Coimbatore Corporation initiates study to ease congestion at R.S. Puram junction
The Coimbatore Corporation has initiated a study to ease growing traffic congestion at the R.S. Puram junction.
Corporation Commissioner M. Sivaguru Prabakaran said a team from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Madras will carry out a month-long study, which will include traffic volume counts, turning movement analysis, conflict point identification, and a reassessment of the available space at the junction.
Necessary improvements will be taken up based on the report, he said.
Once regulated by traffic signals, the intersection of DB Road and TV Samy Road now operates without them, as the area had been developed earlier under the Smart Cities Mission.
'The existing roundabout is not the best option for handling the traffic. It is often managed by a traffic police personnel, but still ends up getting choked,' said S. Ambika, a resident of R.S. Puram.
G. Manuneethi, Divisional Engineer of the State Highways Department (Road Safety), said the junction earlier had a diameter of about 25 metres, which could accommodate a 14-metre roundabout and provide nine metres of motorable space. The existing roundabout is only about six metres in diameter, which is not ideal for turning radius,' he said.

India's homegrown 5G innovation paves way for 6G
HYDERABAD: India's homegrown 5G innovation has gone global. At the 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) meeting held in Prague, a global consortium backed the extension of India's BPSK uplink waveform, paving the way for 6G. First developed at IIT Hyderabad (IIT-H) in 2014, the waveform aims to support next-gen, uplink-heavy applications like HD video, XR and on-device AI, while laying the groundwork for 6G. Led by Prof Kiran Kuchi of IIT-H and supported by WiSig Networks, the innovation has journeyed from a single-lab idea to a global 5G standard (Release 17). Today, it is used by operators and vendors worldwide, thanks to support from tech giants—Apple, Qualcomm, Ericsson, Nokia, Samsung, MediaTek, DOCOMO, AT&T, Reliance Jio, Thales—and national bodies including DoT, MeitY, DST and TSDSI. 'This milestone signals India's arrival in global telecom leadership,' said Prof Kuchi. IIT Hyderabad Director Prof BS Murty noted, 'Our research continues to push boundaries, with 6G efforts already underway through technologies like OTFDM and Structural MIMO.' As the 6G era dawns, IIT-H and WiSig Networks are already advancing technologies such as the OTFDM waveform and Structural MIMO within the newly approved 6G Study Item. A WiSig release said, 'Together with Indian and global partners, we will continue to imagine, invent and deliver the next generation of communication technologies.'
