Nand Nagri flyover's opening to coincide with PM's birthday
PWD minister Parvesh Verma said all efforts were being made to complete the project on time. "The department aims to inaugurate the flyover around Sept 16–17, aligning with Prime Minister Narendra Modi's birthday," he said.
Once the flyover is operational, Nand Nagri and Gagan Cinema junctions will become signal-free, easing congestion in the area and improving connectivity across northeast Delhi.

Verma conducted an inspection of the Nand Nagri T-junction flyover on Monday, which forms a critical segment of the larger plan to make the Wazirabad Road (Mangal Pandey Marg) completely signal-free from Signature Bridge to the Ghaziabad border.
He was accompanied by North East Delhi MP Manoj Tiwari and deputy speaker Mohan Singh Bisht.
The flyover, in one of Delhi's busiest corridors, is in the final stage of construction. The 6–7km stretch of Wazirabad Road has long seen multiple traffic cuts and uncontrolled junctions. To resolve this, Delhi govt undertook a two-part flyover project — a 1.3 km double-decker flyover by Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) and another 1.4km single-pillar flyover, including the Nand Nagri T-Junction, executed by PWD Delhi.

Once complete, the corridor will be signal-free, ensuring seamless vehicular movement between Delhi and Uttar Pradesh and reducing travel time for thousands of daily commuters. The project faced delays due to pending clearance to cut 27 trees, primarily around a 240-meter ramp near Mandoli Jail. "With environmental permissions now granted, the final phase has resumed," said a senior official.
The 1.5-km flyover will have six lanes, and six U-turns. The first will be constructed near Nand Nagari police station, followed by two back-to-back U-turns, which will be 500 metres ahead of the turn near the police station. Another set of back-to-back U-turns have been proposed near the Gagan Cinema bus stop, and another after the Gagan Cinema junction.

When will PM Modi breaks silence: Congress after Donald Trump repeats ‘stopped India-Pak conflict' claim
The Congress on Tuesday (July 8, 2025) said U.S. President Donald Trump has for at least the 21st time repeated his claims on bringing about a "ceasefire" between India and Pakistan, and asked when will Prime Minister Narendra Modi break his "silence" on this issue. In his remarks on Monday (July 7, 2025), Mr. Trump repeated the claim that he stopped the war between India and Pakistan by telling the two neighbours that Washington would not do trade with them if they continued the fighting. Congress general secretary in-charge communications Jairam Ramesh said, "For at least the 21st time in the last 59 days, President Trump has said that he "stopped the four-day India-Pakistan war in May; the war was about to escalate into a nuclear conflict." Mr. Trump has stated that India and Pakistan agreed to a ceasefire because the carrot-and-stick of trade with the U.S. was used by him, Mr. Ramesh said. "In other words, his message was: stop the war at once or face the real prospects of losing American markets (and presumably investment)," he said. 'President Trump has trumpeted all this just as he was also announcing that a US trade deal with India and Pakistan was about to be declared very soon,' Mr. Ramesh said. "When will Narendra Modi — once described by his senior colleague Ghanshyam Tiwari as the BJP's 'trump card' - break his silence on this issue?" the Congress leader said. Mr. Trump on Monday (July 7, 2025) said the U.S. is close to making a trade deal with India. "Now, we've made a deal with the United Kingdom, we've made a deal with China. We're close to making a deal with India. Others we met with and we don't think we're going to be able to make a deal, so we just send them a letter. If you want to play ball, this is what you have to pay," Mr. Trump said. Repeating his claim about bringing about a ceasefire between India and Pakistan, Trump said, "We did a job with India and Pakistan, Serbia, Kosovo, Rwanda and the Congo, and this was all over the last three weeks or so and others that were ready to fight." "And we stopped a lot of fights. I think the very big one, frankly, a very, very big one, was India and Pakistan. And we stopped that over trade," he said. "We said we're not going to be dealing with you at all if you're going to fight. And they were maybe at a nuclear stage. They're both nuclear powers. And I think stopping that was very important," Mr. Trump added. Since May 10, Mr. Trump has repeated his claim several times that he helped settle the tensions between India and Pakistan and that he told the nuclear-armed South Asian neighbours that America will do a lot of trade with them if they stop the conflict. India launched Operation Sindoor on May 7, targeting terrorist infrastructure in territories controlled by Pakistan in response to the Pahalgam terror attack. The strikes triggered four days of intense clashes that ended with an understanding on stopping the military actions on May 10. New Delhi has been maintaining that India's fierce counter-attack that day forced Pakistan to plead for ending the hostilities.

Disabilities court fines 96 establishments Rs 50k each for non-compliance with online norms
Representative image NEW DELHI: The Court of the Chief Commissioner of Persons with Disabilities (CCPD) has imposed a penalty of Rs 50,000 each on 96 establishments, including Standardisation Testing and Qualify Certification (STQC) Directorate of the ministry of electronics & information technology, for failing, as of mid-June, to comply with accessibility standards for websites, mobile applications and other digital platforms. The list includes central ministries, their departments, and several private establishments that are among 155 establishments which were slapped with a fine of Rs 10,000 in Feb, with a warning of higher penalty in case of non-compliance. The court highlighted that 95 establishments (minus STQC) that now face higher penalties neither submitted an audit report nor appointed an Integrated Audit & Assurance Professional (IAAP)-certified auditor, and did not even report initiating the process of appointment of auditors as of June 17. The ministries on the list include cooperation, civil aviation, corporate affairs, drinking water and sanitation, earth sciences, food processing, labour and employment, ports, shipping and waterways, railways, road, transport and highways, skill development and entrepreneurship, statistics and programme implementation, steel, panchayati raj, information and broadcasting and Ayush. In its June-20 order, the CCPD gave the establishments seven days to deposit the penalty in the National Fund for Persons with Disabilities and also notified them that a fresh review of compliance filed by organisations since the June-20 order will be carried out in July. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 아픈 사람의 99%는 목이 뭉쳐있습니다.

Undo Establishments that continue to remain non-compliant will face higher fine, which may be as high as Rs 5 lakh, it said. The CCPD has asked establishments, including ministries, that have claimed they were wrongly fined to furnish evidence of compliance. The CCPDhad sought access to audit reports and asked if 'access auditors' had been appointed as per law for scrutinising and verifying whether the websites, portals and apps comply with accessibility standards aimed at enabling blind, deaf and deaf-blind persons to access the online mode. The court expressed its 'dismay and shock' over the fact that STQC, on which all govt establishments rely for accessibility audit, is itself 'not compliant, and is furnishing a lame excuse, which is a stock response of many other non-compliant establishments'. The CCPD, in its order, noted that STQC had informed the court that as its previous website was not accessible, it was redesigning the website to make the same compliant with the Rights of Persons with Disabilities Act, 2016. Besides taking action against the 96 establishments, the CCPD noted that 20 establishments had reported that the process of appointing an access auditor was underway, 63 establishments said they had appointed access auditors but did not submit an audit report and 18 submitted their access audit reports. While five establishments that deposited the penalty of Rs 10,000 reported appointing an auditor, three did not report any status on appointing an auditor and two were in the process of appointing one. However, none of the establishments that paid penalties submitted the access audit reports.
