EV charging points must for all new housing societies

EV charging points must for all new housing societies

Time of Indiaa day ago
Lucknow: All new group housing projects in Lucknow will now have to reserve 20% of their parking space exclusively for electric vehicles. Charging points and required infrastructure must be provided in these designated slots.
This provision is part of the revised building bylaws being implemented under Awas Bandhu, aimed at integrating EV infrastructure into the city's residential developments.
"This step is intended to encourage low-emission transport and support the shift towards sustainable mobility," said a senior Lucknow Development Authority (LDA) official. Moreover, the LDA is preparing to launch a series of residential projects in Gomti Nagar, Aishbagh and Basant Kunj.
The scale and configuration of these projects will be based on responses to an online demand survey that remains open until July 31, 2025.
Designs are being revised to prioritise better cross-ventilation and reduce dependency on air conditioning. Floor plans will include larger kitchens, washrooms and balconies, and more structured green zones will be included in each housing complex.
LDA chairperson and divisional commissioner Roshan Jacob recently reviewed these housing proposals and directed officials to make the designs more functional and resident-friendly.

According to LDA vice-chairperson Prathamesh Kumar, the identified plots include 4.5 acres in Viraj Khand (Gomti Nagar), 3.5 acres near Rapti Apartments (Gomti Nagar Extension), 4.65 acres on Mill Road (Aishbagh), and 3.7 acres in Sector-J (Basant Kunj), all with access to schools, hospitals and public transport. The upcoming units will offer 2BHK and 3BHK options with improved layouts, provision for natural airflow, and dedicated drying spaces.
Each site will include common facilities like lifts, parking, water systems, gym, pool, yoga space, children's play area and clubhouse. Officials have been instructed to keep the pricing below current private-sector rates and to increase the tree cover.
Site plans for Varun Vihar (Agra Expressway) and Naimish Nagar (Sitapur Road) were also reviewed, with instructions to incorporate mixed-use elements—residential, commercial, and logistics—to align with regional growth.

11 deaths in 3 years: Why Pachgaon Chowk is one of Gurgaon most dangerous spots

Gurgaon: Traffic cops have identified 23 conflict points at Pachgaon Chowk, one of the city's most notorious blackspots that has witnessed 11 fatalities and 12 injuries in 19 accidents between 2021 and 2024. The traffic engineering centre has highlighted how the junction's complex layout, combining high-speed highway traffic with slow-moving local vehicles, creates a deadly mix. The most recent tragedy occurred on June 21, when a Delhi Police head constable died and five others were injured after a Rajasthan Roadways bus overturned while trying to avoid crashing into a car. The report, prepared under DCP (traffic) Rajesh Mohan's supervision, identifies the junction as particularly hazardous because of its location at the median gap of NH-8 and its intersection with the Western Peripheral Expressway. The area's mixed land use, with Panchgaon village on one side and undeveloped land on the other, further complicates traffic movement.

Trucks, the report says, are a major cause of collisions at this location, involved in six of 9 fatal accidents in these three years. They often make U-turns towards Delhi and Ajmer to avoid a cloverleaf, using the median gap to save 1.2km and increasing the risk of collision with straight-moving traffic. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Your IQ Is 140 If You Can Answer 10 of These Questions Correctly. IQ International Undo Buses also lack an alternative entry to the village, frequently using the median gap. Bus stopping to pick up and drop passengers on the main carriageway also pose considerable risks, who are forced to cross the road against high-speed traffic. Another major concern is wrong-side movement of two-wheelers, accounting for 37% of traffic violations. Traffic from Pachgaon village and the Delhi side often moves against the flow, particularly towards Pukharpur. An underutilised underpass for pedestrians and two-wheelers, located 200 metres from the median gap, is often avoided because of its poor maintenance and difficult access. The report notes that 82% of Delhi-bound traffic moves straight, while 11% attempts U-turns, creating dangerous situations. The report proposes limiting the U-turns of trucks at the median gap by installing a 4-metre height barrier. It also advises extending the median on the service road by about 20 metres to minimise complicated manoeuvres. The report calls for shifting bus stops on both sides of the road about 70 metres towards Delhi, reducing pedestrians' walking distance to the underpass. To improve connectivity, the report recommends building a new road linking Pukharpur Road with a service lane near the underpass and constructing footpaths for pedestrians. The report emphasises that immediate action is crucial, as the junction continues to pose a severe risk to both highway users and local commuters. Officials said they would strictly impose challans against buses halting at wrong spots and vehicles making illegal U-turns.

Govt owes tourism contractors over Rs 39.7cr with bills from 2019

Panaji : From housekeeping services and painting to legal fees and translations, the tourism department has racked up Rs 39.7 crore in unpaid bills. Contractors for events, vehicles and executed projects have been fretting with their money lying locked up with the tourism department as well as the Goa Tourism Development Corporation (GTDC), with some of the bills dating all the way back to 2019. Among those that the department owes money are govt entities such as Goa Human Resource Development Corporation Limited and Goa Electronics Limited. The tourism department's 17 outstanding bills are largely for tourism roadshows and trade fairs, and most are for the current year with just two bills dating back to Dec 2024. However, GTDC's track record of clearing bills of contractors and event management firms is not on par. The Goa Human Resource Development Corporation Ltd provided security services at GTDC residencies for 2019-20 for which it billed GTDC Rs 1.03 crore, an amount that remains unpaid, shows data released in the state legislative assembly. Invoices towards the organisation of the Manohar Parrikar Vidnyan Mahostav in Dec 2021 worth Rs 3.7 lakh also remain unpaid. Taxi bills worth Rs 8.65 crore remain unpaid, shows the data released in the state legislative assembly. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Emergency Generators in Sevilla: (Prices May Surprise You) Emergency Generator | Search Ads Search Now Undo Information provided by the department also shows that Rs 4.4 crore has to be released to a private firm for development of amenities at the Bom Jesus Basilica under the PRASHAD Scheme. GTDC said that many of these bills are 'under consideration' and will be cleared once scrutiny and approval is obtained. Bills for the G20 meetings, which were held in Goa, also remain unpaid. Goa hosted several G20-related meetings during India's presidency in 2023, including the G20 Tourism Working Group Meeting and the Tourism Ministers' Meeting.
