RUB gets govt's green light; work set to commence soon
According to the sources, for the past several years, the proposed RUB at LC Gate 249 at Turkapally has been lying in the district collector's office for approval and recently, the collector has given the green signal to begin the works. Now the stretch has been dug up and LC Gate on New Bolaram to Turkapally Village main road has been closed and commuters have been verbally urged to take alternate routes.
The RUB is sanctioned in lieu of LC No-249 (Turkapally) on the SC-MUE section which is combined work with ten LCs (Sanctioned cost of 10 LCs is Rs 49.50 crore). This will help in strengthening the safety for both road and rail users, facilitate seamless movement of traffic for road users at level crossing gates, said a senior officer, SCR.
Murali Krishna, president of Federation of New Bolarum, said, 'Many colonies in Turkapally are cut off due to LC 249 and several motorists are being forced to wait for hours to cross the rail gate every day, as it provides an intermediate connection between the National Highway-44 at Kompally and the Rajiv Rahadari.'
Even as several RTIs were filed and many inspections were conducted by the railways as well as the state government, the final nod from the collector was pending, which resulted in delay of the project. The RUBs at this stretch will help in the smooth flow of traffic once they are complete, he added.

World Bank: India ranks 4th in income equality, ahead of US and China; 171 million lifted out of extreme poverty
India has become one of the most equal societies in the world, ranking fourth globally in income equality with a Gini Index of 25.5, according to the latest World Bank data. India stands next only to the Slovak Republic, Slovenia, and Belarus which have better income equality scores. The Gini Index measures income distribution on a scale from 0 (perfect equality) to 100 (maximum inequality). India's score is better than that of major economies like China (35.7), the United States (41.8), and all G7 and G20 countries. A release from the Social Welfare department said, "It reflects how India's economic progress is being shared more evenly across its population. Behind this success is a consistent policy focus on reducing poverty, expanding financial access, and delivering welfare support directly to those who need it most." India's Gini Index has improved from 28.8 in 2011, showing steady progress in equitable growth. A key reason behind this has been the country's strong push in reducing poverty. The World Bank's Spring 2025 Poverty and Equity Brief noted that between 2011 and 2023, about 171 million Indians moved out of extreme poverty. During the same period, India's poverty rate dropped sharply from 16.2 per cent to just 2.3 per cent, based on the global poverty line of $2.15 per day. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Is it legal?
