'Apna Ghar' resting facilities for truckers along national highways find more takers
NEW DELHI: Resting facilities along national highways for truck drivers called Apna Ghars - equipped with all amenities - at just Rs 112 for eight hours are finding more takers. Data shows that there has been a more than five-fold increase in booking by drivers in June compared to the April-May period. While there were 3,348 bookings in April-May or 55 per day during the two months, this surged to 16,559 bookings or 552 per day in June. Govt expects that as the number offacilities increase, there will be a further rise in the number of bookings. The scheme was launched to address the hardship faced by drivers who often slept in trucks or at dhahas due to lack of good and affordable places along highways. Officials said over 65,000 drivers have downloaded the Apna Ghar mobile app and registered on it. To attract more users, a scheme offering free dormitory stays was introduced in June 2025 with the condition that drivers have to buy 50 litres of high-speed diesel from Apna Ghar sites. The promotional scheme will run for three months, they said. As of June, 368 Apna Ghar have been set up by oil marketing companies (OMCs) including four on the under-construction Delhi-Mumbai Expressway. The entire expressway have 30 such facilities. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like [카이스트박사 특허] 끈적한 혈관노폐물 녹이는 "이것" 연구개발,,2주만에 깨끗해져! 면역력 Rg3의 비결 더 알아보기 Undo Petroleum and natural gas minister Hardeep Singh Puri on X said, "Most of the accidents on highways are caused by drivers not taking rest and not getting enough sleep.

Taylor Swift set to become Chiefs' biggest fan as she commits to Travis Kelce's full 2025 season
Taylor Swift is attending numerous Kansas City Chiefs games this NFL season (Getty Images) For the first time since she and Travis Kelce began dating, Taylor Swift is entering an NFL season without the crushing demands of a global tour. With her record-breaking Eras Tour officially wrapped, Swift is prioritizing time with her boyfriend — and that means a front-row seat to the Kansas City Chiefs' 2025 campaign. Taylor Swift clears her fall schedule to fully embrace Chiefs Kingdom alongside Travis Kelce According to a PEOPLE insider, 'Taylor plans to be at as many of his games as possible,' signaling a shift from a relationship long shaped by flight itineraries and tour stops to one rooted in routine, support, and shared Sundays. Swift wrapped up her 149-show, five-continent Eras Tour in December 2024 — an undertaking so massive it often meant red-eye flights between shows and stadium seats, trying to steal moments with Kelce between NFL road trips and post-show decompression. But now, with no performances standing in the way, the Grammy winner is reportedly 'really looking forward to the upcoming NFL season.' As the source emphasized, 'It's the first season where she's not constantly flying back and forth or working around an entire touring calendar.' The couple's early relationship played out under a cloud of chaos — Swift was on the move constantly, and Kelce was juggling football, fame, and family. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like An engineer reveals: One simple trick to get internet without a subscription Techno Mag Learn More Undo 'The past two seasons were a whirlwind between performing across multiple countries, long flights, and trying to squeeze in alone time together wherever possible,' the insider added. 'It wasn't easy but they made it work.' Kelce, for his part, never took her efforts for granted. 'She tried to get to as many as she could last year, and she came to a lot,' he said during an appearance on Bussin' with the Boys. 'We'll have Tay representing up at Arrowhead.' Now, as Kelce gears up for his 13th NFL season, the couple is embracing a new rhythm — one built around Sunday tailgates and fewer red carpets. Swift won't just be a rare face at the Super Bowl or high-profile matchups — she's expected to be a consistent presence in Arrowhead's suites and even at select away games.
