NHAI debars CDS infra projects for faulty construction on Amritsar-Jamnagar Expressway
The National Highways Authority of India has debarred CDS Infra Projects from participating in current and future national highway projects with effect from July 2 after cracks and settlements appeared in a small section of the under construction Sanchore–Santalpur portion of Amritsar-Jamnagar Expressway and instructed the contractor to rectify all defects at their own cost. Besides, it has imposed a monetary penalty of Rs 2.8 crore while issuing a show cause notice against the contractor, debarred authority engineer SA Infra in association with Upham and suspended NHAI project director (Palanpur) for faulty construction . Independent expert committees from IIT-BHU , IIT-Delhi, and IIT-Gandhinagar have been constituted to carry out detailed site inspections, testing, and to provide scientific recommendations, a government official said. As per the official, immediate remedial action has been initiated in the affected areas based on the recommendations of expert teams in view of the ongoing traffic movement along the corridor. 'The contractor has been instructed to rectify all defects at their own cost, specialized technical teams have been mobilized, and restoration works using appropriate machinery are currently underway,' the official said, adding the immediate restoration work including rectification of bitumen surface shall be done in next 10 days, subject to availability of dry spell. The preliminary assessment suggests that the failure of pavement crust is due to poor quality of aggregate interlayer (AIL), cement treated base (CTB), poor drainage and improper or cosmetic repairs carried out previously.

Kerala schools ditch backbenches with U-shaped seating; Anand Mahindra says 'will miss backbench' and here's why
In a move that's sparking both curiosity and nostalgia, Kerala schools are set to say goodbye to the age-old tradition of backbenchers. The state is introducing a new U-shaped seating arrangement in classrooms, designed to place teachers at the center—literally and figuratively—ensuring that no student is left behind (or in the back). The idea is to make classrooms more inclusive, eliminating the back rows that often turn into zones of distraction or neglect. But as this model catches the nation's attention, it has also stirred emotions among those who once proudly wore the 'backbencher' badge—most notably, industrialist Anand Mahindra . The Mahindra Group Chairman took to social media to share his take on the innovative seating layout. Calling it an "intriguing experiment," Mahindra acknowledged its potential to encourage more balanced participation and focused learning. But he also couldn't hide a tinge of wistfulness as he reminisced about his own love for the back row. In his school days, Mahindra revealed, he gravitated toward the back of the class—sometimes by choice, sometimes not. College gave him the freedom to make the 'skydeck' (as it was called in business school) his preferred spot. For him, the backbench was more than a location—it was a mental escape, a place to think deeply, even if not always about the lecture at hand. What inspired the U-shaped seating? Kerala's new U-shaped classroom model, where students sit around the teacher with no designated backbencher , is inspired by the 2024 Malayalam film Sthanarthi Sreekuttan. The idea was first implemented at Ramavilasam VHSS in Valakom after the film impressed the state transport minister K B Ganesh Kumar. Director Vinesh Viswanath revealed that at least eight schools in Kerala and one in Punjab have since adopted the setup, which promotes inclusivity, echoing the film's message of bridging classroom divides through semi-circular seating. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 나를 빛나게 해줄 예쁜 마음, 예쁜 팔찌 유니세프 지금 기부하기 Undo — anandmahindra (@anandmahindra) Internet reacts The internet had mixed reactions to Kerala's decision to do away with backbenches in classrooms. Some users applauded the move, saying it would level the playing field and encourage equal participation, with every student now getting centre stage. Others felt the change could sacrifice the creative freedom and quiet observation often found in the back rows. A few voiced ergonomic concerns, arguing that the U-shaped layout might strain students' necks. Several users also defended backbenchers, calling them quiet thinkers who often go on to lead from the front in life.
