Suicide bid at Central stn stalls Metro services for 1 hour
Kolkata: Metro services on the North-South (Blue) line were disrupted for an hour on Saturday following a suicide bid at Central station. Though truncated services were operated, several commuters were hassled as no trains were available in the Maidan-Girish Park section until 12.55 pm. Around 11.55 am, a man jumped before a Dakshineswar-bound train at the Central station, a Metro Railway spokesperson said. The third rail, which supplies electricity to the rakes, was switched off to rescue the man from the tracks and give him medical aid. "Truncated services were run between Maidan and New Garia (Kavi Subhas) stations and between Girish Park and Dakshineswar stations for an hour," the Metro official said.

Normal services on the entire New Garia-Dakshineswar stretch resumed from 12.55 pm. Even as the rush hour was just ending and it was a Saturday, several commuters were inconvenienced with no services being provided from either the northern or the southern terminals to the central business district. "As trains were going up to Maidan, I decided to avail the Metro and take a bus to my workplace at Chandni Chowk. Fortunately, I managed to board a crowded bus even as I was late for work by an hour," Abhirup Das, an executive, said. tnn

26 junior engineers with Pimpri Chinchwad civic body issued notices for delay in pothole repairs
Pune: The Pimpri Chinchwad Municipal Corporation has issued show cause notices to 19 junior engineers for failing to address pothole complaints within the stipulated time and another seven junior engineers for not adhering to the standard operating procedure, civic officials told TOI on Friday. Under the SOP for the 'PCMC Pothole Management' application that was launched last month, junior engineers are required to repair the reported potholes within eight days and upload photos of the completed work in the system, which are visible to the complainants. Makarand Nikam, city engineer with PCMC, said, "The junior engineers were expected to regularly check complaints received via the application and repair the potholes in time, but many of them failed. Some did not follow SOP; hence we have served show cause notices on them." You Can Also Check: Pune AQI | Weather in Pune | Bank Holidays in Pune | Public Holidays in Pune The civic body has been criticised for the increasing number of pothole-related complaints and the poor condition of roads. As per the available data, as many as 1,875 potholes had been identified or reported to PCMC till July 7, of which 1,464 have already been filled, while work on the remaining ones is under way. The data indicates that the highest number of complaints have been reported from E ward, which includes areas such as Moshi, Charholi, and parts of Bhosari. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Forget Furosemide, Use This Household Item To Help Drain Edema Fluid WellnessGuide Learn more Undo Sanjeevan Sangle, president of Chikhali Moshi Pimpri Chinchwad Cooperative Housing Society Federation, said, "The condition of several roads like the one connecting Chikhali to Nevale Vasti is worst. The contractors have used poor quality materials and people are left to suffer. " The state of Bhujbal Chowk-Vishal Nagar BRT road has worsened and the civic authorities do not seem to be serious about doing repair works, said a resident of Wakad. PCMC officials said the pothole count was higher this year as pre-monsoon repair work was hampered by the early arrival of rain. "Every year, the target is set to fill all identified potholes before May 31, but the schedule was disturbed this time," an official said, adding that they are fixing all the reported potholes on priority to avoid inconvenience to people. The civic body has written to the Pune Metro authorities following several complaints about the poor condition of the service road along the old Pune-Mumbai highway between Nigdi and Chinchwad railway station, where work for the extension of the Metro line from the PCMC Metro station to Nigdi is currently on. Bapusaheb Gaikwad, joint city engineer, said the service road has been handed over to the Metro authorities for the duration of their construction work, and they are responsible for its upkeep. "The stretch from Tilak Chowk to Khandoba Mal Chowk as well as the segment between Kalbhor Nagar subway and Chinchwad Station are in an extremely poor condition. We have informed Metro officials that PCMC has received several complaints from residents and they must carry out urgent repairs," Gaikwad said, adding resident groups and political parties have threatened to launch a protest if repairs are not undertaken promptly. Hemant Sonawane, executive director (administration and public relations) at Maha Metro, told TOI, "We have received the letter from PCMC and we will carry out the repair work."

‘Can't ignore preservation concerns as Mumbai grows': HC directs MMRCL to restore heritage feature of JN Petit Institute
The Bombay High Court emphasised on Thursday that while the city's development march cannot be halted, it cannot run roughshod over concerns for the preservation and maintenance of historic or heritage structures. In doing so, the high court disposed of a plea by trustees of the over 100-year-old J N Petit Institute's heritage building in the Fort area of South Mumbai that raised apprehensions of damage due to works for the Metro Line-3 project. A division bench of Justices Mahesh S Sonak and Jitendra S Jain, on July 10, directed the Mumbai Metro Rail Corporation Limited (MMRCL) to abide by its assurance to reconstruct a fallen limestone finial, a heritage feature that adorned a portion of the said historic building situated at Dadabhai Naoroji (DN) Road. The finial is an architectural ornamental and decorative feature, usually crafted from limestone and often placed on the top of structure. The plea claimed that despite having renovated the building in 2014-15 to its earlier glory, the finial in question collapsed on August 25, 2017. The MMRCL, however, said that it had taken due precautions during the work. This came after the MMRCL made a statement that without prejudice to its rights and contentions and without accepting any liability, it has agreed to reconstruct at its own expense one of the limestone finials that earlier formed part of the building. 'There can be no doubt that the protection and preservation of the petitioners' building is a must. Whilst the march of development and infrastructural projects cannot be halted in a city like Mumbai, such a march cannot be permitted to run roughshod over the concerns of preserving and maintaining heritage buildings for posterity,' the court said. The court noted that the respondent authorities, including MMRCL and Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) represented by advocates Mayur Khandeparkar and Kavita N Solunke, respectively, must conduct their activities by ensuring they don't harm or unduly destroy heritage structures. 'There are cases where such Heritage Areas or Structures are irreversibly harmed or destroyed, and the authorities responsible for such destruction or those whose lack of oversight caused it often plead fait accompli (something that already happened and can't be changed). This conduct cannot be tolerated,' the high court added. The high court recorded MMRCL's statement suggesting that the Metro tunnel's alignment was not directly under the Petit building and the tracks ran approximately 4 to 5 metres away horizontally and around 25 metres below the ground level from the building. The J N Petit building is a Grade-II A heritage structure constructed in the Neo-Gothic Revival style in 1898 and was conferred with the UNESCO Award of Distinction for Cultural Heritage Conservation in 2015. The Jamsetji Nusserwanji Petit Trust said the building has a reading room and a library housing nearly 1 lakh books, including 2,400 rare books and 12 manuscripts, some of which date back to the 17th century, as per the judgment. The high court directed the petitioner Trust to fully cooperate for the reconstruction of the finial and to obtain prior permissions from the concerned authorities, including heritage bodies, for such restoration. The MMRCL shall complete restoration within eight months of obtaining approvals. 'We find it difficult to accept the petitioners' belated contention about some serious damage to the petitioners' building on account of the works which, according to the petitioners, were completed in 2023,' the high court noted. In September 2017, the high court had stayed excavation or tunnelling in the area around the heritage building. In November that year, it had ordered resumption of work after perusing the MMRCL's submission that they had completed precautionary measures recommended by a court-appointed Expert Committee. The court observed that the building required protection and maintenance, however it was 'difficult to uphold the allegations of callousness or disregard to the concerns expressed by the petitioners regarding their Heritage Building.' It said the authorities had 'substantially complied' with recommendations of the Expert Panel. Disposing of the plea, the bench said that at present, it was not appropriate to address concerns over damage to the building after the Metro line becomes operational as it would be 'too speculative,' and the Trust can seek remedies in future.
