governor of Maharashtra Jishnu Dev Varma, Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, Deputy Chief Ministers Eknath Shinde and Sunetra Pawar, along with other ministers, sadhus, and saints. Addressing the gathering on this occasion, President Droupadi Murmu said, I feel deeply happy to be here. I consider myself fortunate to participate in this grand ceremony. President Murmu mentioned that she had darshan at Trimbakeshwar and at the holy Kushavarta Tirtha. She highlighted that the Kumbh Mela is held at four places and is renowned worldwide as a symbol of cultural and spiritual strength. She noted that historical references show the Kumbh being celebrated as far back as 1,400 years ago. Describing the event, she said that the Kumbh Mela is a symbol of faith and social unity. I offer millions of bows (koti koti pranam) to this holy land. This is a land of penance (tapo bhumi), blessed by the footprints of Lord Shri Ram. I offer my respects to Mother Godavari, she added. CM Fadnavis stated that development work in Nashik is progressing at a rapid pace and that the appearance of Nashik and Trimbakeshwar is set to transform. He noted that while some people initially doubted whether the works would be completed, and although citizens faced temporary inconvenience, the development projects are now coming to fruition. CM Fadnavis remarked, The sadhus and saints are our masters; we are merely servants. Forgive us if any mistakes occur. We will leave no stone unturned to make this Kumbh Mela grand and glorious. The Nashik District Guardian Minister Girish Mahajan said that today was an extremely historical, auspicious, and proud day not only for Nashik and Trimbakeshwar, but for all of Maharashtra. Under the auspicious presence of President Murmu, the flag hoisting took place simultaneously at the sacred Ramkund in Nashik and the holy Kushavarta Tirtha in Trimbakeshwar. He noted, Nashik is a holy land blessed by the touch of Lord Shri Ram's feet, while Trimbakeshwar is one of the twelve sacred Jyotirlingas. Enriched by the origin of Mother Godavari, the legacy of the Ramayana, and the penance of saints and sages, this land is an extraordinary symbol of Indian spiritual and cultural tradition. Therefore, the Nashik-Trimbakeshwar Simhastha Kumbh Mela is not merely a religious gathering, but a global festival celebrating India's faith, culture, unity, and Eternal (Sanatan) tradition. Minister Mahajan also extended his sincere congratulations and thanks to all administrative officers, employees, the police force, and personnel across various agencies who worked tirelessly day and night to make this event a success.

PM Modi to virtually inaugurate Pune Metro Line-3 on Nov 4
Digital Desk | Pune, Oct 31 (IANS) In a major milestone for Pune city's public transport system, the long-awaited Pune Metro Line-3 (Maan-Hinjawadi to Shivajinagar) will be inaugurated via videoconferencing by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on November 4. Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, and Sunetra Ajit Pawar will grace the occasion as chief guests. The ceremony will take place at 10:30 AM at the Badminton Hall of the Shree Shiv Chhatrapati Sports Complex in Mhalunge-Balewadi. Actual passenger services on this line will commence at 6:00 AM on November 4, 2026. The Pune Metropolitan Region Development Authority Commissioner, Dr Abhijit Chaudhari, told reporters on Saturday that Pune Metro Line-3 is a 23.203-kilometre fully elevated metro corridor, popularly known as Puneri Metro and the Pink Line. Originating at Maan, the route passes through Rajiv Gandhi Infotech Park in Hinjawadi to connect with Shivajinagar, a major administrative and commercial hub of Pune. The total estimated cost of the project, including land acquisition and utility shifting, is Rs 8,313 crore. It has been executed on a DBFOT (Design, Build, Finance, Operate, and Transfer) Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model under the Central Governments 'National Metro Rail Policy, 2017'. As per the concession agreement with PMRDA, the project is being implemented by Pune IT City Metro Rail Limited (PITCMRL), a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) formed through a joint venture between TRIL Urban Transport Private Limited and Siemens Project Ventures GmbH. Out of the total 23 stations on this line, 17 stations will be opened to passengers starting November 3. Among these, seven stations will open with a single staircase operational. These include Station No. 1 (Maan), 2 (Maan-MIDC Circle Phase-2), 3 (Maan-Bus Depot), 5 (Hinjawadi Phase-2 Circle-1), 6 (Padmabhushan Chowk), 21 (College of Agriculture), and 23 (District and Sessions Court). The remaining ten stations will have both staircases open to commuters. These include Station No. 4 (Hinjawadi Phase-2 Circle-2), 7 (Shree Shiv Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Chowk, Hinjawadi), 8 (Hinjawadi Phase-1), 9 (Wakad Chowk), 10 (Shree Shiv Chhatrapati Sports Complex, Mhalunge), 11 (MITCON, Balewadi), 12 (R. K. Laxman Museum, Balewadi), 17 (Aundh), 18 (Sakal Nagar), and 19 (Savitribai Phule Pune University). Among the remaining six stations, work on Station Nos. 13 and 14 is in its final phase and will be completed by the end of November 2026. The remaining four stations (Nos. 15, 16, 20, and 22), along with their staircases, will be completed and commissioned in phases by January 2027. To ensure seamless onward travel after exiting the metro, multi-modal integration is being implemented. Dedicated pick-up and drop-off points are being set up right outside the stations for PMPML buses, rickshaws, app-based taxis (Ola, Uber), and e-bikes. Parking facilities for two-wheelers and four-wheelers are also being made available near metro stations to ensure safe vehicle parking. Priority has also been given to pedestrian and cyclist safety alongside road traffic. For this purpose, dedicated cycle tracks, wide footpaths, pedestrian crossings, and foot overbridges are being constructed. This will significantly help reduce traffic congestion, particularly in the Hinjawadi area, said Dr Chaudhari. The entire corridor has been inspected by the Research Designs and Standards Organisation (RDSO). Final safety approval was granted by the Commissioner of Metro Railway Safety (CMRS) on July 23, 2026, for the first phase of 12.60 km from Maan (PMR-1) to R. K. Laxman Museum, Balewadi (PMR-12), and on September 23, 2026, for the section covering the remaining five stations. For station security, 350 personnel from the Maharashtra State Security Corporation (MSSC) have been deployed. An advanced passenger information system and ticketing system have been developed to assist commuters with trip planning, station navigation, and a hassle-free travel experience. A joint mobile app has been developed for passengers travelling on both Maha Metros existing lines and the newly launching Metro Line-3. Under this project, a total solar power generation capacity of 7.60 MW has been installed6.10 MW at metro stations and 1.50 MW at the car depot. This green energy will fulfil nearly 30% of the project's overall power requirements. All trains on Pune Metro Line-3 will be operated by around 100 women train pilots. Furthermore, about 50% of the total station staff, including station controllers, ticketing staff, and station attendants, will be women. Chaudhari stated that this initiative underlines a strong commitment to women empowerment, gender equality, and increasing female participation in modern transport. The project will help ease daily traffic congestion in Hinjawadi IT Park, Aundh, Baner, Balewadi, Mhalunge, Ganeshkhind Road, and Shivajinagar. Around 2 to 2.5 lakh citizens will use this metro service daily.

ED raids Nagpur builder in connection with property fraud, seizes Rs 1.95 crore cash
Digital Desk | Nagpur, Oct 31 (IANS) The Directorate of Enforcement (ED) conducted raids at two locations in Maharashtra's Nagpur, which led to the seizure of unaccounted cash amounting to Rs 1.95 crore and the freezing of bank balances worth more than Rs 40 lakh, officials said on Saturday. The search operations were conducted under the provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA) on October 26 at two locations in Nagpur linked to Shashank Govind Prasad Pandey, proprietor of M/s Prayag Developers & Builders, an ED statement said. The searches led to the seizure of voluminous incriminating documents/records, digital devices, as well as unaccounted cash amounting to a total of Rs 1.95 crore and freezing of bank balances worth more than Rs 40 lakh. The search operations also resulted in the identification of several immovable properties, collectively valued at crores of rupees, suspected to have been acquired from the Proceeds of Crime, the officials added. According to officials, the ED investigation was initiated on the basis of an FIR registered at Ajni Police Station in Nagpur City, and Ranapratapnagar Police Station in Nagpur, for offences under Sections 418 and 420 of the Indian Penal Code, 1860. Investigation has revealed that Shashank Govindprasad Pandey is engaged in a series of fraudulent activities, causing wrongful loss to several innocent persons, officials said. They mentioned that in one instance, Pandey entered into a development agreement in respect of land owned by a senior citizen widow, under which he was obligated to pay Rs 1.75 crore and allot 14 residential flats to the complainant. Although the flats had been earmarked in her favour through a Declaration-cum-Correction Deed, the accused fraudulently cancelled the said deed without her knowledge or consent and subsequently sold the earmarked flats to third parties, the officials said. They mentioned that the sale proceeds, amounting to Rs 8.93 crore, were misappropriated and siphoned off for his personal gain. Additionally, an amount of Rs 45 lakh payable under the development agreement was withheld, resulting in an aggregate wrongful loss of Rs 9.4 crore to the complainant. In another case relating to the project Divya Prayag Apartment, the ED officials said that the investigation revealed that 22 flats had been mortgaged to Dewan Housing Finance Corporation Limited (DHFL) against a project loan of Rs 22 crores, out of which Rs 11 crore was disbursed. Pandey sold the mortgaged flats without obtaining the requisite No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the lender or disclosing the subsisting mortgage to the purchasers. He also allegedly submitted a false affidavit to the bank in connection with a home loan, concealing the existing mortgage, they said. Subsequently, according to the ED, outstanding dues amounting to Rs 12.84 crore were reported, and proceedings under the SARFAESI Act were initiated. The concealment and misrepresentation are suspected to have resulted in wrongful loss to the flat purchasers and corresponding wrongful gain to the accused, officials said. An investigation is underway, and further details are awaited.
