PWD prepares plan to reduce commute time at railway crossings
Under the 'Setu Bhandhan' initiative, a budget of Rs 1,111 crore has been earmarked which would be diverted via central road and infrastructure fund (CRIF) to take up the projects.
Taking the vision of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath forward, PWD is coordinating closely with the railways to identify the locations where such civil works are needed as per the traffic congestion to take up the railway overbridges or underbrides as required.
The Uttar Pradesh State Bridge Corporation Limited will oversee the construction and development of the 10 proposed bridges.
Furthermore, CRIF will also be utilised for road-related works, including the construction of bypasses, ring roads, service lanes alongside national highways and widening and strengthening of roads.
For these projects, the Yogi govt prepared an action plan for works worth Rs 136 crore, approved at the end of the last financial year. Land acquisition and utility shifting for these projects will be carried out by the state govt itself.

Mumbai's iconic Filmistan Studios, founded by Kajol and Rani Mukerji's grandfather, sold for Rs 183 crore; to be redeveloped into luxury towers by 2026
Filmistan Studios, one of Mumbai's earliest and most storied film studios, has officially been acquired by Arkade Developers for Rs 183 crore. The deal was registered on July 3 and marks the end of an era for a property that played a foundational role in shaping the landscape of Indian cinema since the 1940s. Filmistan was founded in 1943 by Sasadhar Mukherjee, grandfather of actors Kajol and Rani Mukerji, alongside actor Ashok Kumar, Gyan Mukherjee, and Rai Bahadur Chunilal. The studio was born out of a break from Bombay Talkies, and quickly became a hub for Hindi film production. Back then, studios weren't just rental spaces, they were full-fledged production houses employing actors on monthly salaries. A legacy of Indian cinema to be replaced by luxury living Known for its sound stages, accessible outdoor sets, and central location in Goregaon West, Filmistan served as the backdrop for countless Bollywood films, TV shows, and advertisements over several decades. However, with newer, tech-savvy studios mushrooming across the city, Filmistan gradually lost its sheen. Now, the four-acre parcel on SV Road is set to transform. Arkade Developers plans to launch an ultra-luxury residential project with a projected gross development value of Rs 3,000 crore. The high-rise development, slated for a tentative launch in 2026, will reportedly include 3, 4, and 5 BHK residences and penthouses across two 50-storey towers. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Upto 15% Discount for Salaried Individuals ICICI Pru Life Insurance Plan Get Quote Undo 'Thrilled to shape the next chapter' Confirming the news on LinkedIn, Arkade Developers' Chairman and Managing Director Amit Jain wrote, 'Thrilled to share that Arkade Developers has successfully acquired the iconic 4-acre Filmistan Pvt.

The Defense Ministry has approved a big deal of 'military hardware' and 'platforms' worth about Rs 1.05 lakh crore. The Defense Acquisition Council (DAC) headed by Defense Minister Rajnath Singh approved these procurement projects.
